Hey, my name is George Manioudakis, aka Manofdarkness, and I've been working professionally since 2008. My studio is located in the Dandenong Ranges, Belgrave.

Over the years I’ve developed a multi-disciplinary art practice working predominantly with oil paint, acrylic, aerosol, stencils and paper. I have been involved in a number of solo and group exhibitions, a finalist in the Stencil Art Prize in 2013/14/15 and featured in a number of street art publications including ‘Street Art Australia’ and ‘The Stencil Graffiti Handbook’.

I have an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design and completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Art) at VCA in 2022. I currently work as a muralist and arts facilitator, delivering community based art programs around Australia.

We recently attended a 2.5-hour introductory stencil art workshop with my two kids, and it was a fantastic experience. The class was perfect for beginners, offering a comprehensive overview of the skills needed to create simple, single, or multi-layer stencils. The workshop started with a fascinating look into the origins and history of stencil art, which really helped us appreciate this unique form of expression. We then learned how to transform our own illustrations into stencils, using techniques like 'bridges' and 'islands' to craft intricate designs. The hands-on portion of the class was particularly engaging. We discovered the art of cutting stencils and got to grips with different types of blades. The instructor also taught us about spray can control, caps, layering, and the various creative possibilities of different painting techniques. What I loved most was how the workshop catered to all skill levels. Whether you have some experience or are a complete novice, like my kids and I, the class provided a fun and engaging environment. By the end, we had not only learned practical skills but also sparked our creativity and gained a new appreciation for stencil-making.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the world of stencil art.
