Panic Now
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Panic Now is a 2010 signed and numbered screen print released through Don't Panic in a limited edition of 25, sized 56 x 76 cm. The urgent, ironic title pairs with a compact scale, and the small edition places it among the scarcer D*Face prints of its year.

Why It Matters
The imperative title trades in the alarmist, consumer-anxiety register D*Face often satirises. Its release through Don't Panic, a platform distinct from his usual galleries, widens the provenance landscape of his catalogue and reflects the varied channels through which his editions reached collectors in 2010.
Collector Perspective
An edition of 25 makes this genuinely scarce and appealing to collectors seeking tighter runs. Signed and numbered authentication supports resale confidence. The manageable 56 x 76 cm size and pointed title give it strong display character for buyers drawn to D*Face's satirical, protest-adjacent voice.
Historical Context
Don't Panic operated as a cultural platform and print publisher active in the UK during this era, distributing artist editions beyond the traditional gallery circuit. A 2010 D*Face edition through this channel illustrates how urban artists diversified their release partners as demand for limited prints accelerated.
