That is a hilariously fun stencil. The only thing I'd suggest is that you use some spray adhesive for when you paint the black layer with the facial features. They're just a bit blurry.

I must say, this is pretty sweet looking.

. . .and the beat goes on

thanks man. the only problem I have is I'm going to do it on t-shirts, would the spray adhesive be able to be removed easily from shirts after I spray them?

I agree that the underspray around the facial features does make it look sloppy. I just can't find a good way to fix it and spray a couple shirts too. Any suggestions you have would rock.

ROCK ON!!!

I definitely wouldn't use any spray adhesive on fabric. It'd probably be a pretty gross situation. Also, were you planning to make the t-shirts with just regular spray paint? If so, let me try to discourage you from doing that because the shirts aren't going to look good after you wash them (even once). Make a really good, lasting investment and pick up some screen printing equipment. You can get a big old screen, frame, base, and squeegee from Dick Blick's website for around $50 and that stuff will go a long way. Ink is usually less than $10 a bottle at whatever local art store is around (avoid Michael's for ink), and that stuff will also last you a long time. The main advantage to making shirts with a screen printer isn't even the ink (though it's nice), it's the fact that your stencil is pressed down under the screen so you won't have any blurry edges. I don't know if you're that serious about making t-shirts, but if you have the ~$70 to get two ink bottles and the screen, it would be well worth your time. Plus, screen printing is pretty fun in itself. I've done it on everything from hats to computer cases. Anyway, that's my long-winded answer to your question.

well I take you comment with much thanks. but for what I'm doing with these shirts, buying silkscreening stuff isn't the best idea. I'm kinda doing a graffiti t-shirt campaign at my band camp in a couple days. so it just has to be quick and very little mess. I already made a test shirt and washed it. It doesn't fade tooooo much.

but thanks so much for your help. you are the first person to actually give me useful advice on this website, and I've been here for like 3 years. thanks.
