PORTRAITS into graffiti

My little nephew Luke 

 I took the image on his first birthday 

 The stencil is in the center and the Graffiti that has faded over this icy winter is on the right 

This was my first ever attempt  at stenciling and I used household paint and a dishcloth to dab it on !! 

Using spray paint at a later date proved much easier 

 My Friend Tristan 

  I'll be honest I can't remember if I took this image or not but I did take a very similar image  at one of my brothers epic house-parties

 Center image is the outline ( Saving a ton of money on ink but you do have to take care of what you are doing )

 The one on the right has 3 colours in it ( White on original wall , black and grey ) It took 2 stencils to get the different colours

 I bought the spraypaint from Poundland 
They sell everything there

Some Examples of what I have done so far


( INCIDENTALLY THIS IS MY 200th BLOG POST !! WHOOP )


The Idea behind this project was to have all friends and family with my wife and I when we are in the backyard

We are lucky to have friends and relatives from all over the world so we could never have them altogether at once

It is an ongoing project that has taken more hours for me to do than I care to think about 

It is however something I very much enjoy doing and that's why I give so much time to it

 I first thought of the Idea the day we moved into the house

( Yes my landlady has seen it .......Luckily she liked it )
