"stenciling it somewhere (legally)"

And can we get even more points for stenciling it somewhere illegally? ;)

I will see what I can do about actually painting it somewhere later this week. Could look funky - illustrator drips and overspray along with real drips and overspray.

Christian: Sorry if this is dense after 17 weeks but: where are the winners announced, and what do they get? I look at the retired challenges but I see no final results.

There's no real 'winner' par say. It's more peer consensus and congratulatory remarks for a challenge well done from my understanding.

Good, so nobody has done anything like this yet.

(No points for recognizing what this is based around.)

I want to start my own…

Pieter,
That caketype shirt looks yummy! The overspray reminds me of powdered sugar on that dark shirt. Now you just need some frosting :-)

Last minute entry: This sketch was laying around all week and I forgot to cut the shapes out. So there's no t-shirt or graffiti'ed wall but this is the page with the letters cut out. I want to go use the stencil on something! Time to get some spray paint.
