How do you make stencils?

Print out the picture you want to stencil. Then put the picture over a piece of cardboard and take an exacto knife to the picture. It's not that hard, just a pain in th ass. But, once you've got the stencil, you can make a lot of patches with it, and if it's good enough. Make a shit ton and sell them.

what do you do once you've got the cardboard stencil?

tape it down to whatever you're printing on, then use a roller or sponge to go over it filling in all the gaps with paint. I use cheap acrylic from a craft shop but you can get proper fabric paints too, or screen printing ink if you want to be extra snazzy. Take the stencil off and leave your patch to dry, then it's done! I made these ones with the sponge method and bits of old t shirt:

haha I remember seeing this when he was doing a live show at wembley and expecting some super heavy HxC band til he came on with his acoustic. Damn good replication, spot on!

cheers mate. Yeah he used to be in a band like that actually, that's probs why it's his logo thingy now, but I love his solo stuff. Was that the Green Day gig?

Yeah, I got into him a few years before when he was gonna play sonipshere but cancelled :/ I heard he used to be a bit of a metalhead! wembely didn't really do him any justice at all though 1) It's a shit venue and 2) Acoustic isn't really suited to a venue of that size haha, kept hearing the reverb louder than the actual songs!
