Roll up! Roll up! It's time for Chimp's Lucky Dip! Everyone's a winner! A beautiful, one-off, hand crafted "Human Bein" painting is the prize for everyone who takes part. Plus, because Christmas is nearly here, we'll throw in a copy of the "Searching For The Perfect Line" zine (from my show at Vicious Gallery), and a copy of the two-colour "Vanzine" (which folds out into an A2 poster). The perfect stocking filler for you or a loved one. Sounds good huh? It is – but nothing in life is that simple! This game involves a little gamble, a little risk, and a little trust… Here's how it works: I have 60 of these "Human Bein" paintings to sell. Each one is different. I made 130 of these for a show in Essen, and sold each one real cheap so as many people as possible could own a small piece of art. And now I make them available to you! But unlike the people of Essen, you don't get to choose which one you get – that's where the "Lucky Dip" element comes in to play! It's a gamble, but not much risk, as each of these paintings is great. The risk element, and the trust, comes from the fact that the only way to get one of these is to mail me 20 euros cash! Are you willing to put your trust in the Postal Service, and put your hard earned cash into the hands of a stranger...?
So, you wanna play? Then email me for the mailing address and more details… davethechimp@gmail.com - subject: Lucky DipHere's my interview in the latest issue of Monster skateboard magazine, and here's an online interview with me (with Spanish subtitles) for all of you that don't speak German: "I live in Berlin. I'm a European" Robots In Disguise - 'I live in Berlin'
my friend Dscreet just finished some little documentaries about my favourite London destroyers/creators - BC Crew (Burning Candy, Before Chrome) there's one movie for each member - Cyclops, Sweet Toof, and Tek 33 (who I went to college with when I was 16! his paintings were rad even then) enjoy
just came across this photo on the internet yup, that's one of my pieces hanging next to a Banksy (with a Space Invader and Shepard Fairey to the left) part of the show "For Your Information" at the Don Gallery in Milano also featuring Doze Green, Will Barras, Antony Lister, Barry McGee, Ron English, and a host of others it's time to start your art collection while I'm still cheap! click on the "For Sale" section to the left before it's too late! ;-)
Dogway magazine just posted a little interview with me (about the Vans shoes) on their site http://dogwaymedia.com/video.php?id=1626 and on Wednesday 26th of November another film will be uploaded on www.skatefilms.tv (I think the second one is a little more interesting...)
when real life is this great, who needs art!?
I got a three page article in the latest issue of Monster Magazine, available in all good German skateshops.
The interview is all in German - if only I could speak it that well (I'm at school studying German at the moment. I'm not only the worst student in the class, but the oldest. two more reasons to feel good about myself!)
new paintings available now! check the "For Sale" section to the left...
I invented a new game, and I invite you all to play it
-------- OPEN DOOR – A Game created by Dave the Chimp For one or more players
The Aim Of The Game: To walk through as many open doors as possible, without passing back through a door you already went through. The winner is the player with the most points.
The Rules: You can start a 'round' of OPEN DOOR at any time in any place, simply by saying out loud the words "OPEN DOOR". You score one point for every open door you pass through. You cannot open any doors, you may only walk through doorways already open, or in the process of being opened by other people not participating in the round. You cannot ask a person to open a door for you. There is no time limit to the rounds. A round comes to an end if: You pass through a door previously passed through in that round. You open a door yourself.
Advice: Carry a print out of these rules with you at all times, as you may need to explain why you are in a strangers bedroom, or sitting in their car!
Viel Spaß!
for all of you that couldn't make it, the internet is proud to present
Dave the Chimp x Vans Launch Party enjoy! I know I sure did!!!
