TWO-PENCE is the combination of two UK based artists utilizing sketch, computer, paint, photography and graffiti skills. Producing work for a mixture of print, clothing, canvas and web based projects with the intention of bringing the often dull surroundings to life.
The collaboration came about as a creative outlet after university graduation. Two-Pence initially started out as Dan's digital interpretation of Deus's sketch work, but progressed into something more dynamic as individual skills progressed through live art events, and careers in the graphic design industry.
Although primarily an art lead movement, Two-Pence has produced work for canvas companies, prepared installations and undertaken various branding projects. Most recently completing commissions from clothing companies Bench and Dephect. Clients include:
