Não está perfeito porque ainda sou uma principiante neste tipo de arte, mas acho que ficou bom!

I love how clean this spray of the stencil came out, it's my second time doing it after my last attempt resulted in so much paint bleed that I sanded it down and started over. But this time around I overcompensated and used far too much spray adhesive on the stencil before placing it, and it left a bunch of sticky residue that's discoloring the background slightly. Is it possible to remove this residue without lifting the paint of the stencil? Unfortunately some of the residue is underneath the gold paint.

As a teenager I was really into tagging and graffiti, but I slowly stopped tagging as much as I grew up. Well now I'm 27 years old, and my girlfriend has been pushing me to get back into graffiti after I showed her some pictures of my old stuff from high school. This time around, however, I've been mostly using stencils because I like the aesthetics. I've been making them myself by making the designs on my laptop, then printing them on card stock and cutting them into usable stencils. It's been fun, and I've been putting cool art all over my city.

Well the other day I turned William Z. Foster's mugshot into a stencil, and I decided I was gonna make some art with it instead of just spraying it on a wall. Foster is one of my biggest political influences.

A guy I organize with writes for Labor Notes, so I figured I'd modge podge an issue of the newspaper he gave me as the base for the piece. Then I sprayed the stencil and voila! A cool portrait of the GOAT American union organizer!

Hope you guys like it!
