Heartbreak Highway
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Heartbreak Highway is a 2026 hand-pulled screen print released through Underdogs, the Lisbon-based studio and publisher. Built from twenty-nine separate colour layers on heavyweight Lambeth 370gsm paper at 70 x 100cm, it ranks among D*Face's most technically ambitious editions. The run is tightly held at 60 signed and numbered impressions plus 10 artist's proofs.

Why It Matters
A twenty-nine-colour print is an outlier even within D*Face's catalogue, where high layer counts already signal serious studio investment. Each colour is a discrete screen and registration pass, compounding both cost and the risk of misalignment. That density of process, paired with an edition of just 60, marks this as a flagship rather than a routine drop.
Collector Perspective
For collectors, the appeal rests on the intersection of a low edition size and exceptional print complexity. The large 70 x 100cm format demands wall space and considered framing, so condition of the sheet edges and surface matters. As a signed and numbered Underdogs release, provenance is straightforward when purchase records accompany the piece.
Historical Context
Underdogs has long been a platform for D*Face and his peers in the post-street contemporary field, publishing editions that push production values. Heartbreak Highway sits at the recent end of the artist's timeline, extending his romance-and-ruin visual language into a large, layered format that rewards close viewing.
