			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://abduzeedo.com/beauty-stencil-art">This post</a> is definitely one of the best I&#8217;ve come across in the longest time. This is seriously some of the best work you&#8217;ll see all month, maybe all year. (Of course it hasn&#8217;t been done by one artist alone.. but you get my point.)</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil">Stencil Art-<br />
</a> From wikipedia:</p>
<blockquote><p>Stencils have also become popular for <a title="Graffiti" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti">graffiti</a>, since stencil art using <a title="Aerosol paint" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosol_paint">spray-paint</a> can be produced quickly and easily. These qualities are important for graffiti artists where graffiti is illegal or quasi-legal, depending on the city and stenciling surface. The extensive lettering possible with stencils makes it especially attractive to political artists. For example, the <a title="Anarcho-punk" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-punk">anarcho-punk</a> band <a title="Crass" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crass">Crass</a> used stencils of <a title="Anti-war" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-war">anti-war</a>, <a title="Anarchism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism">anarchist</a>, <a title="Feminism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism">feminist</a> and <a title="Consumerism" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumerism">anti-consumerist</a> messages in a long-term graffiti campaign around the <a title="London Underground" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground">London Underground</a> system and on advertising billboards.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stencil#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup> Also well known for their use of stencil art are <a title="Blek le Rat" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blek_le_Rat">Blek le Rat</a> from France, British artist <a title="Banksy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy">Banksy</a>, New York artist <a title="John Fekner" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fekner">John Fekner</a> and <a title="Shepard Fairey" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_Fairey">Shepard Fairey</a>&#8217;s <a class="mw-redirect" title="OBEY" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBEY">OBEY</a>.</p></blockquote>
