D*Face's Signature Style in Prey Red The confluence of pop art and street art finds a striking manifestation in the work of British artist Dean Stockton, better known as D*Face. Among his vast array of impactful artworks, the "Prey Red HPM Doodled Silkscreen Print" is a prime example of his skill in blending subversive street art techniques with the ethos of pop art. This limited edition piece, a silkscreen print on paperboard and an original work embellished with unique paint and pencil doodles by the artist himself captures the essence of his critique on consumerism and the cult of celebrity. Stockton's "Prey Red HPM Doodled Silkscreen Print" is not just another piece of street art; it reflects the artist's journey and commentary on society.

The print, measuring 23.25 by 33 inches, is framed in a custom red metal frame that echoes the vibrancy of the artwork within. D*Face and the Pop Street Art Movement Originally conceived as a design for wheatpaste posters plastered across cities, "Prey Red" evolved into a more refined expression of DFace's art when it was reimagined as a high-grade paper print. This transition from street art to a gallery-worthy piece underscores the fluid boundaries between different art forms and the versatility of DFace as an artist. The fact that this piece was one of just two versions produced and signed by the artist adds to its exclusivity and allure. DFace's work is often seen as a bridge between the raw, rebellious energy of street art and the polished, image-focused world of pop art. DFace challenges preconceived notions about art and its place in society by bringing his work into galleries without losing the street-smart edge. The "Prey Red HPM Doodled Silkscreen Print" is a testament to this, embodying the artist's skill in bringing depth and multiple layers of meaning to his work. The Cultural Impact of D*Face's Artwork Beyond its visual appeal, "Prey Red" is a cultural critique, much like the rest of DFace's oeuvre. Through his art, DFace invites viewers to question the icons and symbols that populate our visual landscape. This print, with its sharp imagery and the word "PREY" emblazoned across it, suggests a deeper conversation about who the prey is in a world saturated with media and celebrity culture. DFace's "Prey Red HPM Doodled Silkscreen Print" is not merely a piece of art to be admired for its style; it is a conversation starter, a piece of cultural commentary, and a collector's item all at once. It represents the artist's ongoing commitment to challenging viewers and the art establishment, urging a reevaluation of what is displayed on city walls and gallery halls. As DFace continues to create and evolve, works like "Prey Red" ensure his place in the annals of contemporary art history, bridging the gap between the underground and the mainstream.

Graphite & Colored Pencils
Graphite and colored pencils might seem like the tools of traditional fine artists and illustrators, but they have found a unique and vibrant place within the realms of pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. These humble instruments, known for their precision and range of expression, have been wielded by artists to challenge the boundaries between high art and popular culture.

Graphite's Grey Scale in Pop Art's Colorful World

Graphite pencils have been essential in creating preliminary sketches and detailed drawings in pop art. The subtle gradations of grey achievable with graphite have allowed artists to render the shadows and highlights necessary to bring a sense of three-dimensionality to two-dimensional pop art pieces. This effect can be seen in the early works of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, where pencil sketches served as the blueprint for their bold, colorful paintings that often commented on consumerist culture.

Colored Pencils: Bringing Vibrancy to Street Pop Art & Graffiti

Colored pencils bring a burst of energy and life to the monochromatic world of pencil drawing. In the hands of street artists and pop art creators, colored pencils are not just for coloring within the lines; they are tools for innovation. Street artists have utilized colored pencils to add intricate details to their works, create mock-ups of large murals, or produce standalone pieces characterized by their vibrancy and finesse.

The Role of Pencils in Crafting Street Art Narratives

In the storytelling of street pop art and graffiti, pencils play a crucial role. Artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey have used pencil drawings to plan out their iconic works, with Fairey's "Obey Giant" campaign starting as a simple sticker that evolved from his illustrations. Pencil work enables artists to plot out visual narratives, which are then translated onto walls and canvases across the globe.

Graphite and Colored Pencils in Artistic Exploration

The exploration of graphite and colored pencils in pop art and graffiti extends to texture and form. Artists have experimented with these tools to create works that push the envelope of what can be achieved with simple strokes. The layering of colors, blending, and textural effects achieved with pencils allow for a depth and richness that rival that of paint, yet with a distinctive clarity that only pencils can impart. The use of graphite and colored pencils in street pop art and graffiti artwork is a celebration of the potential within the basic tools of art. These mediums, often associated with the early stages of art education and preliminary art processes, hold their own as powerful means of expression in the world of contemporary art. Whether used for planning, detailing, or creating complete works, pencils are an artist's ally, capable of bringing the vivid world of imagination to the tangible canvas of reality.
