It is a jungle out there, and I have said it many times on Natural Adventures, and it can be hard to follow the protocols and conventions at times. Dirtygypo has painted this small piece over a birthday tribute piece for Minto. During the same visit (I assume) he tagged a piece at the entrance of the tunnel by Logoe and Mamil, who had previously painted over a tribute piece to Dorns under Brunel Way. It is a pity that there is quite a lot of strife around these things, as most artists are good and simply want to paint walls. The ‘rules’ such as they are tend to be interpreted in the interests of those who adopt or ignore them. In my view the rules are ‘there are no rules’.
I really like Dirtygypo’s writing, and am slowly beginning to get to grips with his letters. The artist gives us a clue with this writing with the word QUICHE in the bottom right. Look carefully at his graffiti writing and you can make out each of the letters. The Q and U are separated by a yellow lightening bolt. The I is a very slender light blue line, the C and E in dark blue sandwich a very slim H. It is all there, but beautifully disguised. A cracking small piece from Dirtygypo.
I was told recently that Corupt (my name for him, taken from the word he writes most commonly) is held in very high regard in his native Hungary, and it is easy to see why. His work oozes class and experience and rarely, if ever disappoints.
