Boring H+M hoodie that everyone has
+ listening to too much Dresden Dolls
+ stencil that took forever to make with a damn blunt craft knife
+ black paint

So yeah, this is the big wide picture, (sorry 'bout that) it shows the whole thing. I'm not sure how easy to read it is, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I ironed it pretty fervently.

And now the break down of the individual words (and half words)



So I spent forever drawing all these letters in a big long line on a stencil, well, two stencils, "Girl" was one and "Anachronism" was another, hence I stencilled the "I" from the first word onto the second word and cut the same letter out twice... if you catch my meaning. I don't think I do. I copied little flourishes from various different kinds of letters and calligraphies, really, so it looks a little messy, but hopefully the good kind of messy.



Why is that one A upside down? I have no idea. Because I thought it was cool at the time?



And that is that! I considered doing the song Ghost Town by The Specials instead, only writing it across the back and adding a little pacman ghost or something, but then I consulted a Dresden Dolls listener first, so I went this way. And it meant that I invented the world's most infuriating font.

I'm toying with the idea of making a little black bow and sticking it on the hood, but I am still undecided as of yet.
