We were sad to hear that Swiss graffiti legend Dare The Wild Side / Love Letters crew passed away recently after a short battle with cancer. Sigi von Koeding died in a Swiss hospital at the age of 42.

Dare is well respected as one of the European graffiti style masters, with his background in calligraphy and sign-writing giving him a unique and solid understanding of the letterform. Dare was known not only for his graffiti but for his foray into the fine art world, regularly exhibiting his graffiti influenced canvas works around Europe and the world, and in a scene where for many ego is out of control, he was also well known for being down to earth and a laid back guy.

RIP brother
