Alright, so decay: as I've fallen in love with Banksy's 
work, really want to go in the graffiti direction with this project. I particularly like this leopard piece since it has the illusion of it being a positive stencil, as in, it looks like he painted the white outside and not the inside. I decided to make a smoke stack stencil, as seen to the right (to be about 3ft tall). I hope to go to the 13th street tunnel and actually put this design up. I'm gonna have to get some experience with spray paint first, especially for the intended smoke effect.
If this works out at all, I want to see if I can do the same thing onto a piece of sheet metal using muriatic acid and then bleach instead of spray paint (which makes metal rust instantly). That idea is pretty speculative at this point, that's all given that the first part behaves.

Paul, it sounds good but I'm a little worried because I don't hear about any "digital" process here. Don't forget that this is Digital Imaging. Think about how you could use a digital tool.
Hey, this sounds like a cool idea! But it also sounds like a good bit of work... it's important to know your limits. It'd be great if you did pull this off, though. Graffiti is awesome. As is Donkey Kong.
Is it not digital enough to be designed digitally? I understand if you don't think it is, I can at least tweak this idea some, unless anyone has any suggestions how I can modify this idea without abandoning it completely--seeing as I have done a decent amount of the graphic work already. Thanks.
I don't know how I feel about the actual quality of the stencil. I understand that this isn't your final one, but I think having more intricate positive and negative spaces would make it more interesting. Maybe even have a crazy amount of positive/negative stencils. Like a crazy notan graffiti or something. But maybe that's taking it into a direction you don't want. I don't know. I don't think I grasped what concept you're pulling at here. I'm sure its great, so you need to bring the digital image up to par with the idea. Also, if you do the acid thing (which sounds totally awesome btw) - it'll probably end up being cooler than the digital image. And that might be a bad thing?
