Stencil Punks

Justin "Toxicated" Mayer
He is 22 years old and lives/works in Philadelphia, PA as a screenprinter in a union shop. "Heads up" the art department at the business he works. Enjoys going to the beach, reading, going to movies, throwing parties, and going to shows. He spends the majority of his time wondering why he does the things he does. He engages in buddhist practices, but for personal practical purposes rather than religious.

Justin created Stencil Punks. Something of a digital packrat, he saves almost anything he'll eventually use until he realizes that he wont and clears out alot of trash off his computer. The stencil collection he owned grew and grew until he decided to post them on a geocities page as backup. He posted it on livejournal a few times and it blew up.

Ironically, Justin doesn't listen to alot of punk music, as in the majorty of the music posted on this site. He likes the music he likes for the reasons he does: listens to ska, punk, hardcore, indie, 90s alt rock, soul, reggae, dub, etc... He used to be a "punk" when he was younger and got tired of it, claiming to not wanting to be associated with a group that is seen to be lazy or unintelligent, seeing the image as unimportant. He cut off his weekend warrior mohawk and hung up his leather jacket. Nowadays he doesnt even wear his boots save once or twice a year. He walks around in Sambas wearing jeans or camos and button down dress shirts, polos, or blank t-shirts.

He maintains this site for kicks, likes playing soccer and supporting his team, riding bikes, being mr. fix-it in his aparment, riding around town on his scooter, daydreaming about vespas and stellas (someday), going to shows, to the movies, and such. He does design work a scooter club, a MLS supporter club, a few band websites, and designs tattoos for friends as well. He has no life.
