All of my life I have loved to do stenciling. In my first years of High School I started to make stencils from pictures as well as some free hand by my own design. This has proven to be a lot of fun!
Lyme Disease has played a huge role in my life, in fact, it nearly ended it. When I was little I felt like an outcast because I couldn't do anything. I was treated as if I was contagious and to be avoided. I made this as a stencil to describe how I felt back then.
This is a stencilized version of a picture of one of my favorite singers. His name is Gackt, he is a Japanese singer/actor. I have found I always have trouble with eyes.
Something about Richard Nixon is just very interesting when it comes to stenciling. A certain amount of distinctiveness as well as a somewhat sinister look.
The idea that his name could be spelled this way and phonetically work as well as being a palindrome seemed really cool to me. The backwards N was sort of a Cold War Communist joke.
This picture of the Ayatollah to me seems really cool. I very much like his look, one of the most distinctive faces of the 20th Century in my opinion.
A simple stencil of me with a minimalist somewhat cartoonish approach to the face. I do enjoy this one
A picture of me from below. The only real recognizable features of mine in my opinion are the shirt and hat.
This stencil of me is my latest official "me" stencil. While it does not bare a huge resemblance to me, something about it I just like.
This is a stencilized version of a very famous picture of a german soldier during WWII. This is one of my favorite photos of the war and though I had to attempt it. I am pleased with the results but again I cannot seem to do eyes that look right to me.
While I am not a huge fan of 300, some of the characters I felt were very stencil worthy.
Xerxes to me was just very visually interesting. So much detail on once person.
This stencil is a little more graphic than most. It is a piece to protest the Crusades, killing of another people hiding behind the will of God. "Thou Shalt Not Kill!"
This one here struck me, I watch a show where one of the characters looks shockingly similar to this man. So I promptly applied my process to make a stencil from it.

This is my response to the Occupy movement. Specifically toward those who went home every night after a day at the park. While I empathize with many issues they must deal with, few of the members really showed the determination it takes to make real change in the world.
Every few months I do a new stencil of myself as I am growing my hair out so it needs more frequent updating.
This is a stencil dedicated to my dear friend Will. He served six tours in Vietnam with the special forces. On his sixth tour he lost his leg trying to defuse a bomb attached to a child. He returned to his country a hated outcast and has been largely ignored by his country ever since. I tried to go for that feeling with this stencil.
