D*face is a London based graffiti artist who was inspired by Henry Chalfant’s books ‘Spraycan Art’ and ‘Subway Art’ when he was young. This, plus his love of skateboarding, helped shape his style which can now be seen all over the world. He first started by ‘acquiring’ sticky vinyl from DIY shops, which he used to create stickers. And as the size of these stickers grew, so did his ambition.
He’s since been known to take over entire billboards, create huge concrete sculptures and his first ‘proper’ art exhibition in Oct 2006 completely sold out. Which, indecently, is what some of his fans accused him of when he worked with Christina Aguilera on her album cover.
Personally, we don’t blame him for taking the cash. Besides, we work in advertising so who are we to criticise people for selling out?
Below are a few examples of his work:
