D*Face’s More Punk Than You Punk, draws heavy inspiration from the iconic imagery of Queen Elizabeth and the Sex Pistols, distorting the raw defiance of punk’s most rebellious moments with a contempoarary irony focused at the contradictions of the anti-establishemnt starnds of the punk movement in application to todays current ideological turf wars. The piece references the infamous 1977 God Save the Queen single by the Sex Pistols, where the Queen’s image was used to challenge authority and the status quo. D*Face appropriates this rebellious energy, reimagining the Queen in a striking, almost caricatured form, blending royal symbolism with punk aesthetics. The use of bold colors and graphic style underscores punk's anti-establishment ethos and its confrontation with tradition but now recontextualised within the self-depricating, unserious imaginary of the street art movement.
