The Foo Fighter... 3/06/2010
This weeks stencil was in response to... Mr Dave Grohl! The Lord McNaude informed me what a Foo Fighter was and with further research on good ol wikipedia I discovered that is was a UFO. I thought it would be humourous if Davey boy was sucked up by the name of his own band...

Drumroll
Ok so this week i responded to Nick's stencil from Week 5 - Dave Grohl - quite obvious connection with him being lead drummer in a couple of bands and all. It was much better than I thought though considering its a 6 colour stencil this week but still didn't turn out as accurate as I would've liked - stupid wind! Anyway had fun doing the stencils overall, it was pretty good..

This week my stencil was a bit of an homage to the course as a whole with someone in a bomb suit approaching a spray can. I was pretty pissed off that Yoda foot struck again with my green layer but apart from that, it was more or less successful. Definitely not my best stencil to date. I was hoping to get a bit of play with the perspective by making the can bigger but think I would need something else to place the two items in space.
Layers were: Figure - green, black, grey, white
Can - grey, black, chrome

Week 6
This is my 6 layer stencil and surprisingly, it's probably my most successful out of all of them (I thought it was going to be really difficult due to the many layers). I responded to the Volkswagen van done in week 5. It's pretty obvious why; I was sticking with the transport theme. Also, cars and other vehicles seem to work quite well visually because of all the angles and bold shapes in them. I think my colour choice worked well for this one. the grey, white and silver build up, making it look pretty slick. I'm happy with this one.

week 4 & 5
had serious computer/uploading problems. Here is week 4/5.
In week 4 (the colourful eyeball) I chose to respond to the stencil of a heart done in the previous week. I thought the use of body parts as a subject for a stencil was interesting and unusual, introducing a more abstract approach to stencil art as many are satirical and in some ways political. So I decided to do something a bit different. I also thought the flat diagram of the eye had some interesting shapes. If I was to improve this one I would probably use more realistic colours - these ones are a little bit random.
For week 5 (the face) I responded to the stencil of the girl with a tongue full of tentacles. I thought it was really quirky and cute so I decided to do one of a girl with an egg on her face. Technical errors got the better of me in this one as I cut out parts of the stencil incorrectly. I think this would look a lot better with more layers as I would have been able to include more detail in the facial features and give more definition to the egg. However, it wasn't a complete failure!

week 5 Dan
Stencil 5 - Nick
In Grohl We Trust - This week I was responding to all the pop icons and superheros that have been coming up in the designs. I thought about who I would consider a modern day hero. When I searched images of Dave Grohl there were lots with him looking a little like Jesus with his long hair an' all. So I played on this. The stencil turned out pretty good, though I dont know if I like the purple and I would have liked a little more time to allow the paint to dry properly between layers.
week 2
Due to photo uploading problems I am uploading week 2 now. A bit late, sorry.
In this week I responded to the squid stencil sprayed in week one. Sea creatures work really well because they have lots of scales or segments which allows you to pay lots of attention to detail and the more detailed stencils are, the better they look aesthetically.

week 5
Emily - Stencils 4 and 5
i had problems uploading my photo from week 4, but here it is.
'the joker' is the 4 layer, the top layer didnt work out the way i wanted, i accidentally sprayed it the wrong way. oops! but i think it still looks ok.
The 5 layer is the Kombie van (more transport!), which i think is my best yet.. although the silver layer doesn't stand out much, which is a shame.
i think it works because of its simplicity which i've learned are usually the most effective stencils.
