Looks like Pynchon is having a moment. #pynchon #lot49 #iykyk

This one is for Jimmy Kimmel and anyone else who feels afraid to freely speak.

One of the funniest things I ever saw at #burningman was a gift: a guy had a trash bag full of free lighters. Thing was, he had taped tiny USA flags on toothpicks to the lighters. First light was burning the flag. I laughed when I burned mine, and still laugh thinking about the whole memory #flags

In San Francisco's Castro District.

"USA Funds Genocide" Stencils spotted in Ashland, Oregon

Awesome hand-made #stencil tee on Dolores St. #sanfrancisco, during today's massive #NoKings procession to Civic Center here in San Francisco. #protest #antifa

Click the pic to see a stitched up photo of all of the Stencilada exhibit and the CELL Metal Mural from around 2009. This storied arts collective warehouse got torn down. They were hoping for market rate condos, but the community got low income housing! #stencils #sanfrancisco #streetart

CELLspace PopUp! A slice of 2050 Bryant St. gonna be up for a month starting late August at the Midway Art Gallery. I'll keep bugging you about it in the coming weeks....

Meanwhile, in the crosswalk at the US immigration building in the Financial District of San Francisco...

A recent trip to Hollywood was mostly full of advertisement stencils. I did find a few gems, and this Star Wars Jedi/Rebel Alliance logo mash up was a surprise. I can only speculate what FV means, but in the case of May the Fourth... F..k Vader fits! #maythefourth #starwars #jedi #hollywood

Snapped this one a few weeks ago, and it is still running. On Kearny at Pine diagonal from the 555 California skyscraper. Someone regulalry wandering through this area with anti-fascist stickers, posters, and stencils.....

Caught the #freakytales movie last night at the Balboa Theater. It is filled with Oakland/East Bay 1980s vibes, and includes a high body count of bleeding/dead fascists. When 924 Gilman Space voted to beat some skinhead ass, I had to raise my hand in support. #oakland #antifa #movies

caught this in SF's Chinatown last week, and found a different poster a few blocks later. Wandered down Grant Street several days after snapping this pic, and posters were buffed. I guess the political stuff doesn't run.... #stencil #wheatpaste #buff

Caught this roller piece on the sidewalk outside of my activist day job... rolled down fm Grant, past Kearny, and off the curb 100ish feet away. It is a phrase artist Zara Thrustra uses, but they denied doing this. A few hours later, the buff was on with pressure washers.... #stopmen #graffiti

A local in Hayes Valley must've wanted to help folks at Patricia's Green realize that the green strip is indeed what the words say it is. Kinda like the "Look" with arrows stencil that DPT paints around the City. Stay safe out there! #DIY #stencil #bicycles #pedestrians #sanfrancisco

flip a coin? flip a #sticker! Just remembered I made this one in 2007. Once again, the 2-in-1 idea inspired by Mad. #madmagazine #art #create #destroy

Snapped this pic years ago during a march in #SanFrancisco #missiondistrict . #nooneillegal . Check out more protest stencils here: www.stencilarchive.org/archives/san... #stencil #protest

Always good to remember where we stand! From Poland, an early submission to Stencil Archive around 20 years ago. One of the more interesting #ANTIFA stencils on the site. BTW, a simple search of "ANTIFA" will get most of stencils listed in results.... www.stencilarchive.org/sites/defaul...

"Abolish Australia Day" Stencils seen around Naarm/Melbourne

Fresh stencil pic, snapped at yesterday's rally in front of San Francisco City Hall. Hand-made stencils on protest signs always fun to catch. Stencil Archive even has a special archive for these pics, gathering images from across the City.

Twin Peaks, Pt. 8: Peak TV and peak David Lynch. This one is for you, David. May all the gates of the Bardo be open for you!

As we head towards 1/20.... always good to remember your recent history and where things stand re the quality of character walking the halls at 1600 Penn. Ave. in DC.

Upper Haight (Haight-Ashbury), late last year. www.stencilarchive.org/sites/defaul...

So much empty office/retail space in San Francisco (and probably elsewhere in the world). Also thinking of Berlin while reposting this ~10 year old image. Imagine if the corporate landlords gave up all the empty floors in SF.... so many creative possibilities!

Need a break from the holiday? Wander over to Stencil Archive, where 1000s of images and links await. A stress-free way to take a break! www.stencilarchive.org/content/not-...

Wintertime in the Banksy universe (not my photo, from 2022) Stay warm this solstice.

keeping it trendy: stencil of Jack Kerouac typing out "read more books" in Knoxville, TN (and Jack gets the classic mustache tag as a troll lol)

Not sure how the algorithm works on here, but I'm getting a lot of posts about books. I love to read, the library is my hang out spot, and sometimes stencils in the streets drop a message....

The late Michael Roman had a distinct graphic style. With simple lines, these #zapatistas give hard stares to the viewer. #stencil #streetart #missiondistrict #sanfrancisco

Stencils frequently show up in various media. There are some famous stencils in movies, TV, documentaries, ads, etc. that the average viewer doesn't catch or register. They sometimes are on screen for seconds. Here's one from the TV series Lost that may be familiar to recent Netflix bingers.

Not a stencil, but an early stencil for me. The idea for the cut-it-out mini-sticker was 100% inspired by MAD magazine. I though it was funny to do, and a 2-in-1 deal.

Not my photo, but a funny one: a photo of "stencil", a painted stencil created by cutting a stencil. This is from The Netherlands, so the wordplay probably not as humorous in Dutch. :P

Another vintage #stencil from the streets of #sanfrancisco. This one was snapped in 1999. Don't get trapped, dismantle it! #mice know the score :) #streetart

#bicycles forever! I've cut a few bike stencils over the years, but this one showed up on a slow street in SF's #upperhaight (#haightashbury) neighborhood. #stencil #streetart #sanfrancisco

Why not start things out with a nice one from the streets of #sanfrancisco, way back around 2000. #monkeywrench #stencil #streetart #radical
