Poster Stencil

April 1st, 2010

Sten & Lex developed this technique to make Poster Stencil art. First they make the stencils and paste them on a panel of wood as a poster. Then they paint the whole board black, when it’s dry they remove the stencil but leave some parts on the board. In the end the stencil is destroyed and becomes part of the poster.
