Just check out the local art store and pick up a few sheets of whatever you feel comfortable with getting [/b][/quote] Sounds good cause ive been using colored printer type paper and some of my posters have been peeling on the sides...ya i hand draw all my posters also but i do want to photo copy them just so i dont have to spend so much time on em <_<
Personally, I just find it to be a bit better. I prefer to just sit there all night with a pack of redbull and draw up those posters.. Pretty soon here I am going to be racking an assload of Jumbo sharpie paints, black of course, and doubling the size of that panda. Somewhere around nine feet long and six feet high... I'll post flix when it all comes around
Sharpies are hella good for posters.... Courtesy of Q BOMB KICK ASS RECIPE FOR WHEAT PASTE Ingredients 1 cup of wheat flour 1/2 cup of rice flour 3 teaspoons of cornstarch 2 cups of water Combine wheat flour, rice flour, and water in a pot on the stove on low heat. The mixture should be very watery. Stir the mixture constantly with a wire wisk, perferably a wire wisk, until the paste begins to thicken just a tiny bit. This may take about ten min. Take the pot off the heat when you start to feel the mixture thickening. In a jar with a lid, combine three teaspoons of corn starch with a half a cup of water. Tighten the lid and shake the mixture until there are no lumps of cornstarch visible. Add the cornstarch mixture to the flour mixture and stir for another 2 minutes and BAM! you got some home made super glue....Make sure you stir constantly!!!! h34r: h34r: h34r: h34r:
code sucht, have you ever thought of doing a new design? i mean i love the panda and all, it just seems a little repetative. eh, but what do i know?
For those who wheatpaste i wanted to ask a pro...Brush or Roller? And do you spray the poster with clear acrylic, then paste it? Or Paste it, spray, and let it dry....or paste it, let it dry...and then spray?!? Which one?!?
Another postwhore for me.. My pandas are made in bunches to get them around everywhere. New designs will be made whenever... And read through the old posts for wheatpasting poster directions and advice offered
I already looked for advice...cant somebody just tell me whats better a Brush or Roller? And do you spray the poster with clear acrylic, then paste it? Or Paste it, spray, and let it dry....or paste it, let it dry...and then spray?!? Which one?!?
Personaly i like brushes because its easier to spill some paste on a brush than a roller but when ur doin it big like Code_Sucht and pastin a fuckin huge panda then a roller would probably be better...And you put the acrylic on, let it dry then paste it... h34r: h34r: h34r:
I make the poster, clear coat it with two light layers. Light as in slightly spraying it on but in a mist kinda. I put paste on the wall, stick panda do it, apply paste layer over the top of the panda, wait a few minutes, then clear coat it again just so I can sleep good at night. I use 4 1/2 inch wide brushes but might step it up to muc larger brushes soon enough

are these 1 piece or different pieces stuck together? [/b][/quote] Those are some nice pandas im feelin Limbo's poster to...I feel like a toy in the bombing science world i still dont know how to post pics <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_< <_<
If you upload them to photobucket, you will see something underneith the photos thumbnail that says "URL" Copy that link, and when you go to make a post, you will see something above the space where you are typing, click on the box that says "IMG" and then you backspace all of the mess that is in the space when the box pops up and you right click and paste that link into the space and click ok Then you should be able to post a picture, just mess around with it and you'll get the hang of it.. Thanks for the ups, and I'm liking Limbos too
