Pop-Eye-Con (First Edition)
Summary
"Pop-Eye-Con" (2014) is a signed and numbered serigraph, edition of 200, at 24 x 34 inches, printed on 100% cotton rag archival paper with deckled edges and carrying the Art Alliance publishing chop. It was issued as part of the Provocateurs Print Portfolio, a ten-artist set.
Why It Matters
The Provocateurs portfolio context grounds this print in a curated group release alongside nine other artists. The pun-driven title layers pop, eye, and icon into a single riff on visual celebrity, and the Art Alliance chop plus deckled cotton-rag stock signal a high-specification editioning.
Collector Perspective
The Art Alliance publishing chop in the lower-left corner is a useful authentication marker. With 200 impressions and premium archival paper, condition should hold well over time. Collectors may acquire the print individually or seek the full ten-artist portfolio, which carries added completeness value for portfolio-focused buyers.

Produced in 2014 through Art Alliance for the Provocateurs Print Portfolio, the piece situates D*Face among a curated roster of provocative image-makers.

About the Artist
D*Face is the working name of Dean Stockton (born 1978, London), a British street artist and a leading figure in the UK urban-contemporary scene. Drawing on comic books, pop art, skate graphics, and consumer iconography, he developed a signature cast of characters — winged "D*Dog" motifs, skull-faced pin-ups, and subverted Americana — rendered in bold, Lichtenstein-indebted lines. From stickers and street work in the early 2000s, he built a substantial studio practice of paintings, sculpture, and signed prints, founded the StolenSpace Gallery in London, and has collaborated widely across music and fashion.
