Justice for Bill Stickers!
Posters and newspapers are the elements I’m most proud of on my terrain, and I feel they really help sell these pieces as being part of a slightly squalid urban environment, but one which has society and progress within it. It’s not decay and ruin – these streets are lived in.
This is how I make them.
I made a word document by taking images off the web that I liked and then shrinking them in Word really small. Standard inkjet printing on cheapo A4 paper gives options:
- Brush the backs in dilute PVA – they’ll go soft and then just stick it where you want it. The colours will bleed a bit but this is good for old/worn posters. They’re easy to then rough-up and tear with an old brush or something.
- If you want to fix the colours of the posters – spray the printed side with spray varnish and leave to dry before gluing with the method above – the colours won’t bleed and they won’t tear so easily.
- Where I am doing layered effects – I put down a bunch of posters using method 1 and then a “new” poster over the top that’s been varnished using method 2
You can go back over with washes and weathering powders to make them look even grubbier if you wish.
