Free Burma Stencil

Rich writes: "I've created a source for stencil images of marching monks to support the 'Saffron Revolution' in Burma, at the suggestion of a friend who has been living on the Thai-Burma border with student rebels for many years. I made it simple so it's easy to use."
More designs forthcoming at Saffron Revolution Worldwide. For background information on the situation in Burma, see the Free Burma Coalition.
Paper Politics in Milwaukee

Brandon Bauer sent in these photos from the Paper Politics show which recently hit Milwaukee. PP is a massive group show (usually representing 150+ artists) which has previously toured in Seattle, Brooklyn, and Portland. From the show description:
Paper Politics presents a breathtaking tour of the many modalities of printing: relief, intaglio, lithography, silkscreen, collagraph, monotype, photography. In addition to these techniques, we are delighted to include in the show finely crafted stencils and street printing, traditional media used to convey political thought.
