D*Face
D*Face also know as Dean Stockton is a London born graffiti artist, freelance illustrator and owner of his own gallery space. D*Face came to rise first as a sticker street artist in the early 2000's when he started creating characters while bored at his nine to five job, these weird characters that he created eventually moved from paper onto hand drawn vinyl stickers that he started to place around the areas of London he visited. D*Face is influenced by a love for graffiti, skateboarding graphics and cartoons in general. In 2006 D*Face had his first proper show called Death & Glory at a gallery space called Stolen Space Gallery, which is owned and curated by D*Face , it was a sell out success. He is best known for the re-prints he did of twenty pound notes, released into circulation, with the classic D*Face character instead of the Queen's head, or a series of bill boards he covered illegally with his own design. I like how D*Face characters dare really abstract for a long time he really only worked with a flying ball type character with wings and weird slits for eyes,but all of his characters have a abstract kind of mechanical feel to them .
