Someone should have told him it's the "People I've Known" column, not "People I Brushed Up Against In Los Angeles While Leeching Off My Actually Talented Friends." I know the bar is low, but I still can't believe Thrasher published this garbage.

I mentioned this before, but I have a friend who was teaching at SVA when he was attending. I can't remember any specifics (this was like 2003), and this was before he was known in skating, but I can still remember said friend and all his other faculty members talking about what a piece of shit this guy was

Certainly this piece in Thrasher doesn't run counter to that

He is awful, but seems, several years after the fact, to have inspired this “things kids who are into metal doodle on their notebooks” that Lotties and Baker seems to be really into at the moment.

idk he talks like a Mexican stereotype. Other than the stories of his mischief he doesn't seem like he is a bad person. I will concede that he does seem full of himself but LA does that to people. He seems like a normal person that used to be into mischief when he was younger. That's kinda it seems that people are being hyperbolic.

Some insufferable highlights for those who lost interest.

On Matt Groening: "Matt shook my hand again and then gave me praise like he was bowing down to me. Real recognize real, man."

Talking about himself?: "When Neck first came out, everybody wanted him to do a board. I said “Hell no!” to everybody."

Chappelle: "I actually met him and he told me to “Keep up the good shit.”

Kirsten Dunst?: "I end up at an after party at Mary-Kate Olsen’s house. Yeah, it was one of those nights"

Stevie Wonder: "I yell, “Later, Stevie!” and he looked around in all directions and said, “Bye, Neck!” He recognized my voice."

Banksy: "He came up to me and said he liked my shit. I was already going out every night painting and he said he wanted to come with me. He wrote his number on a piece of paper and told me to call him. Later that night I got to my hotel, grabbed the paper and threw it in the trash before heading out solo once again. Sorry, dog. Neck rides alone."

Derek Riggs: “ I was at a convention and Derek Riggs called me over. “Hey, Neck, I really dig your work,” he said and signed some shit for me.”
AKA "I was stood in line at a convention, they call 'NEXT' and Derek Riggs signs my merch"

This guy either keeps it so real that he makes Matt Groening & Banksy look like begs or he's the worst dude at any party. Keep up the good stories Neck!

Like, I read that as if it were Tim Heidecker playing the character Tim Heidecker - as if Neckface was playing Neckface as a deadpan

But he definitely wasn't

And everybody has nailed it with the quotes and zingers

This dude's burnt , hahahaha

Edit:

Among everything being equally worthy of a roast, the fucking Stevie Wonder story is insane. Dude is blind - people with visual impairments have enhanced audial sensory you fucking loser - no shit he recognized your voice; he relies on sounds for navigating the world you fucking goon LOL

I met Neck at Comic-Con last year. Was shocked as hell he had a booth but I was probably more shocked when I saw Louie the year prior trying to sell My Little Pony Enjoi boards. At any rate, he was cool and hyped to see some other skaters amidst all of the neckbeards (I had my board on me). I bought a print off him.

That being said, those little excerpts were corny af. He didn’t ‘know’ most of those people. And they definitely weren’t his ‘fans’ like he claimed.

https://youtu.be/_UNonK9ztcs

"One summer Harold and I spent the entire summer at Woodward skate camp in Pennsylvania. We would go to nearby State College to get away and just walk around and get food. Walking up and down the main street of the college town, Harold would ask everyone he saw if they had seen the movie Kids. Some would ignore him and others would stop and think hard if they’d seen it. Nobody recognized Harold, but before they could even answer Harold would say, “That’s me, yo!” and just start laughing. I miss Harold Hunter."
 

Harold Hunter had more character in his pinky toe than all these Baker/Deathwish guys combined.

I don't get all the Neckface hate? The dudes own tag is a self burn because hes a fat cunt and no neck profile (hence the beard). Besides that, hes a skater who realised he sucked compared to his mates and took up graffing instead, and thru that channel hes taken his childish shitty demon sketches and made himself into a name that Simpsons artist wanted to meet. That makes me a fan. Fuck the wife wants an 'art piece' in the formal lounge and im wishing I could buy a neckface just to jump onboard the hypebeast.

Yes I believe an orange demon with hairy arms and legs would really complement your formal lounge.  Make sure you get a replica made and hang that one so you can keep the Neckface in a temperature regulated storage facility in anticipation of the day you sell it at Sotheby’s

I met him when he was in Australia and he was just like any other young ratbag at the time. He got up everywhere too so props for that. Still see a few tags here and there. I think it's cool he made his art stuff work out for him. This feature was hard to stomach though. "People i've looked at". "Somebody I stood near (that is famous)"

I'm in the same age group in that regard, however I've never really heard someone remember their dead 'homie' in such a way as this... beating off in a dark room with trash on the floor, eating chicken bones from said trash..  I feel like people always highlighted his humour or charm more than this, might just be me, but I was still waiting for a punchline or something.

Then a few years passed and he was more famous and doing the same stuff. Then a few years passed and he was more famous and doing the same stuff.

This article is so insufferable part of me thinks it’s a joke.

But then again, it’s pretty typical of the Hollywood/Melrose scene.
I’ve lived in LA my entire life and I work in the entertainment industry. I’ve encountered it many many times. I think that people come to Hollywood and feel that they need to live up to shit like this, that they’ve seen presented to them by TMZ and Us Weekly (and now Thrasher too, apparently) and it becomes a self-feeding thing that reflects poorly on everyone that lives here who is basically just making a normal living in a place with nice weather.

The skate scene is really susceptible to this too. It’s already a self congratulatory and egocentric system and when you mix it with celebrity bullshit it just gets out of hand.

sounds like he definitely fell for the old "im banksy" trick tho hahahaha.

i would also prefer if he didnt do interviews or hollywood bs and just painted/bombed instead.

“Banksy gave me his phone number...I threw it on the trash...blah blah I work/run alone....”

If there is one thing he doesn’t do it’s work alone. He is the epitome of “why is that guy with all of these guys”

That being said I hope he comes out with that adult swim cartoon

Surprised he didn't mention cartoonist Johnny Ryan (my profile pic) since Neck has been so heavily influenced by him over the years and now they hang out together. Pretty sure it was Neckface who got Johnny some gigs in the skate industry (Deathwish being the latest). Maybe he isn't famous enough for that sort of article though.

Dude why put down The NEck when you could pay tribute to his VALOR as a TAG MAN

Seriously though, if his tags had any purpose we might consider sparing him. But the dude literally sprays NECKFACE on shit - like wow, that really makes a difference in society.

Shoulda called himself Neckass

One could easily say the same thing for skateboarding. Interesting that so many skaters here shit on graffiti culture (not just NF but in general), as both cultures share many common parallels.

like i said, not a fan of his art or personality, but the balls it takes to get up as frequently as he does is a "talent" in itself. Pretty impressive imo, whether u paint or not.

again, i dont really back the guy, but respect that he does his thing. just think a lot of people on here shitting on his tags have never painted themselves and dont realize the effort it takes.

feel free to roast his personality all you want tho

I mentioned this before, but I have a friend who was teaching at SVA when he was attending. I can't remember any specifics (this was like 2003), and this was before he was known in skating, but I can still remember said friend and all his other faculty members talking about what a piece of shit this guy was

Certainly this piece in Thrasher doesn't run counter to that

Anything specific you remember them saying?

No, if they said anything specific, it's long since forgotten. Remember, this is when he was just a tagger in New York, not a figure in the skate scene. My memory is that we were walking through a rapidly gentrifying ~2003 Brooklyn and I saw a "NECKFACE" tag on a building, read it out loud, and then started getting yelled at by multiple instructors from a prestigious art school. It didn't stand out except that I would see his name a few years later in Thrasher

Or

Bragging to the whole damn world about it like some fame desperate pose?

I mean if that's not corny, I don't know what is. This ain't the behaviour of a writer. How the fuck has this guy got rep over there? Half of the fucking game is keeping your mouth fucking shut, this guy got snitch written all over him. Should be a warning sign to anyone around this big mouth.

I like Neckface. He was super cool to me when I met him in real life and I’m nothing special. Truthfully he was super cool to a bunch of the people that fanned out on him.  He was like signing autographs and shit just walking down the street in Mexico City. I  think he probably turns it all up a little when he writes stuff like this but I bet it’s all true, plus he’s down to tarnish his own name. He’s raw. I respect that.  and even if it’s not all true  it’s pretty entertaining to read.

I don't get all the Neckface hate? The dudes own tag is a self burn because hes a fat cunt and no neck profile (hence the beard). Besides that, hes a skater who realised he sucked compared to his mates and took up graffing instead, and thru that channel hes taken his childish shitty demon sketches and made himself into a name that Simpsons artist wanted to meet. That makes me a fan. Fuck the wife wants an 'art piece' in the formal lounge and im wishing I could buy a neckface just to jump onboard the hypebeast.

thats not why he writes neckface. her's told the origin story of his word mad times

Pretty much this. Altough, I'm very curious about the Banksy story. I think he told that same story when he was on the 9club but I call bullshit on the whole thing (unlike Crob and the gang who were too polite too question it). Sorry, Neck, but that shit just didn't happen.
