Yellow Feets Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Graff would have evolved no matter what Haha. This guy said "evolved". If, in the future, all what's known as graffiti today "evolved" into this sappy shit, then the future would fucking suck. But then again... I wouldn't put Neckface in the "Graffiti" catergory.

religion Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 This guys stuff isn't pretty, and thats good. I really enjoy seeing this type of stuff when its acctually "up". I hate how much of it floats through the suburbs nowadays, but sadly thats the nature of art, it turns gay, usually because of small group of people use it for gay reasons ie. advertising, to be cool, etc. . I do graffiti according to "clean" hip hop stereotype standards (I can't beleive I'm saying this), but I think this type of playfulness is totally lacking and needed by a culture that takes this shit WAAAAAAAAYYYY to seriously. I think style is important as the next man, but in this case, fuck style. This is about communication at its rawest level, appreciate that. It doesnt look like the styles as forced as alot of artfag shit. Looks pretty genuine. Lighthearted. 8 out of a possible 10 dead artfags.

High Priest Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 Article taken from the NEW YORKER. NECK FACE Issue of 2004-04-05 Posted 2004-03-29 For the past year and a half, a mischievous presence has been asserting itself on the city’s street lamps, doorways, traffic-light-control boxes, and any other visible surface that it is in no one’s interest to monitor or clean too diligently: drawings of snaggletoothed monsters and hairy limbs with sharpened nails, and oblique yet strangely pointed phrases such as “beat with the ugly stick.” These images are often signed “Neck Face,” in angular capital letters that look like the work of an angry toddler or of Danny Torrance in “The Shining.” Neck Face is nineteen, little and shy, with black eyes and brows, and fanglike teeth of his own. He wears a parka with two thick paint markers—silver and black, “the Oakland Raiders combo”—zipped into the upper pocket, a pair of black high-tops tightened to “sprint mode,” and an air of nonchalant alertness: he is always on the lookout for “neighborhood heroes.” He is cagey about his identity: “It’s like Batman, you know? No one knew who he was.” Marsea Goldberg, who has a gallery in Los Angeles and last month displayed some of Neck Face’s drawings—vampires in hot-pink cloaks; devilish people saying “You nasty” to each other—said, “He looks like a cross between Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger. He has this whole following of really cute young girls writing ‘I ck Face’ throughout the subways.” Goldberg said that on the final day of the show the musician Beck came in and bought five Neck Faces. On a recent Saturday, Neck Face came in to Manhattan from Brooklyn, where he is currently staying on a friend’s couch (hence the mushrooming presence of goblins in that borough), to walk around the East Twenties, the neighborhood where he got his start. On Lexington below Twenty-sixth Street, he pointed to a door where he had drawn a bubble head with baggy eyes and a discombobulated mouth. “I like messed-up teeth,” he said. “Every other person draws stuff with good teeth. I’ve got fillings in every single tooth.” He opened his mouth and revealed a metal armature. “I eat a lot of candy.” At the corner of Twenty-third and Lex, he saw a scrawl on the side of a deli that said, “Fuck Neck Face.” “Someone told me about that,” he said. “That sucks.” He walked past a newsstand where he had designed an elaborate frieze: a bristly arm, a snake eating a heart, a mouth with “Neck Face” spelled out on each tooth, and the words “God Owes Me Money.” (“He owes me five dollars,” Neck Face said.) On Second Avenue, he saw a cobbler’s sign with a rendering of a sharp stiletto, under which he’d drawn the pinned figure of a man. He chuckled (“Heh-heh”) and said, “A guy getting stabbed with a high heel.” Neck Face is trying not to do too much graffiti these days—he has exhibitions coming up in San Francisco and London, and doesn’t want to jeopardize them by getting caught—but at Seventh Street he saw something irresistible: a clear plastic panel swinging from the side of a phone booth. He glanced around quickly and signed his name. A few paces along, he stopped at a red door. Heh-heh. With his back to the door to look more casual, he drew an open mouth with short lines for teeth, a wishbone-like nose, and beady eyes, and wrote “Neck Face is ugly” underneath. At Third Street, there was a deli with a mechanical horse outside. “It’d be cool to write on that horse,” he said, almost wistfully, and signed his name in black on its white flank. Heh-heh. There is an immediacy to Neck Face’s work and, though he is in art school, not much room for introspection. He doesn’t know what Neck Face means. “I thought of it junior year of high school,” he said. (Neck Face grew up an hour from San Francisco. His father has a tire shop, and one of Neck Face’s favorite mediums is Mean Streaks, white grease pencils that are used for marking tires.) Many of Neck Face’s relatives live in Mexicali, Mexico, and Goldberg, the gallerist, sees the influence of Mexican folk art. Neck Face shrugged, and said, “My brothers”—there are three of them—“all draw scary stuff. Not like perfectly rendered people—monsters and stuff. I grew up with cartoons.” He allowed that he admires Edward Gorey and, especially, Charles Addams. “He’s my favorite,” Neck Face said. “It’s, like, the stuff that people are afraid to laugh at.” — Dana Goodyear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
