As Occupy protests spread, we thought what better time to celebrate the art of free speech than with Laurence King Publishing’s brilliant stencil book, Protest Stencil Toolkit by Patrick Thomas.
This clever book examines the graphics of protest while providing an artful way to let off some steam. These are classic symbols from the great protest movements of the twentieth century, as well as new images reflecting contemporary concerns – such as global warming and the environment, and globalization and the economy.
The 46 die-cut stencils are robust enough to be re-used any number of times and in many different situations. Each stencil is perforated so that it can be torn out and used individually.
These are the building blocks of powerful visual statements.
