Please consider donating what you can to support the much-needed upgrade. Photo submissions always welcome. Enjoy and stay curious.
Other ways to support this site (beyond submitting pics, videos, exhibit info, etc.):

Major Stencil Archive Update
Welcome to the newest version of Stencil Archive! Sorry that the photos were down for the last few weeks. In order to update them, the old links had to be broken. This is 4.0 of the Stencil Archive, which humbly began in 2002 as a Photoshop albums site with a redirected URL. Things are mostly finished here, but I think that Stencil Arhcive will forever be in beta mode due to the fact that it is a mostly volunteer effort. Some tweaks may happen in the coming weeks, so I will mention it if they do.

CRASS Members in San Francisco
Gee Vaucher and Penny Rimbaud, collective members of CRASS and early stencil pioneers, will be in San Francisco this weekend. Their logo may be one of the most famous stencils from the 1970s punk scenes. Gee also recently told me that CRASS also altered billboards with stencils during the same period.
Gee Vaucher has an exhibit up on Valencia Street, and there will also be a spoken word performance by Penny Rimbaud. Proceeds from the performance go towards covering their expenses for the trip here.

FORE is a collection of 14 years worth of image/ word associations--original stencil illustrations coupled with four-letter words. The pairings range from the pedantic and apparent to the obtusely personal--nodding to pop culture, politics and adolescent vulgarity. Collectively, these illustrations and text form FORE--an invitation to vandalism and creativity masquerading as a 26-word homage to 21st century youth that moonlights as a picture dictionary trying to make it as a handmade artist book.
