If anyone wants one, you can find them here:- www.urbanangel.com/department/grafter/And we should be having a special Remi/Rough - Grafter colab canvas very soon:) Andrew
I bought the last white canvas I was kind of hoping that these would have been available for a little while longer, but there has been quite the recent scramble for Splash, and I knew that I had to act now or I was going to be out of luck.

Grafter is a top bloke, by Happy Shopper on Jan 17, 2009 0:20:16 GMT 1, Obviously pretty good with a stencil, but there doesn't seem to be much of an idea behind his work. I find it a bit pointless. Do you only like artist that offer a clear message in their work?
Hasn't got to be a clear message, but more than a pretty picture would be nice. A couple of Grafter's are good, but the whole style has been done and done better, and he's not taking anything further or doing it with any extra style.
Someone mentioned pictures of fruit and flowers, but don't forget someone did that first too, and everyone copied, then someone did it differently, and everyone copied...

just saw these off Slater st brick lane. BAD is not the word.IMO they are dreadful. Good examples of what street art should not be about a kind of layman's attempt at having a go

Sorry I disagree, I think that's exactly what street art is about, art that anyone and everyone can get involved in.

Included also was a free Lola on paper which is really lovely. I reckon the versions on glass will be awesome. Thanks a million Grafter 10/10.

Grafter is a top bloke, by retroboy on Jan 22, 2009 19:16:36 GMT 1, Been meaning to post this for a while but been trying to get some decent pics. These will have to do...
This was a commission for my better halfs 30th birthday. She loved the original image so I contacted Grafter to see if he could come up with something for her. I told him her favourite colour was purple and wanted to incorporate her name and birth date into the seeds - he did it so well it's barely noticeable unless you look for it - I've enhanced the second photo so you can just make it out. All this completed and delivered exactly on time for her surprise birthday party and she was absolutely made up with it.
I tracked down Grafter at Upfest to meet and thank him personally and he was a top chap, gracious, polite and even gave my girlfriend some freebies.
Top man Grafter. Thanks again

He sent me a Forgotten More Than Most early on when he first started posting and he was made up with the encouragement and kind words given by a few members on here. The personal dedication on my print makes it a really special piece for me. I wish him every success.

Grafter is a top bloke, by cadeallaw on Jan 23, 2009 16:46:07 GMT 1, I haven't gotten my "free stuff" yet, but I got my white splash canvas today from urban angel... Wow, very incredible. The 'splash' on the canvas doesn't look anything like the splash pic on urbanangel.com (which from the pic looks thin and the least impressive out of the wood and the paper pieces): www.urbanangel.com/product/splash_white/ The splash is much more random and very thick... I'm so glad that I decided to pick this up. Amazing job Grafter

Grafter is a top bloke, by goaty on Jan 23, 2009 17:21:21 GMT 1, Just had a look at the Urban Angel website and some of the reductions they are offering on pieces are huge!!
A Blek Le Rat piece was ยฃ12,500, now ยฃ7,500. A Neate Piece was ยฃ8,000, now ยฃ4,000.
Even more reductions on the artists they represent.
Only thing is I think it kind of damages the integrity of the artists.

Also, I think its odd that only the white Splash is getting recognition.

I just liked the white one a little bit more... having said that, if white canvas would have been sold out, i would have gotten another color (not sure which I like more... blue or red).
