Neckface; the artist unknown

What is his name? Neckface. What does he look like? Nobody knows.

Neckface is a graffeti artist who paints on buildings as well as just paper. His artwork is slightly strange and sort of scary but still, I find it to be very intreaging. He actually attended art school for two years before he decided that he wanted to drop out and continue his art on his own. He believes he learned more from elementary school art than he did in art school. He started his street graffeti in Stockton, California but it soon progressed to San Francisco. After his work recieved so much attention it was moved off the streets and into art galleries.

Above is one of his graffeti works on a building.

In addition to his artwork, neckface enjoys skating and was recognized by a skating company to design skateboards and has recently been appointed as the Art Director for Baker Skateboards.

I was personally drawn to neckface because his artwork is so scratchy and detailed in a strange way. I really love the style of the things he draws. Although, I do find the subjects of somethings he draws a bit strange, but it's still different from what typically artists like to create. I also have a great appreciation for the amount of success he has had as artist. He worked hard and created many artworts to get where he is today.
