Last week, one of Banksy’s illegal works was turned into a small fortune as the London building owner sold the painting on eBay, wall included, for £208,100.00 (over $400,000 USD). While it remains to be seen whether the winning bidder actually pays, it’s easy to see how all those dollar signs prompted others to put their graffiti covered property up for sale. This week, there are two vans painted painted by well known New York graffiti writers and street artists on the auction block.

Closed Casket, the first NYC show by Neckface is opening tomorrow, not surprisingly on Halloween, at Dactyl. The opening reception is tonight at 64 Grand Street and the show runs through November 24th.

With the upcoming show, Dazed Digital just published “an uncomfortably intimate look into Neckface’s world.” You can read and watch it here. Intimate, yes. Uncomfortable, no (besides the photos at The Box).

The New York Times writes that the Neckface Vans billboard that got splashed earlier this month was replaced. Also, see how they so innocently drop Cam’ron’s line, “Go get your wet wipes,” in the lead paragraph.

The Epicly Later’d show on VBS.TV took a break from filming pro skaters to catch up with pro graffiti writer, Neckface. Check it out for all the live action, paper mache tips, and other shenanigans you’d expect from the dude.

The aNYthing glob pointed out a couple of “phoney baloney” Neckface drawings being auctioned off on Ebay. Considering Neckface’s ominpresence on the glob, we don’t question it. The seller writes:

Original neckface drawing from his Witchhunt show at the New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles in 2004. The piece is signed on the back in pencil and measures 8″ by 10″.

I purchased the piece locally from a collector who had a few pieces of Neckface’s work.

It’s pretty suspect that many dozens of photos of the show’s work at New Image Art Gallery and Flickr fail to capture these drawings. “Original Neckface Style Drawing” would be accurate. They look like a Sharpie drawn parody.

If you were considering the seller’s “Authentic Gucci Monagram Clutch Handbag New In Box” or “Rare RADIOHEAD Autographed CD Booklet,” you might reconsider.
