In a world saturated with high priced corporate imagery, beyond just having a charming aesthetic, the stencil is a cheap and effective way for an artist or activist to put their work in front of the public and level the playing field.
The idea of using the urban landscape as a canvas remains constant. if you want to get your point across there's only one way to do it: get your message to where the public can see it. Poster, sticker, stencil and cover the streets, signs, walls and whatever else is out there.

This new radical form of dissemination is becoming more popular. The stencil combined with other sticker and poster styles, form the groundwork for a new frame of thought and information experience.
