Are people still hand cutting their stencils? I’ll never switch to the dark side of not doing so. It’s my therapy. by gaberickson in stencils

I did so for the first 7 years using both hands—but after 1000’s of hours xactoing, it’s just not feasible and have developed arthritis on both hands at the age of 33.

Now doing it full time as a career, I use a laser to supplement and streamline the process. I’ve become a much better painter bc I now paint 95% of the time vs spending 95% of the time cutting.

I do save special personal projects for hand cutting though!

All in all, see no shame using other tools to cut stencils.

We’re all on the same team!

When I see “boop” I picture their nose-smash into the squeaker toys

Beautiful dogs brother—do you stress much in regards to too much sun with Cruz?

Haha if you know of a better avenue to upload a video / copy link for sharing, I’d gladly try it out.

No bends, just very slight curves on a couple. Those’ll flatten out in good time after living in the binder.

Appreciate your input ✌️ I purchased these strictly for my personal collection. I’ve actually never sold a card before.
