Description
A must-have for fans of urban art and rebellion, D*Face: The Monograph features the last decade of work by internationally recognised street artist D*Face in a spectacular slipcased package.
Street artist Dean Stockton, A.K.A. D*Face, has been creating stickers, posters, murals and more for over twenty years.

This monograph, with text in both French and English, captures his best work since the 2013 release of One Man and His Dog – the Art of D*Face. Witness the most comprehensive and diverse collection of the man Banksy deems “street-urchin extraordinaire… the sticker king of London.”

About the Author
D*Face a.k.a Dean Stockton has been a leading figure in Urban Contemporary Art, inaugurating his career on the streets over 15 years ago by hand-drawing stickers and posters, adhering them all over the streets of London and beyond for the unsuspecting public to discover. He is one of the best known figures to rise from the British scene having had a constant leading presence throughout its meteoric rise into popular culture.
Shepard Fairey is the man behind OBEY GIANT, the graphics that have changed the way people see art and the urban landscape. What started with an absurd sticker he created in 1989 while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design has since evolved into a worldwide street art cam-paign, as well as an ac-claimed body of fine art. His work has also been exhibited in such museums and collections as The New Museum of Design, New York; the San Diego Museum of Con-tem-por-ary Art, San Diego, CA; the Balt-ic Cen-ter for Con-tem-por-ary Art, New Castle, UK; the Mu-seum of Mod-ern Art, New York; the Vic-tor-ia & Al-bert Mu-seum, Lon-don; and the Los Angeles County Mu-seum of Art.
