Cut and Paint is a website with free access to a wide variety of visual designs that can be printed out, cut, and used as graffiti stencils anywhere. Access to a variety of resolutions of each design is free for all, and there is a standing invitation for artist-activists to contribute their own designs for others to use. Designs can be sorted by subject but overall, it is a very basic site and intentionally easy for anyone to navigate so that resources may be used as much as possible.
