For the January 2014 CHA show in Anaheim, California I debuted my new Stencil line with Plaid.  It was a fantastic show and it’s always fun and inspiring to walk the show and see all the innovative, new products coming out for the art industry.  I was very pleased to meet the guys at the Ironlak booth, a classic spray paint brand out of Australia. They introduced me to their new line – SUGAR. The name alone  got me. The packaging is on point as well – Bold, direct, and spells out all the selling points of this great new spray paint. LOWEST VOC’s in a spray paint. That means happy lungs! The formula is a harvested sugarcane alcohol based acrylic, not petroleum.  So as a stencil artist I love it because it dries super fast.  I visited the booth each day, watching their artists demo the product (yes indoors) and then arranged to get my hands on some cans for  video how-to’s posting to Ulive.com.

Here is a sneak peak at our vintage plate makeover using Stencil1 stencils and Sugar spray paint. Rat stencil soon to be released.  The paint sprays clean and evenly, like a perfect mist and I did the project in my studio (with the window opened). Amazing results.

We are the first to debut this paint and I can’t thank Ironlak enough for the opportunity.  SUGAR is yet to be released in the USA as of this post but as soon as it does, get your hands on it, it’s quality!

STAY TUNED for the full video!

Nikki, our Stencil1 intern, transformed an empty spraycan into a beautiful collectors’ item inspired by a Montana spraypaint can. This spraycan would look great on your shelf next to your cute robot toys and other stencil1 graffiti art!

She started by painting the can black.

Once dry, she stenciled it with our mini spraycan stencil and applied the details by hand.

Lastly, she painted the top green and attached it to the can.
