Neck Face

Neck Face is a graffiti artist born in 1984 in Stockton, California. He is known for his clear and uniquely frightening drawing style. His artistic values and style of working is often compared to Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Neck Face originally worked in Stockton and Lodi, California, where he attended Bear Creek High School and Tokay High School. Neck Face gained a great deal of notice through his affixing stickers emblazoned with his art to public objects such as street signs, traffic signals, and various buildings throughout Stockton and Lodi. Neck Face also spread his work to San Francisco, California, where his name can still be seen on many newspaper stands and walls throughout the city. He attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and was based in Brooklyn, New York City for two years before dropping out. In 2005 he relocated his studio to California, and now splits his time between California, New York, Australia, and Spain.

His most famous public art piece once appropriated the sign on an abandoned storefront of the store "My Old Lady" in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood; he painted under that "...Loves Neckface". Recent renovations to the storefront, however, have removed the sign.

Works by Neck Face can also be found in Tokyo.
