Last thursday I had a conversation over a few strong cocktails with a stencil artist(ill go into the process more next time) that lives in the area and he's willing to give me information about the art and hopefully ill get to know him a bit better through his works and what he wants people to understand. So, him and his friend will potentially provide me with stencil perspectives in small town voices.
Going back to the strong cocktails, i had a hard time concentrating on our conversation but i did get a cocktail napkin scribbled on with ink out of it. i found this napkin in my pocket when i woke up the next morning in the same clothes, diagonally across my bed. Two out of four of the links he gave me worked out and they've actually proven to be pretty interesting.
The first one is more of an informational site, providing artists with a place for posting their works, interacting with viewers/suppliers etc. The site has an online store for urban-art related clothing, which for the most part means graffiti stamped t's. This site, while interesting, definitely seems a lot more main stream than some of the other sites i've been looking at. It's interesting to see how artists interact when their work is exposed, it feels like a wholesome 1950s housewife smoking crack with a black sabbath record on....a little unnatural. anyways, they do updates so heres the site if you're interested:
www.urbnfabrik.com
The second site (StencilRevolution.com) is a less organized discussion board site anyone can join where people discuss images and techniques. This site was a lot more informal and it provides a place for artists just starting out to interact with ones who have been in the game for years.
so i registered .. i'll get to see how friendly the neighborhood is.
