James Dodd is a South Australian artist, arts educator and street artist who used the pseudonym Dlux for his street art when he operated out of Melbourne. ==Career== He began doing street art in Adelaide in 1998, using stencils to mass-produce stickers. Dodd moved to Melbourne around 2002 because of the street-art scene. As Dlux, Dodd was a powerful presence on the Melbourne streets but also undertook a large amount of gallery work, and his stencils were always very politically motivated. As Dlux, Dodd is also featured in the documentary film Rash (2005), which explores the cultural value of street art in Melbourne. He was one of the most active street artists in Melbourne but returned to Adelaide to undertake further studies (Masters in Visual Art, University of South Australia. Since then, his practice has expanded to include painting and sculpture, celebrating Australia's culture of rebellion and resistance.
