Graffiti/ Street artist Neckface has not only been influential in the art world but in skating as well. His work has been shown in galleries worldwide as well as on the bottom of some Baker Skateboard decks. In fact he was even named Baker Skateboard’s creative director.
Neckface rose to fame with his creative and often humorous alterations of billboards like the one shown in the beginning of this post. He also produces original art some of which can be seen below:
His work has caught the attention of the directors Girl Skateboards’ opus “Yeah Right”; Ty Evans and Spike Jonze. These gentlemen are working on a documentary about the famous artist, Hunter Stephenson from Slashfilm.com was able to speak with TY via email and this is what he had to say about the project:
The Neckface doc is super rough right now. I started filming Neck back in 2005. A lot has happened since then and there is a lot more to come. When I first started filming him I told him I want to film him for a long time span to capture his growth and everything that comes along with it. It is not coming out anytime soon. Maybe I’m half way? Maybe I’m just getting started? I have no clue. Neck is the illest guy out there and I’m psyched he picked me to tell his story.
Slashfim also posted a link to the teaser trailer for the doc which can be seen here.
