DFACE, by Photoxtc on Aug 7, 2007 8:24:06 GMT 1, that is lovely harveyn and the frame is perfect for that canvas.....
I'll post some pictures of my immature D* Face originals as well mate...
Saying one can be too old for certain types of art is probably one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.... pretty sad when you feel as if you're too old to enjoy something....that cork must be way up there and really tight.....
GOD help me if I ever feel that way and someone from the board shoot me if I ever say anything that remotely comes close to that closed minded type of thinking!!!

DFACE, by runningdog on Aug 7, 2007 10:57:05 GMT 1, [rant] I'm still choking on my tea after reading that you shouldn't own a D* once you pass 30. I'm going to have to offload 6 prints and 2 originals pronto, as I hit that milestone the other day. Or maybe I won't? You sir are a moron, and clearly on the wrong forum. Street art appeals to everyone, not just ponces like yourself who are obsessed with their own supposed maturity. D*Face's stuff, when seen in the flesh, looks totally f**king fly, end of story. D*Face has been working for years and he's stuck, sprayed and screenprinted stuff onto city walls worldwide. He draws whatever the f**k he wants to, and most of the time it's big cartoon characters. He doesn't try to cater for tastes or trends, he's his own man. A lot of the hype generated on this forum is around artists (who I won't name) with virtually no street presence, and they're the ones who will be a flash in the pan, not a giant like D*Face. Someone had a problem with him doing a warhol-style print. Is it original? no - but most artists have played around with Warhol's style at some point. Paul Insect seems to have taken the idea to new levels... [/rant]
Edit: the care he takes over his work should be a lesson to all. He personally put about 2000 stitches in this beauty, currently entertaining anyone who walks into my house:

I was in Laz when D came in had a look around, I heard him mutter some positive comments about Pauls show and the pieces he liked to his partner. When I finished looking around I noticed he'd had a playful dig at Paul saying how the work looking like it was influenced by D*face... Don't qoute me on it but if you see the comments book you can't miss it. ;D

Just checked his website, bookcases, wallets and designer pillows?! I always think of him as the Banksy for 12 years olds. Infact I don't even know why I'm bothering to type so much about him! cringeworthy on a good day, cliched on a bad day IMO
Agreed! Dface is blatantly milking the bloated cash cow that pulls the Banksy bandwagon. If I were to compare those two artists to bands then Banksy would be Oasis and Dface would be Shed7.

We have a lot of Art Critics here, and I mean that very much as an insult. These are basically Graffiti artists. These guys have always 'borrowed' each other's styles, right from the beginning. Look at all the NY graf from the 80s, all the train writers - show me someone who's completely original. Nobody is. Even Banksy got the idea of stencilling from other artists, particularly Blek le Rat. The fact that nobody works in a vacuum is part of the heritage of the whole scene. Maybe I'll start a thread claiming that Neate is wack because he's just ripped off Bacon and then sold out? People make names for themselves by being hugely prolific, and developing their own styles. And criticizing any artist for selling merchandise is a joke. Everyone has to make a living, and if that means selling a few cushions to the Japanese, so fucking what?How about some of the Art Critics here turn off the laptop and attempt some decent artwork, see how far you get with that.

WHAT? You're telling me Shed7 sold more records than Oasis? I think it's you that needs to do the research.

No, I'm telling you that you know a lot more about Shed7 and Oasis than you do about Banksy and Dface, hence the lame analogy you came up with. D's been producing work on the street around the world and staging some of the most exciting graf related shows (Finders Keepers etc) long before the word Banksy became common currency.

There are others who do similar work, Sam3 for example, who's worked with Blu I think. And they didn't get their ideas out of nowhere. Maybe they used to read Edward Gorey books as kids?

DFACE, by mp on Aug 9, 2007 6:51:39 GMT 1, We've had this debate before and I'm sure we'll have it again. Art is personal, not everyone is going to like what everyone else likes. Those who are jumping on the Banksy bandwagon don't necessarily know the other artists or their history as much and therefore consistently try to compare them to him, which is not fair.
Banksy is Banksy. He always will be the first artist from this new movement to break out on a massive scale and crossover to mainstream fans. I first discovered this movement because of Banksy, as I'm sure a lot of people did and I'm guessing that is why his work has become the benchmark for all other artists on these boards, but it shouldn't be. Bansky will create whatever art he wants to create, the same as DFace will create whatever art he wants to create. Some people will love it and some people won't.
We get into these debates about what is good and what isn't and frankly, there will never be a set answer, because it is all subjective.
All of that being said, I do think Dface is extremely talented. Not every piece speaks to me, but that's just the way it is. My Black Hate(which btw, was the first thing I ever bought directly from POW) and Kant Complain are two of my favorites. I also own pieces by Banksy, Micallef, Beejoir, Neate(coming in the mail), Faile, Insect, Shepard Fairey, Eelus and many others so I think it just depends on what people respond to.
People shouldn't only be in this for the money or what they feel the value of a piece will rise to, though let's be honest, that is part of it when you're spending the amount of money we spend on these works. Ultimately, people should buy the things that they love. If prices plummeted tomorrow and these pieces were worth next to nothing, you need to own things that you would still be proud and happy just to have on your wall.
Ok, done ranting now. By the way, I'm twelve years old, maybe that's why I like Dface so much...
...just kidding. I'm fourteen.

All of that being said, I do think Dface is extremely talented. Not every piece speaks to me, but that's just the way it is. My Black Hate(which btw, was the first thing I ever bought directly from POW) and Kant Complain are two of my favorites. I also own pieces by Banksy, Micallef, Beejoir, Neate(coming in the mail), Faile, Insect, Shepard Fairey, Eelus and many others so I think it just depends on what people respond to.
People shouldn't only be in this for the money or what they feel the value of a piece will rise to, though let's be honest, that is part of it when you're spending the amount of money we spend on these works. Ultimately, people should buy the things that they love. If prices plummeted tomorrow and these pieces were worth next to nothing, you need to own things that you would still be proud and happy just to have on your wall.
Ok, done ranting now. By the way, I'm twelve years old, maybe that's why I like Dface so much...
...just kidding. I'm fourteen.

DFACE, by paolos on Aug 9, 2007 9:26:57 GMT 1, WHAT? You're telling me Shed7 sold more records than Oasis? I think it's you that needs to do the research. No, I'm telling you that you know a lot more about Shed7 and Oasis than you do about Banksy and Dface, hence the lame analogy you came up with. D's been producing work on the street around the world and staging some of the most exciting graf related shows (Finders Keepers etc) long before the word Banksy became common currency.
Ok then, let me make this comparison. If they were both cheesecakes, then Banksy would be a 'Taste the difference' Sainsbury's Cheesecake, and Dface would be a Tesco's Value Economy Cheesecake.

you clearly know more about cheesecake than you do about art..
..d*face is not a banksy tribute act which is something you seem to find hard to understand

DFACE, by mp on Aug 9, 2007 9:42:47 GMT 1, I hear you TFL. All I'm trying to say is that people should be judging artists on their own merit, not against the merits of others. If you don't like their work, then there's no need to purchase or debate it, it's just not for you and that's cool.
DFace should be judged on his next show, print release, etc. Just like Banksy should be judged on his new work post the LA prints. Will the works ever be comparable in popularity, who knows? It all depends on who you ask and what any particular piece means to that person.
