Here is a gallery of all my different stencils. Most photographs were taken by myself but some have been found online or received from friends. Click on a photo to see more.

"Trouble"

This stencil was made upon request as a portrait of my good friend's super cool niece. It was made from a photograph with some added doodles. I was given a photograph which was not very high in contrast so I traced the image and drew the rest by hand in order to create this composition.

"Long Live The Troublemakers"

This stencil was designed during the autumn of 2013 but did not find its way to the streets until early 2014. The image is from the Hernandez Brothers comic books Love and Rockets and depicts the two characters Hopey and Maggie. I wanted to create an anti-fascist image which shows both joy and resistance and celebrates the people who risk health and freedom in the struggle against fascism.

"Dear Capitalism..."

A few months ago a friend from Berlin told me about seeing the slogan on the poster on the right and liking it so I looked it up and reworked it a bit to an image from the Hernandez brothers comics again and created this breakup moment. I think it's time to break up with capitalism, it's been going on for too long now and life is short. Enough is enough!

"The Troublemaker"

This stencil is made from the passport photograph of a friend. They kept telling her to look more serious, so she looks really pissed off. And she's a troublemaker.

"Bukowski"

This is a stencil of the legendary author, poet and wonderful bastard Charles Bukowski. It's an unusual photograph of him by Mark Hanauer . Sometimes a put a quote next to him which reads:
"Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead."
It took a long time to cut this stencil and I spent a lot of time manipulating the photo in Photoshop and painting with white acrylic and indian ink to create the bridges and details.

"Just Give Me the Fucking Cookies"

Lucas Papademos was the non-elected prime minister of Greece from November 2011 to May 2012. He formed a coalition government of national unity with PASOK, New Democracy and the far-right, anti-Semitic, racist, homophobic party LAOS. He has previously worked for the Bank of Greece and the European Central Bank. Earlier he worked on the controversial neo-liberal economic theory known as NAIRU. He implemented economic policies aimed at ending the Greek crisis, leaving much of the population in hopeless poverty and at the next elections neo-nazis entered parliament.

Many Greeks didn't like him and the stencil I made resonated surprisingly deeply. It was the second one I made and I was mostly just messing around but it's appeared on blogs and was published and used in a lecture about streetart even. Much of this was beyond my knowledge for a long time.

"The Cookie Monster"

Before I made the Papademos stencil I made this one of the Cookie Monster and the then finance minister of Greece Evangelos Venizelos (now the leader of PASOK, part of the coalition government in Greece). I thought he looked stupid and wondered if he'd make a good stencil. I made a stencil of him and then one of the Cookie Monster but with his body. I figure they both think mostly about cookies. After some time I became tired of Venizelos and put up the Cookie Monster by himself.

"Riots not Diets"

I always liked this slogan and I like Pippi Longstocking. She fights authority and normality. I want the stencil to be against austerity and against beauty and body norms. At these times in Greece, these things must be resisted.

"Self portrait from the Future"

A friend wanted us to make a stencil of a hobo and we looked at some photos and came up with this one. We found the photo online, and I think it's a pretty good representaion of what my future will be like.

I haven't sprayed it much but it's a pretty good three layer stencil which I might dig out of the vaults to put up again. I found this TV and sprayed the stencil on it. I put it up on a wall and 10 minutes later when I passed it it was gone. I hope it found a good home.

"The Black Kitten of Anarchy"

I was offered a kitten from a fresh litter. I received some photos but was not able to take a kitten just then. But I did make a stencil of one of them. The stencil is unfortunately dead but hopefully the kitten is well, and some pieces that I put up are still around.
