Stencil graffiti subculture has been around for the last thirty years. Artists such as Banksy, John Fekner and Jef Aresol are famous stencil graffiti artists. Stencilling is an easy method to produce a political message. Many artists appreciate the publicity that their artwork can receive. Some just want their work to be seen. Since the stencil stays uniform throughout its use, it is easier for an artist to quickly replicate what could be a complicated piece at a very quick rate, when compared to other conventional tagging methods.
Over the years this form of graffiti has become a worldwide subculture. The members are linked through the Internet and the images spray-painted on the urban canvas they place throughout the world. Many of its members connect through blogs and websites that are specifically built to display works, get feedback on posted works, and receive news of what is going on in the world of stencil graffiti.
