The Flower Chucker Stencil


Banksy’s advice on painting with stencils

• “Spray the paint sparingly onto the stencil from a distance of 8 inches”

• “A regular 400ml can of paint will give you up to 50 A4 sized stencils”

• “The easiest way to become invisible is to wear a day-glo vest and carry a transister radio playing Heart FM very loudly”
