DAVID FLORES - Stained Glass' Street Art

David Flores was born in Tulare, California. After graduation (Graphic design) he began his career as a commercial artist in the skateboarding industry.
David Flores, a LA-based artist who’s best known for a unique style (mosaic or segmented style) that embellishes another work of art rather than painting over it.
Flores is known for reworking iconography in a new and different way; thus giving the original image a completely postmodern aesthetic.  He layered his colorful renderings over the large scale photographs in such a way that the original piece still kept its essence. The end result was an postmodern mixture of two very different styles.

D*FACE - A Street Artist from London

Dean Stockton is better known as D*Face; is a play on the word "deface" which is how many view the art of street artists in general when it shows up on public property. In that sense, Stockton plays directly into the public opinion that street artists 'deface property'. While that may be true street artists such as D*Face also contribute to society even if their actions may be considered legally destructive depending on how they convey their artistic vision on a surface.
