Artwork
Neck Face's style can be described as naïve and scratchy. His themes have an estranging, violent and medieval feel to them. Obvious influences are heavy metal and latrinalia.
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 "...♥'s Neck Face". Recent renovations to the storefront, however, have removed the sign.
Neckface can been seen from Sydney Road Brunswick Melbourne above Brunswick Green.
In 2005, to the displeasure of nearby residents and building superintendents, his work was prominently and repeatably visible from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
In addition to appearing across billboards and buildings in the United States, Neck Face's work can be seen internationally in places such as Melbourne, Sydney, Copenhagen and Tokyo.
A prominent building-wide signature and self-portrait can be seen at the top of a building in the now heavily-gentrified D.U.M.B.O. neigborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
Gallery works follow Neck Face's familiar style but are not limited to drawings and paintings. Shows have included for example sharp metal masks, felt installations and sculptures.
In an interview on Epicly Later'd, Neck Face describes using water colors in his artwork as "I get the water color and then I just f*#k it up". In this same interview he acknowledges King Diamond as a major influence.
