stencil painting is a fun public art form and there are some clever examples in and around amsterdam. i wanted to play with the technique but i couldn't bring myself around to spray painting city property. it would just be my luck to get busted with a spray can! i tore off layers of posters from public spaces and made small paintings and adhered woodcut prints on japanese paper. got bored with it quickly but it was fun while it lasted. the italian artist mimmo rotella did it back in the '60's.
