I'm kind of new to all this, but with a curious mind, some paint and motivation to bring new ideas and images to the world's table. I want to be able to learn these techniques and maybe even improve them eventually for everyone's benefit:)

I was wondering how you make your stencils? I've bought acetate from some local craft stores. What kind of material do you use? I like the overgrown one, the ones I have are small. I'd like to do more significant, larger pieces in public. Help me out...???

A spot secured in the new kingdom? I could dig that.

May your propaganda spread like the plague.

@JAGisDope If using spray adhesive isn't your thing, then simply apply pressure unto the stencil.

I usually place anchors (rocks, paperweights, wrench sockets, etc.) along certain points of the stencil. This will help the stencil material (paper, overhead sheets, cardstock, etc.) stay in place. Then I apply pressure with my hand on the edges of the cut-outs which I'm about to spray, and spray there. As you move along the stencil with the spray can, so too does your hand applying pressure.

Spray adhesive is your answer, just make sure you don't overdo it or your surface will become gunky and unfriendly (why do humans tend to antropomorphize?). Lightly spray the back of the stencil and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. The adhesive should feel tacky at that point, not wet. After that just place it on your surface, and make ensure that the edges of your cut-outs are nicely stuck against the surface then spray away.
