Author stencils
Recently on BoingBoing, a page with a bunch of printable stencils of speculative fiction luminaries was posted. I looked through them, but noticed that three of my favourite authors weren’t in their collection. Inspired, I decided to create my own.
Download these (click them to view them full-size), print them out, attach the printouts to cardboard, and cut out the black sections. Then go stencil-crazy!

Edited to add: This page is an excellent tutorial on how to stencil clothing using a printer, freezer paper, an iron, and fabric paint.
Also: Chris Sullins has created vector-art versions of these stencils that have smoother edges and look generally better all-around.

I just randomly decided to turn these images into vector art. If you want to use the vector images instead (it’ll cut down on the pixelification, especially on Stross’ stencil), they’re at:

Chris — those look great! I’ll add a link in the body of the post. Thanks.
