Pushing 10K pics! How about that? Just in time to start promoting Stencil Nation, which goes to press this week. How about that? Ah, April goodness. Tonight's uploads supported by classical Persian music (go Iran!), Secret Chiefs 3, and my roomies' nice offering of food just at the right moment.

Happy Spring. Happy Monday.

Not so happy in other parts of the world. Sudan, Palestine, Tibet, Iraq are a few places that are currently home to oppression and suffering. Many stencils in today's upload reflect opinions about war.

Artists old and new sent fresh submissions:

• A1one in Iran
• MO-PI in France
• J. Mitchell in the Bay Area
• i'm in New England
• xtcrustx in San Diego

Random USA uploads:

• South Carolina

Many San Francisco uploads:

8900 Stencils and Growing! Thanks for dropping off your works.

Got a steady stream of submissions over the past few weeks... THANKS! From Hawaii to France to Australia, Stencil Nation represents....

• Swoon finally gets a much respected Archive
• Singles from BRYN, a crew in Uruguay, Romanowski, France, and Italy

Just hit 8800 with this batch. Yeee haw (sorry, listening to bluegrass on the net radio)....

At long last, all the San Francisco backlog is now online. New archives have been created. The Strangers and Claire posed major issues for my current organizational skills, but I think I have weeded out most of the loose ends and duplicate photos. Since I photograph stencils at a higher resolution, I decided to make low resolution versions of all the files. This created quicker upload times, and allowed me to do all of this in one day.

Still have backlog for other archives, but nothing as out of control as my San Francisco pile was.

8600+ photos and counting, so start clicking!

• Clarion Alley Mural Project (CAMP) gets a new archive
• Civic Center and the Tenderloin finally get a new archive too
• Here are all the Valencia St. goodies
• Mission District represents
• Haight and Divisadero streets got an updated archive
  
• Castro District is updated too
• The Poster Archive has new ones
• Think I finally have all of Claire's stencils in one place
• Added three more to The Strangers archive (still wish I knew the order)
• the Sunset Richmond Dists. archive got bigger
• so did the SoMa and Financial Dists. archive

I went through the SF archives and moved items around, deleted a few duplicates, etc. So if you're missing your favorite stencil pic, it may be somewhere else. Search for it if you can remember the filename.

No matter how you look at it, this small update took Stencil Archive over the 8400 mark!

Waiting on a friend to go funk dancing, so thought I'd drop a nice Saturday bomb at ya......

Here's some new booty to fill yer tummies with. Elect a stencil to office while yer at it!

Bryn drops a few new ones.

Koleszar sent a 15 layers, 20 odd colors, 30 x 40" submission for his archive.

I just went through the San Francisco Poster and Valencia St. archives and keyworded/renamed all the images I could find that show stencils from the (de)Appropriation Project's wall. A simple search in the Stencil Archives for "dap" or "deappropriation project" or "art wall" will give you over 50 images I have taken of the dap wall near 24th st. All future additions to this site will have these keywords as well.

On top of submitting jpg images for the Archives, the new version of Stencil Archive can now accept the following content:
