Dave the Chimp ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Street Art โข For Sale, by romanywg on May 9, 2008 22:12:01 GMT 1, Just heard from one of M-Citys friends. He just wanted it known that as both Poland and London were bombed during the war by the Germans this was his tribute to the UK and he depicted London within the bomb. He's pretty annoyed that it was dogged so fast.
Hopefully he hasn't seen 'The wonderful worm'.

Don't know where to stand on this, what a beautiful message from m-city, but its the street and the M-city piece went over someone else, old school rules (ok I am going on things like Turk 182, arena presents New york subway graffiti and beat street here) dictate thats out of order. So he had every right to go over it, irrespective of whose piece was better.
Gotta say though, would have preferred that he didn't, can chivalry be written into street conduct, you are better than me so so be it kind of thing?

Spot on Slowmo. Pull that stunt in some places and you'd get your arse kicked.

I totally get why people are saying there's nothing wrong with what DTC did too. Sadly his worm thingy could have respected a great piece of street art and adourned another wall close by. Instead he has imo robbed us of an amazing piece, purely in the name of childishness and spite, if quotes in this thread are true... Only someone who's a bit of a knob would call himself an artist and destroy something so great, by desecrating it with that piece of shit!!!. I've seen some cool DTC stuff, but this is just the pits.

And yes I'm sure he had his reasons!!

For me the Can's festival was about celebrating stencil artists from all over the world. There was more than enough space for all, and to reduce it to the petty schoolground attitude exhibited by DTC, when his motives were questioned is simply out of order. All that DTC has succeeded in doing is alienate people, and taken the focus away from his work, which is surely why he stencils in the first place. Maybe if DTC had shown slightly more diplomacy and maturity there would have been 2 large pieces to enjoy / comment on, rather than acting as he did.

I'm enjoying the war, I think Mcity should get back over and paint over DTC's. And i think it should continue for many years. look forward to more photos on Flickr for a long time. This is a good thread. Better than fucking see through plastic!

Definately I think it will force them to come up with wittier and better images everytime to outdo the other one. The only problem mcity have is their work looks like it takes a lot longer than "Chumpy's".

What was an amazing image with what turns out a sensitive message has dropped to a retaliation of by what is generally agreed a lesser piece. It could of waited a while before DTC demonstrated what he is capable of.

It's a shame the M-City piece went so quickly but hey, it's the street, there are no rules so fair game yes? The best outcome would be a response from M-City so that they push each other to produce better things (although imo i feel DTC may have lost this first battle quite easily!)

Banksy admitting it was a crap piece. DTC just seemed to fuck over the m-city work when it was really good.
