This video (filmed and edited by Rebels Alliance) shows the entire process of the piece created by D*Face on the side wall of Village Underground for this year’s Moniker Art Fair. It includes some discussion as to who painted over the logo too…

Sickboy’s newest show, “Heaven & Earth” contains an entirely new body of work and also presents four major installations which include a walk-in confessional booth (with a resident pastor), and an installation which see’s the who’s who of artists joining Sickboy, including: D*Face, Eine, Anthony Lister, Paul Insect, Vhils, Conor Harrington, Xenz, Word to Mother, Will Barras, Eelus, Mudwig and Hush – all of which feature in a special collaborative element of the show.

After years of brainwashing the public with his temple and slogans such as ‘Save the Youth’, Sickboy is expanding his ethos of ‘art for the people’ and inviting the global public to become part of his show by submitting their anonymous confessions to him, which will become one of the main installations, entitled CONFESS.

Heaven & Earth opens with a private view on Thursday 3rd November and opens to the public on Friday 4th to Sunday 6th November. Dray Walk, The Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, London, E1 6QL.

This has done the rounds on numerous blogs and sites already, but for those who haven’t seen it yet. Enjoy

“Experimental and slightly mental. The D*Face spray paint skateboard interface. What better way to paint the pool then letting everyone get involved? With high-tech remotely controlled spray can apparatus mounted to the underside of skateboards…every line a skater took became the paint job of the pool.”

D*Face has grown in popularity in the US in a huge way of late, his guerilla pieces around the Oscars caught the eye of mainstream press, and now rumours have been confirmed that the artist has created the new album cover for Christina Aguilera. Aguilera is reportedly a big art collector and this is the latest in a growing list of accomplished street artist making a move towards commercial pop art worlds.

Following on from our video post of D*Face transforming Peter King’s ‘ridiculous pool’, here’s a couple of pics from his time over there.

D*Face was recently asked to paint a skate pool owned by pro surfer Peter kKing. The project took four days and saw over 500 skulls hand stenciled into the pool which was christened by legend Steve “Salba” Salba, one of the original members of the Santa Cruz skate team

“Peter and legendary skater Steve ‘Salba’ Alba discovered this pool, as they have with many, in the back yard of a vacant house in San Bernardino; hit hard by the economic downturn and subprime mortgage fiasco, San Bern or BadLands has left many properties vacant, like many downsides there’s an up to those who are searching… this area has the most amount of pools built in the 50′s… which unlike most pools built today are beautifully curved and shaped, offering up dream like transitions to those committed, pool hunting, backyard jumping skaters.

This particular pool got Christened the ‘Ridiculous Pool’ as it’s transitions and shape are God given. The pool remained empty and secretly skated for a few years until the property was put up for sale, fearing it would be brought by one of the property developer vultures circling overhead, which would have seen the pool turned back into it’s intended use, Peter stepped in and brought the property, pool and all, the rest is history … I was asked if I’d like to paint it… I didn’t need asking twice.”

D*Face has worked on a new print along some other interesting new works. This edition was created during a 2 week residency with the master printers at Modern Multiples in Los Angeles. “Riot” was printed in 3 versions; 4 on Antique Road-Sign Metal, 4 on Antique Wooden Board, and of course a limited run of 50 sheets of 320gsm coventry archival paper. Wood and Metal are Hand-Finished by D*Face; sanded, airbrushed, aged, and presented in a tray frame.

You can purchase the metal, wood and paper print editions now from Jetsetgraffiti.
