I've been working on some big stencil projects lately. Previously I'd just done page-size stencils.
And I like throwing waterballons full of paint off high buildings, paintin' the sidewalk.

Yeah i hear ya i am struggling with money pretty bad at the moment.
No cash flow is making it hard for me to want to do the art projects i have in mind.

Same. I've got a ton of ideas just sitting on paper. Great ones, that I just can't fund. They're not even really expensive, either. To get them all done I'd probably only need 200$.
C'est la vie. They'll happen when they can.

If your not into stealing from stores then you obviously are going to need money for spray paint, Stencil paper, Caps, maybe even a head lamp but that you may be able to dumpster.

Fair enough. But aside from stealing, there is TONS of free art you can do.
Maybe I just have great luck or something, but I have gotten ALL of my art supplies for free.
I have dumpstered HUGE sheets of cardstock paper and this flimsy plastic that is absolutely perfect for stencils.
Last week I found 12 FULL gallon buckets of house paint in some bushes. They are all different colors. I was so stoked looking at a trunk full of free paint!
I dont know, I really hate paying to do art, It should be free, dont let money hold you back.
Stickers are free, you can find stencil material errywhere, and paint is not impossible to get either way.
But yeah, Caps, rollers, brushes, and large copy's are the only thing I would pay for.
But I am still way in to theft and doing all the art I can do for fucking free.

I dig the enthusiasm! I agree that art should be free, i find it kind of fun when i find random materials on the street that i can paint. I picked up a bunch of wood today walking past a construction sight, desided ill find some kind of creative use out of them one night! As far as your finds go, that is really fucking awesome and lucky, if you come up with something cool def take a pic && post it.

For shure, I've been caught too many times. They had me for 9 counts of vandalism. Fought em down to 4 counts and got 180 days so I think its time for me to lay low for a min.

Agreed, vandalism is no joke to the law or at least here in Philly they dont fuck around..charged me with a felony but got my record ex sponged with community service and hefty fines. Well when you decide to get back into it i wish you the best of luck!
