Neck Face's style can be described as naïve and scratchy. His themes have a bloody, violent and medieval feel to them. Obvious influences are heavy metal and latrinalia. His gallery works stay true to his style, and include drawings and paintings, as well as metal masks, felt installations, and sculptures. In 2005, his work was prominently visible from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. He has painted throughout the United States, and in Melbourne, Sydney, Copenhagen, and Tokyo.

He started around 1996 by making stickers and putting them up in Stockton and Lodi, California. Then his work spread to San Francisco. The attention he received from his street work allowed him to move into art galleries. Neck Face's first gallery show was in 2004 when he was 18 years old, sponsored by Rich Jacobs and held at New Image Art gallery in West Hollywood, California. He's shown in the New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles, the Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco, One Grand Gallery in Portland, the Dactyl Foundation in New York, and the OHWOW Gallery in Miami. As a skateboarder, Neck Face has helped design for Baker Skateboards, and is the Art Director for Baker Skateboards. Neck Face has also collaborated with Vans, Stüssy and Altamont Apparel. His first skateboard art was for famous skateboarder Mark Gonzales. The then 18-year-old Neck Face was asked to provide a design for the Krooked board. After his first board with Gonzales he was introduced to Kevin 'Spanky' Long and started to create boards for him and the Baker skateboard brand.
