No for me this one but huge amount of colours, 28 on the prints and 40 on the canvas I think? I don’t think there is a better technical stencil artist on earth at the moment.

I like his landscapes, but in this day and age you could diy. You just need to spend time editing in photoshop and send the files to get them laser cut. Electing to do them by hand is a manual operation, and I'm sure that I could airtask that function if I want to maintain the handmade aspect.

[kalm]

26 colors.

This has amazing detail.

Lets be honest, laser would be your only option. Even a lot of stencil artists would struggle to replicate this. Your not going to find someone who makes a living doing odd jobs to do it for you.

On the other hand you could certainly have someone reproduce a Banksy for you by hand, why bother spending all the thousands on an original.

A million colours and masses of skill and very very dull

Yeah...... right........

I can see why this would not interest some people, but I love the fact that it combines an image of a classic western landscape with such a complicated stencil process. The marriage of the two is subversive to me, and in a way that my mom could still look at it and say "oh, that's nice." (That's what she would say.)

If there are any part time or full time artists where stencils is your primary method of producing art, what are your thoughts on RC's technical ability?

Just want to clear up that no amount of dedication and effort, or blood, sweat or tears will achieve the same results as RC.

Roamcouch is undoubtedly a massive talent when it comes to stencil work, but like some others, I find the last couple of releases a little boring. I appreciate the skill that goes into creating a stenciled original and screenprints of this level, but sadly they don't interest me as much as his past work.

[Mr. Inanimate Object]

Agree... Immensely talented artist but last few releases are quite dull and nothing like his earlier more imaginative works...

Laser cutting stencils is an insult to artists who do it by hand... Especially if you try to hide it.

Why would an artist that cuts by hand be insulted by laser cutting?

Claiming to hand cut your stencils whilst you laser cut them makes you a liar.
Still.... no insult to other artists.

It will probably make your work look rather fabricated.
Hand cutting makes it more personal and certainly more unique.

Roamcouch is top level!
His Venice wall is insane.

I agree. My statement was more a figure of speech. I think we are saying the same thing...

[Deleted]

His skills are insane for sure..

[kjg]

Wow! This is really cool!

[Express Post]

So if there are any artists out there that feel that the standard set by Roamcouch is attainable or not, please let us know.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Not sure there is a better stencils artist out there in terms of technique.

1. I've seen the sketches that RC does in preparation of the final pieces. He is a seriously talented illustrator. In my opinion his composition, colours, and subject matter is what makes him a great artist. To boot, he is truly a master of his medium (stencils)

2. I picked up one of these. I really like this piece. Very calming, compelling to look at.

While I personally don't get excited about anything Roamcouch does, I did immediately recognise this scene. It is called Havasu Falls and I swam in its pools about 20 years ago. One of the most exciting days of my life since within 30-60 minutes the scene changed dramatically after a downpour. Before we knew it waterfalls were forming all around us along the canyon's edge. All the rain from a few kilometer radius around us was finding it's way into the canyon and Havasu creek turned into a raging orange monster destroying everything in it's path. We came to Supai by horse but ended up flying out by helicopter. A very exciting and frightening day! It is one of the most amazing places I have seen.

[lollo88]

Wow this would look great in my Grandma's living room
Honestly love many of his works. This is the saddest and most boring landscape I've seen in a while!

I purchased this AP direct from Ryo back in 2015. Just moved house and loads of framed art is nicely packaged up so looking to maybe offload a few bits.

Simply framed in black. Admittedly poor photo here:

Not for me but some might like

[st0ni0]

On reflection I should have stated a price.  I paid 38000 yen which back when I purchased it was about £210.  Frame job was £100ish and I'm looking for £250 now.

So below cost if you count the frame (I know many don't).
