Melbourne Stencil Style

People are always talk about Melbourne's Stencil Style with such surprise. It is that old attitude of the BourneCity crew that there was always somewhere else doing the same thing as us, but better, or before us. BourneCity may not have been first on the stencil map, but it sure has taken lead in so many areas of the culture. From the creative and diverse forms which the art-form has taken on, to the cultural acceptance of the practice, to the rise of the practice in less traditional formats, be it on canvas, in galleries, in t-shirts. The original use of stencils as a form of street art, as a tool of various political resistance movements, as a message to the people or simply to just 'get-up' is a thing of the past. BourneCity now embraces the many that take part.
