There's currently an organized plague going on in /po/ from people who want to talk about, share, and create stencils. There's usually at least one thread related to this on the front page of /po/.
Since the number of users that are posting this material seem to be quite a few, I would like to propose creating a stencil image board sometime in the near future.
All of you who are interested in having this board from /po/ can respond here and also if you want to put more than just wanting this board, then feel free to give your own two cents about this situation.
i take art classes which require me to have stencils of many different types, a stencil board would cater to my needs, i go blank when i try to think of stencils, this would help me, and the growing "tagging" deal going on. i dont really understand the whole"im going to go paint a wall" thing, but if they like it, fine by me.
OP here. That's actually a really good reason for the board. I don't think many people realize that when one of us art students ask for help with homework, we're really just asking for some ideas because our minds go blank.
It would also be a great way to help figure out possibilities while learning a new art form.
Aggred, it's me doing the stencil posting most of the time anyways.

This sounds like a great idea since I too am an art student. Most defenetly. Plus stencils are more easier to create than papercrafts so pleanty of people can contribute to creating and innovating diferent styles.
So I'm pro stencil board!

Even a sticky for stencils would rock until a board is up.

I'm a lurker in /po/, and I am also pro-stencils, anti-bitching. In other words, yes, please make a seperate board or a sticky or something so we can have cool stencils and less bitching from trolls (I wish).
Or, 'officially' expand /po/ to include stencils.

Definitely pro stencil board, as it would make browsing /po/ more comfortable and if one needed a stencil he knew where he could turn to.
please have a stensil board so there wont be so many of those post in /po!

I would also sign onto the idea of a stencil board, as the threads that are cluttering /po/ aren't really related to papercraft or origami.
Plus, stencils have a lot of potential, were there a board dedicated to them there would be more attention drawn to them, and thusly a greater artistic boom in stencils.
In other words, fukken signed.

Stencil/Street Art sounds good. That's been one of the things on my mind with stencils anyway. I just couldn't put it into words. Thanks for doing it for me, Anonymous.

signed on stencil/street art board aswell, so i take it when you mean street art your implying graff (would random tags be accepted? because im a hater of all those cunts that do shit little onelinedubs on all the walls),big wildstyles and murals, stickers, wheatpastes, and installation art? or just specifically anything found on the street?

The stencils would be great for me since I'm going to make t-shirts and stuff using them.
That's a good point to bring up about street art. For the most part it will probably be grafiti and murals, but there are a lot of other things that street art can imply that I don't think were originally intended, so we might have to think up a better explanation for the street art part. I didn't even think about installation art, and I'm an artist. >_<
So now I guess the next question for everyone coming here is what do you want with the street art part of /stencil/streetart/? What do you think will stay alongside the stencil board, and what would be too diverse and different, if anything?

I think its a good idea as well, but not just as stencils. It should be a vector/ resource based board for stencils, templates, and other general things of that nature.

drop the street art/graffiti and just keep the stencils and resources

but, please make sure that /po/ remains papercraft only, and does not become a stencil board, as there are many more english resources available (to those looking for stencils) than there are for papercrafts. :(
True. That's why I'm currently translating the Japanese from time to time just to help people with the papercrafts. And there's that Origami for the Connoisseur translation from Spanish to English right now, too. I can read Spanish, but I don't know Japanese other than a few kanji and kana. After that, I have to use a dictionary.
The only other board where I see such a need for translation is the Foreign Language text board, and that's supposed to be there.
Oh yeah, to add on to my previous post, I know we can't make the board now because we need to expand to meet the demands on the servers, but I think everyone that's posted here would like for it to be kept in mind for the future.
And seeing how the /not videogames/ board keeps getting requested, I think it would be nice to be one of the introductory boards along with it.

There's a stencil board right here waiting for people to use.. Also they got street art & regular graffiti sections too:
Because it's not on 4chan. I have 2 imageboards and 2 discussion boards I go to on a regular basis here, and going out of my way to go to just one board on another website doesn't seem like anything I would do anytime soon.

I think it would be more fit to make a stencil booru. Something like that would make much easier to find the stencil you want.
