Stencils Inside of Celebrate People's History by Josh MacPhee

Submitted by russell on

Stencil artists abound in this new book of Celebrate People's History posters by Josh MacPhee, now out from Feminist Press. Haven't seen the book yet, but know that stencil artists include: SWOON, Klutch, Chris Stain, Josh MacPhee, Janet Attard, and myself. I am sure that there are more as well because I know that some CPH posters start off as cut-out art. 

My stencil is an element in a poster on South Carolina's Stono Rebellion. The main artwork is by long-time collaborator and friend Mark Cort, and I conceived the idea and developed the text. Josh did all the great photoshopping of the various elements I mailed to him. 

hope you check it out and enjoy: http://www.feministpress.org/…
