D-Face!!!



When the "Street Art" boom started, there were maybe a handful of artists that were really doing stuff that was intriguing...Most people around my circle started to really gravitate towards Banksy's and Shepard Fairey's work. But all along there was D-Face, hands down one of the most influential street artists in my opinion. What's great about D-Face is that his medium is anything that he can get his hands on ie: Aerosol, Wheatpastes, etc....

I remember being lucky enough to snag a copy of "Overspray," the special charater issue. They had this interview with D-Face were he carved a huge can of paint with his signature wings out of ice!!! Shit was cold...That really said something about how an artists mind is adaptive to circumstance and medium...I was a huge fan from then on...
