Getting clean lines is mostly about spray control. We do have imported female caps for big projects. Too bad I could not sell ‘em because I’m low on stock myself.

Hi Bang Dollah,
My name is Sani and i would be grateful if you could assist me in drawing up a caricature of a lady(photo will be provided). I would like to present it to her as a birthday gift. I have seen your works and i must say that you’re a great artist. May I know when is your next roaming event or setting up of a drawing booth so that I can look for you? Or would you prefer I contact you on your mobile? Your kind reply is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Very impressed with your entries about stencil art and legal graffiti walls in Singapore. I am from Melbourne where stencil art has a dedicated following and there is even a Melbourne Stencil Festival. I also write a blog Melbourne Art & Culture Critic: http://melbourneartcritic.wordpress.com and I am keen to learn more and write about stencil art in Singapore.
