Thanks for all the stencil tips guys.
I'll show my next attempt now I have more of the required tools!

Recut and this time used fixing spray, and on a canvas.

Saturday's painting session resulted in these two of Oasis front man Noel Gallagher. Quite a few layers.

Obviously the stuff I'm stencilling at the minutes isn't generally the thing that people on an art forum like this would usually part with cash for. But looking for advice if I'm to set up a big cartel or something similar, what would be a realistic pricing for things? Any advice positive or negative.

I was about to ask, with your stencil skills, why aren't you selling your work? You've clearly got the skill to match and exceed many commercially successful stencil artists.

Price is at what you think it's worth, not what you think people will buy it for.

I would research what other similar artists in bigcartel are charging and then base your prices on where you see yourself fitting in.

I would also make each stencil a limited edition as that would increase perceived value.

I think the main thing would be how you get your store seen by people, and again your prices should be also be considered based on who will be visitng your site.

Well the runs of multi layer stencils like these limit themselves due to the wear and tear on the stencil and recutting is a lot of work. Thanks for the compliments Dr. Very humbled.

Still learning and gaining confidence by stencilling stuff I think will sell in the marketplace before I choose to inflict my inner Whatson/ Kuntsrasen on the forum. I know the Weller And OCS group have seen my recent stuff and response has been great and have a friend with a huge Liam Gallagher connection so his mug is up for a stencil I reckon. Great challenge doing this stuff though.

[Hubble Bubble]

Really high quality work, mate. Think you've captured Noel perfectly.

[Aza]

Have you tried laminated paper for your stencils?
That's what I am going to try on my next attempt.

Excellent cutting skillz Mr Zero

Weller and Gallagher!

I know that most of us just go to the "New Posts" thread to get caught up on what's happening recently on the forum, but I personally find the "Your Own Work" thread as one of the best.  It represents what this forum was originally meant to be, helpful, informative with a great sense of community.  Just read the last 2 pages where guys are helping each other with what exact knife to use, what paint and other supplies to buy and building each other up with positivity.

Just laminated a piece to try, and wow it is definitely the way forward!

1) Cuts super clean lines with no fluffy bits I could get with the card.
2) Is much stronger so will be a great help with intricate pieces.
3) Is far more re-useable.
4) The laminate swivels around on the cutting mat really nicely.

Much much better!

[Aza]

I've also started using Inkscape to make the stencil layers.
Have you tried it?
So much quicker and easier than Photoshop

For anyone interested (and some clever people have found me already) I have an Instagram as ihatezero for a quicker nose around.

I'm still thinking of starting a print house to release works by forum members at reasonable prices. Thoughts?
