New DFace, by savannahsam on Jul 3, 2015 8:57:53 GMT 1, Poly, your point is valid. However, I would argue that its less of a spin off of Lichtenstein and more of a critique. A lot of Lichtenstein's work (and pop art in general) can be interpreted as a glorification of western culture. D*face takes the motif and turns it on its head to provide a modern comment on these institutions. "Kiss of death" and "Sweet Nothings" are decidedly feminist interpretations on the oppression a women can face in a traditional relationship, and "Pop Tart" is equally effective at deconstructing the empty facade of celbrity idolization. (I realize that sentence is smug as hell). Modern comment or just plane rip off, I don't know maybe it's debatable. Do we actually need a modern comment though? It just seems to me that his work lacks originality. There are others doing similar work as well. Look at Denial or Greg Gossel, they use comic book imagery in their work too. Perhaps it's just me but when I see works like these I can't help but feel it's all been done before. But to all of you who enjoy it, well that's cool I guess. Art is very subjective, so buy what you like and enjoy it. Lichtenstein- In the car D*Face- Going Nowhere Fast

New DFace, by Poly Mindset on Jul 3, 2015 16:46:16 GMT 1, I never really got D*Face's work. Isn't it just kind of like a spin off of Lichtenstein's comic book stuff? I always wonder why people wouldn't just buy a Lichtenstein, at least it's semi-original and imo much better in the classic sense. Even some of Pose's work is heavily influenced by Lichtenstein but in the case of Pose at least there is much more originality in comparison to D*Face. Some things I guess I'll just never understand. Though it has made me go back and appreciate studying the history of art and especially the founding fathers of pop art like Lichtenstein. I agree, Pose does this kind of stuff better and I get what you're saying but "just buy a Lichtestein"? Not up to date on Lichtenstein pricing but I guess it's the extra zeroes at the end that scares people off.. I hear what you're saying a nice Lichtenstein is going to set you back between $5k-20k. However, if anyone wants to pay homage to the originator of comicesque art and a founding father of pop art I recently picked up some beautiful original Lichtenstein Guggenheim posters from 1969 and some Warhol Marilyn posters from 1992 at an auction. They are both way out of print and I'm going to drop maybe four sets for like $225+ s/h a set if anyone is interested. I will post pics later. I should have them next week. Just thought I'd offer these to forum members first as it is a steal of a price. Go ahead and check, cause I know you will.

He's clearly highly influenced by vintage Marvel superheroes and villains but this one seems less visually appealing. Hopefully his next work will be less villain influenced

New DFace, by Fะฏ on Jul 4, 2015 17:36:10 GMT 1, still amazes me that print releases on websites still have the same issue they did 10 years ago. we can send someone to mars (soon) but we cannot get a website to handle a few extra people.
saying that, it seems this is just a case of someone fucking up the website rather than traffic
