Couldnt be arsed copy-n-pasting the whole story . . . from what i lazily red while trying to find the most ridiculous photo of him - is that he died of an accidental overdose . . . if anything i think he should have sued that shite Irish band who had a song named after him - theyre fuckin rubbish and so are their faces
After hearing the sad news that Dare TWS had passed - I thought I had to write a few words out of respect to the man.
Since I was kid starting out painting - Dare had always been a constant inspiration and really innovator with techniques and color combinations.
His sketches were always really fresh and had such a nice balance and flow to them. There was never too many tricks or kicks on his letters and the colors he chose were always banging - ive never seen a bad piece by Dare . When he used to ad a darker shade to the 3d - it was always perfect and he was the first to do the semi 3d flat letter pieces - knowing that fully 3d is wack and its always about the letterform - he never changed his style dramatically to suit trends or gimmicks - he kept it true to his own style and always pushed it and kept it moving.
He will be sorely missed and never forgotten - Dare TWS - Rest in Paradise . . .
I am going to put up a piece by him everyday for the next month just to remind you how fresh he is . . .
Hi. I write Skore, I write graffiti in and around London and I’ve been doing it now for 26 years
Red, white and black, although if I ever had my own spray-can colour it would be ‘Skore turquoise blue buntlack’…….
If I picked my favourite 5 pieces they would all be from Subway Art… Mitch-Seen, Sab-Kaze, 2Many, Noc’s Style Wars, Duster-Lizzie
From Europe I guess it would be people like The Chrome Angelz, The London Giants, Tuf Arts, The Cold Crush Dukes…… as you can see I fell in love with Graffiti many years ago when iconic pieces meant something… Nowadays everytime I visit flickr I can see 20 amazing pieces but they are instantly forgotten and replaced by another 20…. The internet has made generic pieces that are painted for a web audience - in the old days pieces were timeless, and meant something within a localised scene. Droves of people would travel for miles to come and stare at these amazing works… Nowadays it’s often a collection of the latest fads, cliches, gimics and trends…
London. I never fall out of love for it and discover something new here every single day.
I also love New York for obvious reasons, and Bangkok because it is just so alive…… and so mental!
Indian / Lager (Alpine from Sam Smiths is nice and cheap!)
As a young-un it definitely used to be porn. Lol. But the internet has cured me of that one… Nowadays, I don’t really have one….. Maybe the constant urge to go travelling!
Definitely having to be a jerk, and go to work.
8. Favourite shoe?
Shuto.
Just off the top of my head without too much thought….
Madness - It must be love
The Verve - Lucky man
John Lennon - Working Class Hero
The Jam - English Rose
Kings of Leon - Be somebody….
Somewhere in the sun with my girlfriend….
I’d hate to say. I guess there would be a few faces people would recognise from the UK music and graffiti worlds, both old and new….
David Icke, Patrick Vieira, my Dad…..
Graffiti, my girlfriend, Arsenal football club
In my life I have met some remarkable people, got myself in some of the maddest situations, been witness to some amazing times and been to some incredible places….. I’m not really a believer in luck… hard-work and determination breaks through all the bad times….
Fare evasion, and then cautioned for losing my temper with the cxnt!
cup of tea, telephone, sun newspaper, computer screen, work-colleagues…..
My girlfriend and my hard-disk……
Own a hot-tub, a camper van, and have a family……
Listening to nursery rimes at pre-school…
20. any upcoming projects- shouts – final words !
Projects: Building a patio in my garden and the infamous non-book. Lol
Shouts: To everyone I know, I would have still done it without you all but it wouldn’t have been such fun….
Final words: Rest in peace King Dare……. never forgotten

This came about from me trying to find the video of Barrymore on Celebrity Big Brother a few years ago when they made him smash eggs on his head. Some of the eggs were raw - some were boiled so it was like a russian roulette vibe. . . when he did get a result the look on his face as yolk ran down it was something i will never forget - it was like watching somebody crumbling before your eyes. . .why he went on the show I cant understand . . .its easy to work out whether his career is at the top,middle or bottom
