Expirement #6

Spray paint is a versatile, fast-drying aerosol medium known for vibrant colors, smooth coverage on diverse surfaces (metal, wood, canvas, paper), and its role in street art/graffiti, offering artists speed, portability, and unique control through different nozzles (caps) for detailed or broad applications, often used in mixed media for backgrounds or layering. While historically for graffiti, modern art brands offer low-odor, pigment-rich, water-based options for studio use, demanding practice for technique but enabling quick, large-scale art. Born in an egg on a mountain top, Dave the Chimp paints graffiti without his name, and makes fanzines to switch on your brain. He runs the 243rd Skateboarding Support Battalion, helped create Big Cheese Magazine and was a founder member of Finders Keepers Crew (along with D*Face, PMH, and Mysterious Al). He was head designer at Hessen Metal Skateboard Hardware and Artist in Residence at design/advertising agency Fold7. His work has been published in such books as "Scrawl 2 - More Dirt", "Zines" and "Blower" (Booth Clibborn), "Concrete To Canvas" (Laurence King) "The Art of Rebellion 1 & 2", "Izastickup", and the Dazed and Confused book "Annual", as well as appearing everywhere from children's books for Hodder, tour posters for MTV, and number 1 UK singles, to the bottom of Burton Snowboards. He has exhibited in London, Tokyo, Paris, Portland (Oregon), Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Milano and Barcelona. He has worked on collaborations with Flying Fortress (under the name Visual Rock Stars) and murals and large abstract posters with the likes of Ekta, Nomad, and Product Two. 2006 saw his directorial debut, with a video for the band Robots in Disguise (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES672S-XdJ0), and he has since directed a further video for them, another for the Puppini
