Back Stencil
It's almost getting cold over here and I'm going to start wearing my jacket again.
But the back is so empty.
I want a political stencil like the one in the back of my vest:

But I love my jacket more than my vest, so it has to be much more awesome.
So I need help in finding the coolest political stencil ever.

Sorry, the myspace link didn't work on my computer the first time I tried. It worked the second time.
Cool.

I think red would be awesome on the black jacket:
So it depends on what type of statement you are in the mood for, obviously it is pretty permanent. So do you want something that is sort of classic/cliché like?:
Rebel with a cause
-Or-
So, I still vote
Or, do you want something obscure/original?
You could go to a tailor and have something original done. I use a tailor frequently and he is very reasonable.

Couldn't find a larger version of this online, but I've got a larger one on my computer, if you like it.

I once stencilled "D´you wanna see my Bush?" all over a jacket I modified for a girl I know. That was a fun one. But I guess that´s getting both outdated and irrelevant in this case.

I like liusaidh's one, but I want something more graphic.
A heart is too plain. Is there something I could put in while keeping the quote?
That would be perfect!

If you have a pic you like, I could turn it into a graphic in Illustrator for you.

Not exactly a logo, but "Class War" is always good. (Unfortunely there is a zine with that as the title. [A good one.])
Also the black, direct action cat is so wicked awesome. (It is the next tattoo I'm getting but 1. I didn't invent it. 2. You seem very cool, so even if the cat was my original idea, I'd still have suggested it.

The Black Cat?
Nah, I liked the idea of something that fits the quote, so the cat's out of the question. But so is just a plain heart.
I need help in finding a cool political heart, or an idea that has a heart, or I don't know; maybe something that doesn't have a heart but still fits the quote.

Changing "heart" to "soul" removes the need for a heart.

This I want to see.
In similar news, I'm working on a jacket that's patched up almost entirely, and all the patches are attached by studs which also fill in the blank spots. It'll also be covered in buttons. The buttons will all be political and the patches are all punk bands.
Good Luck Jillian

So, I haven't been able to find the drawing I'm looking for, but I know it's out there. I saw it recently.
It's a drawing of the two sides of a crimethinker. One side looks hippyish and is giving out a carrot and the other side looks punk and is holding a molotov.
I think that would look good with the phrase "A rich man's soul is a ghetto. An anarchist's soul is a kingdom"

Yeah, no. The drawing I was thinking is impossible to make into a stencil. I'm back at zero :\

Well, I'm going to try to simplify it and see if I have any luck.
The drawing can be found here
http://thecloud.crimethinc.com/pdfs/..._thunder_2.pdf
It's in page 34, and says PLEASE TRY THIS AT HOME

Ah I see what you mean. I think the person shouldn't be too bad if you define the carrots more, and I'd probably turn the people on the rooftops into silhouettes. Good luck.

I just read that there's this thing called transfer glue. If I print the drawing, cover it in glue, put white fabric on top of it, press it very hard, and let it stay overnight, the ink will transfer to the fabric. Anyone knows if this works?
