Week 3 : Stencil
The stencil I chose is a design I made myself that incorporates my name "Vlad" and our university "UCLA." I inverted the text and attempted to make the text look as if it were written in Korean, to represent the neighborhood that I hail from: Koreatown. It's a simple approach but one that I felt adequately represents where I'm from and where I currently am at as a person in my life.

Just wanted to say that I think your stencil is DOPE! I love what you decided to do and you succeeded in making it resemble Korean text. I'm not sure if you follow local artists from K-Town, but if you're interested in music at all, you should check out Linoskiii. He's an old friend of mine, but, more importantly, a great person!
