I'm gonna do a little Steve Jobs here, so let's start off with some statistics:

7,5 - The number of days since I've started cutting.
17.000 - The number of squares I've cut since then; 8500 per canvas.
25-30 - The number of knives I've wasted in the process.
9000< - The number of times I've wanted to give up.

So yeah, another halftone. As far as I know this is the stencil with the highest number of squares and thus detail. Besides that I did it incredibly fast, if I may say so :D

I wanted to try something a little different by putting it on two separate canvases instead of just one 50x100cm canvas. I like the way it worked out.

Hope you like it!

Feel free to check out my other halftones as well:

Edit: Last note.. I forgot who made the original picture. Because of that, I can't credit the person that deserves it. If you recognize the model/picture, please let me know who it is so I can give credit where credit is due. Thanks!

Edit 2: The original picture was by *MissS-Stocks: [link]

This is amazing, love it.
You have inspired me to try one.

I have a few questions:
what steps do you use to turn the image into halftone?
do you cut them with a knife, or use punches?
and did you spray it wit white, or a light grey?
Cheers

Thank you :)

I do not share my exact techniques, but it's not rocket science. I used a knife and it's white, yes.

Over the last 2 or 3 years I've tried all kinds of techniques, but I've found two things to work particularly well to get clean sprays:

1. Plastic/acetate stencils. ALWAYS lay flat. Use spray adhesive if absolutely necessary, but preferably not. Doesn't work on the streets, though.
2. Most importantly: hold the can at +/- 15 cm from the canvas/paper/background/whatever and move the can FUCKING FAST. So every time you pass the same point, you only add very little paint. This prevents paint from bleeding out.
