Nice work I like the stencil looks like the Japanese bugs bunny remake style.I like the detail on the eyes too.Like someone said time to take the next step to a airbrush.Don't even mess around wit a crappy one go right to the Iwata eclipse U'll really blow ur mind up wit a airbrush.Whats left of it. an the good thing is no more toxic fumes from the propellents in the paint cans.

I did a couple of mac patterns like that, I got the first 2 ho'ed right outta my hand by a certain painter/fisherman, and he mentioned something about Japanese art, even was mentioning some artists name, and technique! .....
I asked him if whatever he said was Japanese for "Aluminum Foil Stencil"

I like the look, kinda different,... Larry, ever do the freehand with the sharpie, or fine paint brush????

Try holding the stencile a little off the plug. Either that or place something like match sticks on the back of the stencile to raise it up a bit. This will give you more of a fogged look on the edges. If you need to freehand stuff, get a speedball pen and a few tips. Use createx paint (or whatever paint you are using for the rest of the plug) rather than india ink in the pen. You can do lines, dots, signature, etc., in whatever color(s) you need.

Just power up indoors.....no Fumes w/ an airbrush. I just lay out some newspaper and then prop up a piece of foam board as a back stop.

Also grab one of those coupons out of the paper for AC Moores. 40% off and you can also use it at Micheals as they will honor their competitor's coupons.

Even if you don't get one that plug still looks pissah
