Book Description
London based artist Dave the Chimp was one of the first street artists who ventured outside to paint using brushes and acrylic paint. Dave has been extremely prolific in the streets and in galleries and since 1996 has been designing skateboards for German Skateboard label Hessenmob. His original style and bold black lines, all hand-painted, are full of humor and often punctuated with lighthearted social commentary. He has painted anti-smoking and "get out the vote" posters and is often referred to as a "positive" graffiti artist. Many see him as someone just trying to bring a smile to his neighbors faces and some beauty to his run down neighborhood. This is the second publication in the Rebellion Series of monographs that focus on artists featured in the groundbreaking titles Art of Rebellion and Art of Rebellion 2, first published in 2004.
