Most of his stuff is designed on Illustrator, but he does a lot of stuff by hand as well (for exhibitions).
For a stencil you still have to cut your stencils by hand, and this is a real pain...

been following/collecting his work for ages and to be honest hes really fallen off over the past couple of years, recent output tends to either super obvious or just plain badly executed

this is worth a watch as well, speaks volumes... http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/14/street-ar ... tmz-on-tv/

his works on canvas cost at least five figures, btw

Most of his work that I've seen just apes left wing propaganda posters from the last few decades... yea they look good but he's a bit cheeky, it's just a little vain really, seeing as these posters were for the most part made for building movements and not to make cash for anyone.

Yeah i prefer his propaganda works yet its not his work he just put a twist on these famous images.

He's still a good artist looking to buy one of the prints on his duality of humanity series

Seen those three originals going for 15k on ebay big money haha
