Work Summary & Collector Notes
Cry Baby (First Edition, 2023) is a StolenSpace collaboration, a six-colour screen print on Somerset Radiant White 410gsm at 85 x 71cm with a hand-deckled bottom edge. Signed and numbered by both artists, the edition runs to 150. The deckled edge and premium cotton stock give it a fine-art finish.

Why It Matters
The hand-deckled bottom edge is a distinctive, artisanal touch that separates this from a machine-cut sheet and appeals to collectors who value handmade character. Dual signatures mark it as a collaboration, and the 410gsm Somerset stock signals archival intent. Together these details lift Cry Baby above a standard drop despite its 150 edition.
Collector Perspective
Collectors should preserve the hand-deckled edge, as it is intrinsic to the work's presentation and value. Confirm both artists' signatures and the numbering against the 150-run. The large 85 x 71cm format on heavy cotton needs careful, flat storage, and the deckled edge argues for float-mounting rather than a tight window mat that would conceal it.
Historical Context
Cry Baby engages the tearful, doe-eyed iconography that D*Face has revisited throughout his career, here shaped by a collaborative hand. Somerset paper with a deckled edge has a long fine-art pedigree, and StolenSpace's use of it for this edition places the work within a tradition of elevated, gallery-grade street-art printmaking.
