I’m making a small, 60 or so, page book with the photos of my street art stencils. The stencils feature the #resist hashtag and were done in 2018.
I went to my usual street photography places and put these down right on the sidewalk. Usually in broad daylight and dragging my big folder of stencils and paints. The book itself will have less to do with the process of making them and more to do with sharing them. They’re my response to the apathy that led to Trump and the shallowness of the “it can’t happen here” crowd. Yes, I’m very critical.
Update: October 2024. The books have been made. I’m not totally happy with the cover—specifically, the stencil isn’t fully crisp. I’m also dissatisfied with the content. It’s just photos of the stencils. It lacks the energy that went into making them. Ultimately I attracted the attention of someone who called the cops and haven’t made any since then. I made an edition of 5 and listed them for sale on Etsy here.
