Yesterday, Everything Mural + Stenciling +
Yesterday took me on a rather interesting journey. It seemed wherever I turned I was running into stenciling or something to do with stenciling, it was just one of those days when the universe sends you in certain directions ending up in the same place. So I thought I'd share my travels. Early on I had heard about Ace Hotel's , new blog, a delight in itself, but also landed upon these fun kitty and bear murals by artist Morgan Brent Wick in Ace Hotel Portland.
Later I landed over at Stencil1's blog via Etsy's virtual Lab, Craft Night. Ed Roth of Stencil1 was doing a stencil tutorial session. And whilst visiting his blog I again landed back at Ace Hotel NYC where he was commissioned to do artwork in various rooms there. (see below).

And then I came across a whole post about all the murals and stenciling going on at all of the different Ace Hotels across the US. So fun! And now I'm starting to dream of my own. I'm liking the idea of large scale images like this in a room.Below: Shepard Fairey in ACE Seattle.
Here's a few links I found with a few free stencils one could print out and use on walls, shirts, wherever and a video how-to on making you very own.
