D Face
The Unveiling
Monday 20th April, 2009
At 10.01am on this day D*Face unveiled his amazing 'Loudhailer' sculpture in front of Melbourne's iconic big mouth, Luna Park. Lovingly crafted from wood, reinforced fiberglass, resin and drool (by Melbourne sculpture artist Roger Mitchell) the Loudhailer has already proved a traffic stopper with locals and the occasional dog.
The Party
How many people can you fit inside a Big Mouth? Hundreds apparently. With carnie food, drinks, free rides all night, and an amazing outdoor gallery featuring artwork from D*Face, the official launch of the Big Mouth Project at St Kilda's Luna Park was big in every way.

D*Face Bio
D*Face is a London-based sculptor and stencil artist, who uses London as his own personal gallery. Sticking, pasting and drawing on any wall or space he doesn't actually own. Known for his subversive images, which involve a family of dysfunctional characters whose roles are to shock as well as entertain, his work challenges orthodox thinking whilst sticking two fingers up at the establishment. An associate of Banksy, he has shown works at the world famous Santa's Ghetto and recently had his own solo exhibition at the Stolen Space gallery in East London.
