NECKFACE Scares Up a Crowd in Miami

NECKFACE celebrated Halloween in Miami, taking over O.H.W.O.W. gallery for the solo exhibition, “Devil’s Disciple.” Continuing his work in metal, the monster-drawing vandal unveiled a pile of new masks as well as watercolor illustrations hung on a backdrop of dead children and bloody brain matter. Along with the art, NECKFACE offered some insight into the childhood that gave rise to these twisted images, creating a haunted house “installation” from his family’s extensive collection of Halloween props.

NECKFACE Bootleg?

Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Kind of near the bridge.
Trying to pass off counterfeit NECKFACE on Ebay is one thing, but is someone imitating the vandal on the street? If NECK did this above piece he must have been completely obliterated with an added dose of something remarkably strong. This knock-off looking bat-character is actually more infantile than NECK’s usual street scrawls. What do you think, real or fake? Here’s a similar looking but authentic ghoul.

NECKFACE Trash On eBay

This kid has come along way. He’s had exhibits, bombed billboards, painted tons of hideous tags, done shit for brands, and here’s further proof that’s working out for him. These NECKFACE scrawled trash cans were spotted on eBay. They both got the trademark NECK lettering as well as the spiny reaching hand. The “dirty” trash cans are from San Francisco according to the description. Bid is hovering around $7.25 when we last checked and there’s no reserve so this one could be a steal. Better be located nearby though, as dude has no idea how to ship that shit. Plus it’s funny how the seller throws BANKSY’s name into the listing, if not just for the sake of prosperity alone.

NECKFACE’s Graffiti Described As ‘Rubbish Doodles’

Not everyone loves NECKFACE. Clutter magazine’s blog took a swipe at the hideous character-making vandal and likens his art to high school scribbling:
It’s the sort of thing a 16 year old dons their physics textbook with because the teacher is bollocking on about diffraction (see I DID listen once…). Does that make everyone who scribbles down with the DIY ethic?
But the author argues that the NECKFACE phenomena is not all the artist’s fault, and the self righteous arbiters of cool may be the culprits:
Maybe it’s not his fault and that it’s the self-important critics and hyperbeasts who see themselves as the purveyors of cool that are fuelling the hyperbole. Latch on to a guy and see what happens.
Ironically, that’s exactly what Vans and now Baker Skateboards did, only time will tell how it works for them.
Oi! Neckface! No! |Clutter Blog|

NECKFACE Survives Better On the Street

We first began noticing his ubiquitous scrawls and primitive-like spiny arrangements on E.23rd St. back a few years ago and thought for sure it had to be a SVA student mocking graffiti writers with his simpleton hand styles and super raw characters. Plus most of his original work was confined exclusively between Park Ave South and 2nd Ave in close proximity to the art school’s campus. One couldn’t help but notice the hairy arm or sharp chiseled tooth creatures that totally caught our attention and begun our fascination with artist-vandal known as NECKFACE.
