Make a Stencil Photo:
1. Upload any photo to an online photo editing program (Fotoflexer, Pixlr, etc.) If you know how to use Photoshop, of course that works as well.
2. Turn your photo first into black and white (grayscale). Then fool around and adjust the contrast until you have a super high contrast image.
3. Print
4. Shade in the areas that need to be black and then cut those out using an x-acto knife and a cutting mat underneath.
5. Spray paint!
