Hey crew, just some things I've been working on I thought some of you may be interested in. When I first started airbrushing I was looking everywhere for someone that does custom stencils. Say I design something and want them to cut it for me, and all the prices were outrageous. With that being said, I'm trying to offer the service to those interested for an affordable rate. Im not completely set up yet, hoping by the end of summer I will have a lot more designs ready and available, but Im always willing to design any stencil that you may need. I've also tried to sell my designs to the major companies but no luck so I thought I would just make them affordable for all my friends!!!
One thing I will not do so please do not ask, I WILL NOT reproduce anyone elses stencils (Air Sick, Airtool, etc) they have to be your own design or something I've designed. What I really like to see people do, is take their own photos, and I can design stencils from your photos. I know this don't always work with, say, wildlife and such, but you get the just of it. Im not one to use others artwork for my gain, and I'm not making a ton on these, Im just trying to give a service that I found hard to find at an affordable price. If you have some artwork that you would like a stencil of, and you do have permission from the artist, have him/her contact me personally and then I may be able to do the stencil, but I would rather not do another artists work if we can work something else out.
The material I use is 10 mil, 0.010” thick, semi-rigid coated polyethylene stencil material, I have tested both waterbased and solvent based paints on it with no issues. Non-adhesive material, SSB can withstand a 180° F application temperature, Reusable, safe, non-toxic and recyclable, Resists inks, paints and stains, Coating protects against runs and smears common with plastic stencils. I can make up to a 20" square stencil.
Heres how Im doing the pricing:
If you want the stencil to be all your own, I would charge you a design fee (depending on how long it takes me to design it) and will send you a Certificate of Authenticity stating that you are the soul proprietor of the image. If you do not wish to own the copyright to the stencil, I will be reselling the design I made and that's how Im able to make this work as most people do not care to own the design. I do make exceptions, if you are having me design a personal logo, I WILL NOT sell it to anyone else if it has your name or company name on it.
Stencils already designed:
Anything below 6" x 12" is $10 US currency plus shipping
6" x 12" (License plate size) $10.00 US currency plus shipping
8.5" x 11" (Standard US Size) $12.00 US currency plus shipping
Custom Designed Stencils:
Anything below the 6" x 12" is .25 cents a square inch and the same design fees apply as mentioned above
6" x 12" (License plate size) $20.00 US currency plus shipping unless you want the copyright to it
8.5" x 11" (Standard US Size) $25.00 US currency plus shipping unless you want the copyright to it
Anything Larger than the 8.5" x 11" will be .20 per Square Inch. So for example, a 15" x 15" would run $45.00 plus shipping. To figure how many square inches you are needing, multiply the width by the length, in this case 15x15=225sq inches then multiply that by .20 for the total of $45. I always round up to the nearest $5. If you have any questions on this just let me know.
I will not make a stencil of another artists work without their permission so please don't ask me to.
If you have drawn up your own design and want me to reproduce it, then I will charge a fee for the vectorizing and for the stencil material but the design must be done on white paper and the drawing must be in black sharpie!
Still setting all this up so be patient and if you have any ideas or concerns please feel free to voice them. If you don't want to voice them publicly, send me a private message!!
Hopefully theres no typos in this,
.
As stated above, Im not making much off of this just trying to supply a service that's affordable to those that need it!!
Thanks for checking the thread out and holler with any questions.
