Most of his images play with irony, its a shame you cant realise that.
Stop taking it so seriously.

The problem with the current flavor of the month hip artist processing is that they get wrung out so hard that nobody gives a fuck a year later. Consume, consume, consume and then eventual regret. The internet age has skewed things in the wrong direction...it used to take years for artists to become known and by that time, they would have mastered their art and evolved. These days, just grab some guy who scribbles and give him some hipster gear and he’s ready for the Whitney. And then in 6 months he’s an art punch line and a cautionary tale to other up and coming artists.

This shit is so played out. Vice needs to find some original material, get some new ideas.

This is what art school does to people. Sadly, some of those masks might be worth $40,000 in 20 years.

I don’t even have an opinion other than every internet hater I’ve met in real life has been a no life skinny little fuck that my retarded 8 year ld sister could knock clean the fuck out.

Some internet generalisations are true, "I’m so E-elite, I hate everything".

I’m now going to go have sex with my stunning Asian girlfriend while all you fags whine about shit on the net, BYE!! :-]

So now he sucks because you heard a rumor that someone punched him? Can you people just say to yourselves "I don’t like this" then move on to finding something you do like.

lololololol look at me im a photographer!221?!@one.

go get a photographic fucking education, then come back with something even reasonably passable as a good photograph. no merit, none of it. all you idiots saying ’stop hating on this d00d’ are rejects too, go pick up a REAL photographic book and see what it’s actually all about - down with this new age shit, where everyone who owns a canon digital rebel thinks they’re a pro - wankers.

i think the masks one and the one with the hands are just visually appealing. the hands one has a bold composition. and i like the mysterious symmetry in the masks one.

you can tell that some of the others (like him in costume holding props) are just fun photos. i’m through being cool too, just be yourself, have the fucking time of your life doing little things.

too lazy to sign the fuck in,

i don’t understand why so many people are hellbent on hating on neckface? neckface does whatever the fuck he wants and he makes good images. sure. there are plenty of artists out there that are better than he is but guess what? he has somehow made a name for himself, which is the hardest part of being an artist. he didn’t slice up a cow or anything. he’s a graff guy who makes things that bridge many gaps. don’t like it? SHUT UP. do something you judgemental hipster piece of shit. you don’t do ANYTHING. just get on becoming whatever you’re going to become... put on a matador outfit you piece of shit matador.
