Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Charles and Ray Eames. Bjork and Matthew Barney. Synergistic unions resulting in creative genius. And now Stencil1 stencils meet Stained by Sharpie Fabric Markers! I am so happy that Sharpie has released these fabric markers, they are ideal for t-shirt making as well as customizing all sorts of other apparel. I brought these new markers to the book launch party for my new book Stencil 201 so that attendees could make something. I cut up some canvas into patches and let the crowd loose! Check out the video, I think you’ll see people had such a fun time with the stencils and the new markers! Thanks Sharpie for making this event such an ease!

One thing I have learned in working for myself and creating my own company is to not think you can do it all. Learning to trust other creatives with your “baby” is a very important thing. This new stop motion video by Little Aaron and Friends just way exceeded my expectations. This team of animators created such a fun piece to simply demonstrate what’s in Stencil 201 and what can you do with it. I love the style, art student meets DIY – what could be more fitting for Stencil1! I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks Little Aaron & Friends!
My trip to San Francisco would not be as complete if I didn’t get to do this event at the Curiosity Shoppe. I love this shop! It has the most select, thought-out designer gifts. The owners, Lauren and Derek, are also guests in my new book Stencil 201, in which they show us a tasteful way to stencil grasscloth for use as placemats.
Well, the event coincided with a holiday street fair in the Mission so we had plenty of visitors who got to MAKE SOMETHING.
Some used Stained by Sharpie Fabric Markers to make canvas patches…Others used Clearsnap’s Colorbox pigment Ink Pads to make wooden postcards.
An added bonus was I got to finally meet a legend in the DIY world who I had emailed with for years – Grace Hawthorne, one of the founders of Readymade Magazine!Her new venture, Paper Punk, is well worth checking out, talk about a customized building experience!
And so the night was a sweet success, the only thing sweeter were these stenciled cookies by Sumner & Co, aka A Baker in Brooklyn, aka Christian Sumner is also a guest in Stencil 201 and shows y’all how to do it!
In 1995, I interned at the SFMOMA. The museum was just built and I color corrected images in their digital lab among other things. I was thrilled just to be a part of the museum! Well, I had a new thrilling time at the SFMOMA when I did a book signing and demo/DIY table! I basically let people from age 3 to 75 try out some Stencil1 stencils from Stencil 201 and they seemed to really enjoy it! We used Clearsnap’s COLORBOX Pigment Ink Pads to stencil wooden postcards and Stained by Sharpie fabric markers to stencil canvas patches. Here’s a few images from the event. Thank you SFMOMA and those who attended, great job!

It’s that fun, sparkley time again, Fashion’s Night Out!
Last year I went to several events, shopped, drank, looked at great clothes, all that fun NY nightlife fashion fun. This year I have done a little early shopping and will be doing more of a Fashion’s Night IN, creating a lot of garments and accessories for my next upcoming book Stencil Style. Some things I will be using are Stained by Sharpie Fabric Markers, Martha Stewart Fine Glitter, Clorox Bleach Pens, and my own Stencil1 Sprayers. Not just t-shirts this time, I’m customizing some huge bangles, a few women’s dress jackets, and men’s ties among other things. Once I get rolling, it tends to become a snowball effect and I want to experiment and see what comes of it. Adding some spray effects to wood bangles, trying combining Martha’s glitter and glass beads for new colors and textures, just getting into it!
The Stencil1 crew stenciled 99 rooms in a new NYC Boutique hotel and in this video Dolinda Meeker (aka DeLo) and I paint the last of the 99 rooms to show you just how we did it! We custom designed three designs – dancing girls, a blues singer, and a taxi in motion- all over 8 feet tall! Hope you enjoy it!
Last night I attended Design on a Dime, a fund raising event held by Housing Works Thrift Shops. I often shop at Housing Works, I have found everything from industrial steel furniture here down to some nice worn in Levis. All proceeds from sales help those living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. Top designers decorated rooms where attendees could shop and the deals were to be had! In attendance were Nate Burkus, Iman, Andy Cohen, Lara Spencer and many other noted designers. I purchased an African woven basket from Iman’s booth as well as some Klipsch headphones which were in her room next to some signed Bowie cd’s! Here are some pictures of the event and some of the things i liked. Enjoy.
