Seems you were right, fair play. Thats a shame though as ive always appreciated the technical side of the Hicks type work even if the content was lacking

Penny - new release!, by Wearology on May 14, 2011 3:34:52 GMT 1, I am confused - I thought Penny cuts his own stencils - he has pictures of his bleeding fingers and zillions of tiny scraps of cut out pieces of paper on his site - who proved their point des77 or leviller?

All of Hicks stencil's were hand cut until 2006/7..until he developed serious eye problems. He was advised to stop. Rather than abandon the form, he developed a new even more interesting style using the laser cutter. I think his laser cut pieces are better art.

Penny - new release!, by 2rart on May 14, 2011 9:02:54 GMT 1, Lol... penny cut the bottom dots of the praying hands.. can you see the three joins? Its a photo into a stencil... The girls face again... not cut.
The image is pre-printed in sections on halftone and then attached together to make the large-scale stencil, which Penny then cuts by hand.
No lazer, no assistants or magic fairies, just hours and hours of cutting (and probably carpal tunnel syndrome eventually)

Penny - new release!, by MGK1 on May 14, 2011 9:23:28 GMT 1, i highly doubt penny uses laser cut stencils there is enough evidence in my opinion to prove he does'nt, apart from enything else it would be very damaging to his reputation if, after saying he cut out all his own stencils, it was found he did'nt
everyone needs to stop bickering and appreciate penny's amazing talent without trying to pick holes in it

Penny - new release!, by wizzy on May 14, 2011 9:33:43 GMT 1, I hear Nick Walker uses aerosols on his work, talk about cheating!, Caravaggio wouldnt do that (or would he?). Its the end product that matters innit?, an Artist can painstakingly go through all kinds of ways to achieve a piece ie. mixing his blues using the snot from a one legged Lesbian Unicorn etc. but if its crap in the end its crap...if its good its good. Ta.

Penny - new release!, by pokodogo on May 14, 2011 12:33:27 GMT 1, I love Penny's work and appreciate the hours he must put in but as certain members have brought doubt into peoples minds then .......
........I think to clear all this confusion whether Penny handcuts them all then a clear precise explaination of the for process for say his latest peices (Prey or Aniqua) should be posted up and the joints that are visable explained.
2rart .... can you oblige with this request in a more detailed manner than the previous post?

I can't prove this, just the same way I can't prove Banksy paints all of his street pieces himself/ or doesn't.
I just know Penny painstakingly cuts every hole by hand because he always complains how long his stencils take to produce! Recently he was asked to create a huge billboard piece for a big UK festival, but due to time constrains had to pull out; when I suggested he could create it with a lazercutter he flatly refused (and sneered a little at me). Lazercutting is also very expensive I think.
As I said before, the stencils are created in sections of paper and joined together, hence the joins.
Penny is due to have his first solo UK show with us in our new space later this year, and as with our last show, I'm sure he will be hanging a few big stencils up so you can come along and see for yourself. They are quite mind-bogling, I agree.
Rook & Raven. Soho. Date TBC ...
And Mr. Wizbong, for sure, if Caravaggio was alive today he would most certainly be using a spraycan (and have an ASBO).

Penny - new release!, by pokodogo on May 14, 2011 16:58:40 GMT 1, A fair enough explaination ...... but why the joins , surely if he was doing a larger scale peice then larger materials could be used so the joint wouldnt be seen.
I think for yourselves as a gallery a clearer explaination of his work and how certain peices are created would be a great addition (perhaps short videos). Just to prove any doubters wrong. Again I think Penny's work is a breath of fresh air and much of his new stuff is a massive step away from what he was doing with the POW print release and much better I must add.

You're obviously an expert at creating large-scale stencils so I'll pass your suggestions along to Penny. I'm sure he wouldn't have thought about buying a ten foot printer. We'll post the 400+ hours of footage of him cutting the next stencil he does as well, YouTube permitting, of course.
Hope that suits you?

logan used to cut everything by hand, but developed serious carpel tunnel syndrone, and so had to move towards a more illustration style, the guy spends hours and hours designing his pieces now.
