Stencil Art

Shepard Fairey is an amazing stencil artist and everything he does admires me. From simple stickers to illegal wheat pasting in the city and his political/controversial art. Everything he does is pretty damn amazing.
Now, I think I just found another stencil artist that is just as impressive as Shepard Fairey, but on a completely different level. Although not as powerful as Shepard, Kenji Nakayama's stencils are way more complicated and finely detailed compare to Shepard's. Kenji is a Japanese artist based in Boston, Mass. and mainly stencil street scene. What impresses me is that he can take a simple subject and turn it into a complicated art (such as alleys and freight trains).
Here are some good example.
