Defacing Icons - D*face Rips Marilyn, Lennon, Cobain, El Che, The Queen of England

D*face is a street graffiti artist from Britain who also does indoor shows. As you can see D*face likes to deface in a bit of a morbid way, images of people or symbols revered as pop culture icons or ideological icons such as Andy Warhol's famous renditions of Marilyn Monroe. D*face also worked on images of John Lennon, Nirvana's tragic frontman Kurt Cobain, The Queen of England, Che Guevara, Superman, Saddam Hussein, the American dollar and the Statue of Liberty.

The Amazingly Beautiful Street Art of Julian Beever

Julian Beever is a British artist who has spent 10 years creating pavement art in Europe, USA and Australia. Many of his creations are optical illusions, such as the one you will see in the video where Julian appears to be perched on a ledge, waiting for Batman and Robin to climb the building and rescue him. In reality, there is just pavement in front of him, and the street below together with the expectant crowd, plus the blazing building below him, are all tricks played on the eye.
