we are not amused......THE MAKING!, by LEVI C on Aug 13, 2008 21:06:25 GMT 1, thanks for the comments guys! I've made a few adjustments so ready to do a finished one. I'm waiting for some A2 acitate so I can go and stick one on the street. It is a few stencils so will take a while, but i've got permission on a wall right opposite Banksy's 'Mild Mild West'. woohoo! i can't wait, I'll put a pic on here when it's done.
Very eager to get my next piece on here. Title is: LOSERS. will be done in next couple of days. Cheers

we are not amused......THE MAKING!, by LEVI C on Oct 13, 2008 9:00:43 GMT 1, Hellooo fellow, forum fiddling fiends!
I gave my Queen a neck job. I think I have looked at it too much, I can't tell if it is an improvement or not. I flipped the stencils over to try and put her head on the same angle as the hoodie. A very suttle change but I think it helps. I'd appreciate any comments.
I'm dropping this one off at the Tobacco Factory in Bristol tonight for the upcoming 'UpFest' on Sunday!
Thanks again!

we are not amused......THE MAKING!, by GVD on Oct 13, 2008 16:43:56 GMT 1, Already looks better but I think you should change the to op the hoodie part a bit, I think that's were the problem lies, its now slighty angled. I think you should trim the right part a bit and add some more white at the left side. I would skecth it out if I could but I'm on my iPod now haha
Hope that helps,
See ya at upfest!

There's no way I am going to try it later as i'll probably mess it up (I have an awfull track record of last minute amendments!) and be up all night doing another for upfest. Thanks for your comment, I will sort it for the next one!

we are not amused......THE MAKING!, by LEVI C on Oct 27, 2008 0:00:03 GMT 1, Just thought i'd stick up a pic of these i've been working on.
She went down well at upfest, 6 went I think at 300 each. They are editions of 10 so I believe have 2 left in case people are interested, drop me a message.
Cheers

we are not amused......THE MAKING!, by LEVI C on Dec 13, 2008 2:01:32 GMT 1, Hello Fine Forum!
To celebrate my new Canon SLR, i thought iโd take some progress snaps of a couple of queens i need to do. One is a unique commission with blue in the flowers and the other is the first of the next (and last) edition of 10. (Sorry Dan, will do yours over weekend, need turquoise first)
I actually made a mistake right at the start with this one. Even though I weighted it down with cans and coins, it still came out with too much over spray because the stencil has been used too much.
. Repair job already, thatโs not good. I blacked over the over spray and left some white for easy placement of the stencil next time.
In order to get a tighter spray I could either peel the paint off the stencils, which I should do about every 4 sprays to avoid the slight curl on the edges, or the layer I just sprayed should be enough weight while its still wet.
Stick on a flower thrower and first layer of face
Face needs to be really sharp, so each layer needs a lot of paint sprayed from a distance.
Then just the final black layer of the face, then the white in her left eye
So that leaves just the side of the hood, the flowers on the Banksy and a good tidy session and they are done.
That was about 19 layers all up, took about 4 hours and probably another 1 hour tomorrow for the flowers and tidy up. I spend a good 40 minutes just tidying them up and only use spraypaint. I donโt know why but I feel touching it up with acrylics would be cheating.
Thanks for looking and Iโll pop a last pic up tomorrow when done the flowers. The grey one is a new edition of 10 and is available to forum members before it goes out for exhibition pm me for details etc.
Cheers
