A BIG thanks to Taya and Whimsy cakes for their AWESOME help with stenciling. Never did it before.
It's a PAIN IN THE NECK to do it on a topsy turvy, but I managed. =)

Can anyone ID the Artist or Artists?
This piece is to object to the selling of furs.
The huge beams in the lobby of Lake Quinault Lodge are decorated with stencil art. I would like to know more about it. For example, what was the inspiration for the human images? Is there a way of seeing them as anything but a tired stereotype of the Native American seen through European eyes? How would descendants of the original inhabitants of the land perceive them?
In any case, here's a fine piece of travel writing from 1995 about Lake Quinault Lodge that's a contrast to the just-the-facts style of Wikipedia:
At Lake Quinault Lodge, your link to the world is a window. Your room looks out on a lawn that sways down to the lake, a swath of green interrupted only by a game of badminton, the shuttlecock fluttering through the shadow of pine-pocked peaks of Olympic National Park. There are no telephones, no televisions in the guest rooms. They are sparsely decorated, not very comfortable or especially quiet. The term rustic is kind.
The lodge demands that you look out the window and see an otter slipping into the lake. Or a couple, married for decades, soaring on swings down at the playground. The lodge insists that you leave your room. Come to the lobby and talk to other guests.
Built in 1926, the lodge has history without being stuffy and a sense of place without being pushy. “There’s more elk here than people,” said general manager Russell Steele, a Centralia, Wash., native who fled city hotels in Seattle and New Mexico for the Quinault land of elks and lakes.
Scraped trunks on massive Douglas firs are a hint that the Roosevelt elk, a shy and noble animal, visited the Quinault rain forest. These elk are named for Theodore Roosevelt, whose younger cousin left his own mark on the vivid woods. Here, the distinctive lodge was built on a gentle slope where Cascade Creek gurgles into Lake Quinault.
Funded by Hoquiam lumber tycoon Ralph Emerson, the lodge was built in 10 weeks 69 summers ago. The design, a Georgian style with Craftsman touches, Tudor motifs and pure Quinault details, was by Joseph L. Skoog. A Seattle native, trained at the University of Washington, Skoog did work on such diverse designs as Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theater and Hoquiam’s Emerson Hotel.
“The whole affair was pretty much a rush job,” Skoog said in a 1983 interview. “The plans took two weeks to draw, then we worked day and night and weekends.”
From the Grays Harbor area, plus Tacoma and Seattle, came crafts people and artisans who embellished the lodge with medallions and double-hung sashes and small bay windows. Rising 1-1/2 stories at the lodge’s heart is a superb lobby. The vertical-grain fir beams are adorned with stencils of Quinault Indian design - dogs and ducks, deer and dancers, wolves and bears and firestarters.
A massive stone fireplace burns alder logs, warming and illuminating the shadowy room. The lobby has big wicker chairs for guests to sink into their freshly found roles as tourists. There are writing tables, looking out on the lawn and the lake, for composing your thoughts and sending post cards.
The lodge is swell for couples. The serene setting and a lack of golf force people to pay attention to each other. It’s not a great place for kids, who tend to sink into the wicker chairs, roll their eyes and wonder how they got stuck in a place without TV.

I first started photographing graffiti in 1999, and in 2000 I setup a website to share my photos. Initially a mix of different subjects, but it soon became almost entirely of graffiti. I uploaded over 6000 photos to this site. Eventually Flickr came along a few years later and I started using that instead, and stopped updating the website. I shut it down completely a few years ago.
I occasionally get requests from people for photos of pieces by specific graffiti writers, and I thought it might be a good idea to upload them all to Flickr.
Most of these photos were taken on film, scanned, and saved at a small size, back in the day when people were still using 56k modems to connect to the internet and small filesizes were desirable. So apologies for the quality and size for some of these. Someday I'd like to get them all scanned in again at a higher resolution.

Completed this cake at a course I did today run by Faye Cahill. Although it was only a Basics course I learnt a lot of tips and tricks, and I also got to have a go at stenciling, which I haven't done before. I must say, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be!!!!! Don't look too close! And don't get too excited about the flower - I didn't make it! I thought it needed something extra and Faye kindly found a spare for me! :-)
I made this stencil using a clear sheet of plastic and black paint. Then, in the darkroom I made a print, then laid the stencil onto the photo paper and exposed the paper again. But, I dogged half of the paper, creating this effect.
Another thing I figured out, if you stare at this about 3-4 feet away from your computer, then there is kind of an optical illusion...

This was stenciled onto the wall outside the Captain America restaurant in Cork. It's really well done, and I love the style. Nice signature too.
Kudos to the creator.
