More Stencils

There's some great outdoor wall work posted at the web site "Stencil Revolution."

I particularly like this one, "No Hay Escape" (There is No Escape) by Veggie, both for its virtuosity and its size.

Also noteworthy is this "Child Soldier" by Plugone of Colchester, England.

The great thing about stenciling as a means of political agitation is that people -- the broadest possible public spectrum -- are exposed to the message whether they want to be or not. On a blog the writer ends up mostly preaching to the choir.

The only way to get a wider audience than the one you get with illegal public wall grafitti is to go on t.v. or buy a newspaper page.
