Gauntlet Gallery — D*Face Print Index
The D*Face Treatment (First Edition)
Summary
This 2021 StolenSpace screen print is a collaboration with Shepard Fairey titled 'Strength in Numbers,' a 4-colour edition of 150 on 350gsm stock at 70 x 100cm. It pairs two of street art's most recognisable figures, D*Face and OBEY's Fairey, on a single large-format sheet.
Why It Matters
A D*Face and Shepard Fairey collaboration unites two major collector followings on one print. Fairey's disciplined graphic style and D*Face's comic-pop sensibility make such crossovers notable events. The 4-colour construction and large format give it presence, while the edition of 150 keeps it meaningfully limited.
Collector Perspective
Cross-artist collaborations between name-brand figures like these are actively tracked by collectors of both. The edition of 150 and large 70 x 100cm scale support desirability. Buyers should confirm the collaborative signing and StolenSpace provenance, as the appeal rests heavily on the verified pairing of the two artists.
Historical Context
Shepard Fairey and D*Face have crossed paths repeatedly within the street-art establishment, and StolenSpace has facilitated collaborative editions bridging their audiences. 'Strength in Numbers,' released in 2021, reflects the collaborative ethos of the movement, where allied artists periodically combine their signatures on shared editions.

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.
