I wanted to show everyone what goes in to making the stencil I use for each painting.
Here are 3 pictures, one is at 8 hours in, one at 16 hours in and the final at 22 hours. Cut with an X-ACTO knife freehand.
Enjoy!!
I am an internationally recognized artist who, through my work, seeks to utilize various harmonies and ideas to visually engage the audience. I also use my art as an opportunity to experiment with the range of possibilities allowed through my choice of materials, spray paint and hand cut stencils.
My work captures spaces of partial or full illumination between the perfect shadows on all sides of a person or an object. The artwork conveys the real beauty of the subject. The viewer is able to appreciate the simplicity, splendor and exquisiteness of my work and the subject. The work is raw, it’s stripped back, it’s honest.
I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.

I love your work. It is also very interesting to get a look at the process you follow. I am particularly interested in artists and their development and achievements. Let’s stay in touch.
Absolutely!
Love your comment about overly-complex ideas and theories.
Hey sir, loved your work.
I have always loved your work! You are truly talented. With those skills, you could’ve been a surgeon 😉
Hahaha. Thank you!
You should double up and sell the stencils when you’re done with them, too. This is absolutely insane. in the greatest way possible.
Beautiful!
Very impressive, beautiful work
Really cool to get to see the behind-the-scenes stuff. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

Super neat! I love paper cuts. Have you ever played with shadow puppetry?
Beautiful!
Beautiful work! The detail is amazing. I’m sure that the person who requested this will be quite pleased.
Ooops… I needed to scroll down a little further to see the cut out. Sorry. Well done 🙂
Amazing! Can’t wait to see the final product!!!!
this is awesome, props man. Freehand at that, a lot of detail.
Amazing!
This is incredible…you must have such patience
Just so awesome…
Wow!
Very nice! My husband is an artist, and people as a general rule have no idea of the hours of development, design and prep work that goes into the finished piece they see. Let alone the idea development and finishing work. You have done a great service to those in the field with this nice little post! Thank you!
How many uses can you get from each stencil?
I only make stencils for one time use. One original painting and limited number or prints 🙂
Are these stencils made of leather? I have a couple of stencils of Indian dancing girls in my living room.

Cardstock is all I use. I make them for one time use only! One original painting and a limited run of prints
Beautiful…
Great job, you got too much of patience 🙂
I get cut almost every time I try to use an X-ACTO knife to even cut open a box! I am amazed by your talent. Thanks for sharing!
