Many graffiti stencils are very unique. Most are of pop culture icons and reflections of teenage culture. Graffiti stencils work by using paper or cardboard to create an image to reproduce. The image is transferred by using spray paint or roll on paint. Multiple stencils can be used to create shading or depth. The stencil can then be quickly applied to a wall or other flat surface.
Graffiti stencils are used as a method of expression. Unfortunately, they are often used on other people’s property. Why? Sometimes it is to make a political statement. It may be for publicity, as there will be a group of individuals who are aware of who completed the art.
