New version of one of the first things I ever did; this one is larger and has extra layers (five.) It's painted on a chinese newspaper I bought in 2004, which is glued to a priority mail box and covered in like 10 coats of clearcoat

Killer. Looks even better than the first one.

well, that's because the first one was pretty lame. you get better at things when you keep doing them for a long time ;) also this one is bigger (it's always better to make things big.)

i did a painting using that old stencil for a friend of mine way back when i first made it, and he's got it hanging in his house. now, i want that piece of shit back because i think it sucks and i don't want people looking at it and thinking i suck, but he won't give it up, the bastard. anyway, one day i'll just take it when he's not looking.

Haha! Yeah, I have a piece from a friend of mine that I absolutely adore, but every time she stops by she cringes because it is not her style any more. She's offered to trade me for one of her current piece, but I won't give it up. Still want one of her new pieces though...

& yes, I know exactly what you mean about doing things for a while & improving greatly. My last stencil piece was leaps & bounds above anything I had done previously, &even then, I learned so much doing it that I feel like the next huge project will be even better.

very cool, if I can ask are these layers stenciled over each other or one base stencil and the rest brushed?

it's all stencils. the first layer is all light grey -> white -> [cheater light grey layer for her eye] -> dark grey -> black.

i try to make all the areas on the lower layers large enough so i'm always covering them with the one on top, that way even if one layer isn't lined up right it'll still look good (or you can just move it a little and spray it again.)

anyway no brushes at all unless you count when i was putting glue on the newspaper.
