Hear, hear!

So much better than the mindless and ubiquitous ‘tagging’. Wish there was more of it.

Second that it’s not the same piece in the slideshow.
The one in the slideshow was being worked on when I visited Lyneham recently. Not sure if they got a grant/permission to do it but I would think they did. These guys looked like they were just waiting for someone to challenge them on the legality of it so they could produce their letter from TAMS. There were a few fully sik cars parked there with empty beer bottles resting on top and what looked like gangstas in hoodies loitering around. Didn’t give off the air of professionals but they had taped the area to ensure public safety.
I’m all for it – and have noticed there’s been a lot of new work going up lately. The wall in Garema near the old JB has also been recently painted in a jungle theme.

The piece in that slide show, while very good, is not the same artwork.

Shhh!

He’s the greatest,
He’s fantastic,
Wherever there is danger he’ll be there!
Hes the ace,
He’s amazing,
He’s the strongest, he’s the quickest, he’s the best!
Dangermouse,
Dangermouse,
Dangermouse!

OMG, I WANT that on the side of my garage! I’m lucky enough to have the Danger Mouse DVD (series 1) picked up in the kids section (harumph!) of Revolution CD Woden 2 years ago and the other day I saw “retro style” DM T-shirts for $24 at Big W.

Bwwaaaahaaa! I want Dangermouse DVDs! I also have a fence at home where that mural would be perfect. How much would it cost to have done and who would do it? More importantly, who would convince my wife to let me have it done?

Dangermouse is the greatest. The only other superhero that comes close is The Tick.

Sure ‘The Tick’ is American but the cast of characters (Die Fledermouse, American Maid, Sewer Urchin, Mighty Agrippa – Roman God of the Aqueduct, Paul the Samuri and Bumbling Bee, to name a few) as well as the premise are hilarious.

That’s cool. I love Dangermouse.
