exploring potentials of emoticons in stencil decorations… what i love in emoticons is the shift in the letters meaning. in fact, an emoticon is a “coded” txt, in which letters and symbols acquire new meanings. and of course, they are extremely powerful in expressing emotions…
here some imaging. everything is thought to be used as a stencil: straight emoticons have to be cut out from cardboard to stencil straight txts. the curved ones work as a french curve tool, they have to be combined to potentially produce any kind of emoticon curve. stencil experiments >>>coming soon
enjoy ;-)
