Stencil Art & Wear it

http://www.turtlehead.ie

After 9 long months, we are thrilled to present to you our new baby turtlehead. As you can all imagine the last few months have not been pleasant.
We have managed to work our way through 40 canvases, 7 tubes of red acryllic, 6 tins of black spray paint, 4 rolls of masking tape, 600 t-shirts, 900 labels, 1200 tags, 1 numbering device, 1 badge machine, 2000 badges, and many sleepless nights.

http://www.turtlehead.ie finally arrived on Tuesday 29th August 2006 at 5.45pm weighing in at 15mb. Baby and parents are doing fine and visitors are welcome straight away. But please be gentle as she's only little and she might be teething.

If you enjoy her as much as we do, please pass her on to your friends and loved ones. She loves the attention.

Cheers,

Keith & Bridgette

Biters are afoot always

I have had to search the internet and find out who bit me.  But it looks like it has happened a few times,  I am still finding other places.  Like this one! This is an article written in the spring of 2005, also after the date I originally posted my stencil onto stencil revolution. Here is a link to a pdf that was released by Variant, it is a an article written about stencils.  One thing was omitted, my credit.  Its good enough to be used on the header of the paper with photos of Banksy and other artists, but not to give me credit BeMoR187  just incase you dont believe i have skills, hit me here on myspace Rev Harvey Wallbanger aka Bemor187
