Cepillin Y Chepillin Stencil Silhouette Portrait for Vinyl, Shirts and Mugs
This stencil style silhouette portrait shows a bearded man with long hair and a red clown nose, set above the lettering “Che” in red script and “pillin” in black. It is a playful parody of a famous revolutionary portrait, and the download gives you SVG, PNG, DXF and EPS, PDF files for cutting and printing. You get the design in black, white and red, ready for vinyl decals, t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, stickers and scrapbooking. The silhouette is flat and bold, with the shoulders, long hair and beard drawn as clean shapes. Each piece reads clearly from a distance, so it works well as a novelty gift for pop culture fans. Because the artwork is a single portrait with two lines of lettering, the cut lines stay simple and the layout stays easy to weed. The PNG version has a transparent background at 300 dpi, which suits sublimation and printed transfers. Use the SVG in Cricut Design Space or Silhouette Studio for cutting, or open the PDF and EPS in Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW.
Design breakdown
This design is a single portrait cut in 3 layers, using black, white and red. The black layer holds the stencil-style silhouette of the man, the long hair, the beard and the shoulders, along with the “pillin” lettering. The red layer covers the clown nose and the “Che” script. The white background is the uncut space around the figure. Fine details such as the edges of the hair and the nose are best cut at 4 inches or larger.
