South Carolina: home state of Shepard Fairey. Also the state where the idea of Stencil Archive germinated. Roll back in time to around 1990, where a random stencil of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs appeared on an exterior wall in Clemson. Carrying around a camera wasn't a thing yet, so the stencil is only archived in the cobwebs of the memory. But the seed was planted!
Though Fairey doesn't get up much at all in South Carolina, other people surely do. Eric Mills had art on a brew pub wall last month, and we didn't want North Carolina to steal all the Carolina spotlight. The SC archive is now updated, with a few of these images dating back to 2002.
