In the mix: Boxi, Chris Stain, Billy Mode, Shepard Fairey, Ron English, and Logan himself.....
Logal also sent over a link to a Flickr pool with hundreds of pics of Primary Flight
Ron English stencils a background before pasting up one of his freaky characters. Primary Flight, Miami, FL

Stencil Revolution: Back From the Ashes
(hmmm..... they still appear to be down, but this email just arrived. hope they make it back! - Stencil Archive)
After months being down, and hard work Stencil Revolution is back on our feet. We have set up a multiple server architecture to ensure stability of our systems. This means, local, and remote back ups are done daily, and full site back ups are performed weekly. We won't be going down again, and we won't be taking anymore down time.
We'd simply like to let everyone know we're back up, and we're looking for our members to come back and contribute once again to our site. We have THE LARGEST stencil gallery on the internet, and it continues to grow by the day.
The forums team is looking for candidates to act as moderators, and global administrators. If you're interested please pm Menekali. We're also looking to set up contests, give a ways, and auctions both for SR, and for private members as well…
