| Hand cut stencils are the way this entire Job rolled out. |
The client's brief was 40 white T shirts to be printed with two colours on the front
{gold and mid blue} This is the stencil with only the mid blue section cut out.

| A reverse of the hand cut stencil. I used a 250 gsm paper to cut out all of the three designs. |

 |
| Ahh the joy of hand cutting letters out!! |
 |
| On reflection, I did not realise at the time I would be also cutting out the insides of the letters. |
A great reason to include this job on my blog for the next time I decide to hand cut letters out. The main reason is that the client run out of time to get the screens exposed and I had no choice but to do everything by hand. Yes challenging but not impossible.

 |
| The colour swatches given to I could match them by eye. |

| Back of the tee shirts, Centered. |
 |
| Mid blue first colour printed on the front, centered. |
 |
| Gold Halo second colour, registered and printed on front. |
The client was very happy with the overall job and also with the fast turn around time. It took me about four days to complete the job and delivered the T shirts in time for the guys to drive down to Adelaide. There is something raw and painterly about hand cut stencils, I do like the imperfect line and I think it adds to the overall drawn feel of the artwork. Im also glad that my hands are still steady enough to use a scalpel for as long as I have had to for this job.
A very good cause "The Emmanuel Youth" I was happy to be approached to produce the work.
