I dont think either piece is actually that far removed. Looks like two guys bereft of a decent idea, but inspired enough to want to help.

Well the monkey at cans was probably a dig at faux guerilla artists, who paint using cans onto walls under the 'urban tag' to sell unoriginal art which otherwise is no better than wallpaper, but sells because they are underground?

There is something ironic with it that gets me interested! But I would never spend thousands of pounds on it! Loads better then the Walker canvas tho!!

Could not have given a better explanation myself, but we were going the same way..these so called artists greating art no better than wallpaper is the message I got from both pieces. So I think we are in agreement?
PUD- I'm not trying to BS anyone, I just don't understand what is appealing about Nick Walker's art on a personal level. I think with all that being said above this piece says more when put up against anything in Walker's body of work. I don't think it is as pretty as something from the morning after series either, but the meaning makes it a nicer piece for me personally

Fairenuf!
Just feel the statement was a little sweeping! I seriously struggle to understand why people want to 'bash' Nick as a person or artist so often!
I personally don't like the giraffitti image (at all) I wouldn't hang it on my wall and thats all that really needs to be said! The morning after series and the Apish Angel images are excellent IMO.
All artists are open to constructive criticism but to purely right off a whole artists body of work in one sweeping statement just doesn't wash with me!
some of the street art Nick has produced in the past few years has been amazing, other pieces pretty poor. But truth is the same could be said about our beloved Banksy. This canvas is possibly the worst executed piece I have seen by him, it looks bloody awful. Banksy also has a deeper meaning to most of his work which generally allows him to get away with poor quality, this one has failed on both accounts. Love Banksy's work but left unaffected by this one!
Putting all that aside, the two artists have produced work for auction and charity, fair play to both of them, regardless of the product, the charity is the winner!!

Banksy - Go Flock Yourself, by angel41 on Feb 12, 2009 10:28:02 GMT 1, I judge each piece of art on it's own merit and let's face it the Banksy and the Walker for this auction are both very poor and half hearted. The worrying thing is that these are two of the biggest names in the scene and this is quite a high profile charity auction.
If you knew nothing about Urban/Street art and saw these 2 pieces would you be converted?

Banksy - Go Flock Yourself, by Deleted on Feb 12, 2009 10:34:42 GMT 1, one's done a stencil that would sit happily in the background of play school...the other a pun, that's half decent
there's no doubt Nick has skills, unfortunately the vandal series does leave him open to alot of criticism purely because it's now verrrrry tired and flogging a dead horse comes to mind
social commentary is B's field, Walker likes his graf but needs to find his stride again - ghetto ghost is still head and shoulders his best work
but reading above that B has done some 'poorly executed' stencils doesn't sit well with me - apart from dolk I'm hard push to think of anyone who executes stencils as well as him
