Why It Matters
Artist Proofs sit outside the numbered edition and are typically produced in smaller quantities, making this AP a scarcer variant of an already limited run. The eighteen-colour build is technically ambitious, and the mortality theme in the title places it squarely within D*Face's enduring skull-and-death iconography.
Collector Perspective
The Artist Proof designation is the key draw, offering a scarcer status than a standard numbered impression. The eighteen-colour registration is a quality and complexity marker. Collectors should confirm the AP notation alongside the signature, and note the dual Corey Helford and Stolen Space distribution behind the main edition.
Historical Context
Skulls and confrontations with mortality have anchored D*Face's imagery since the early 2000s, and Date With Death continues that lineage. Published through Corey Helford in 2017, it reflects his sustained presence in the Los Angeles gallery scene and his habit of pairing morbid subject matter with pop-bright colour.
