WALKER IN LA.... PART DEUX!, by Replete on Mar 9, 2009 17:56:48 GMT 1, A Handplant is a old school skateboard trick and it is LA in California where the sport originated if that is any help.

WALKER IN LA.... PART DEUX!, by chrisps303 on Mar 9, 2009 20:14:16 GMT 1, All I will say is that at least Nick is out there doing it!! Too many 'street' artists selling stuff without actually having the balls or the skill to produce anything on the street! Fair play Nick, keep up the good work fella!! Hell yeah it's great getting work up in public space but does it never occur to you people that a very public, auction selling artist, who's face is seen in many pictures and in TV interviews would be very very stupid to do illegal work. Comments like those highlighted above are why I get confused with why there is any difference between a legal wall 'on the street' or someone who doesn't do street? I suppose if I had bought into an artists I would prefer the fairy tale rather than the reality.
I am pretty certain there are a few well known artists that still paste/paint illegally.

WALKER IN LA.... PART DEUX!, by thx1138 on Mar 9, 2009 21:01:42 GMT 1, I see the hand holding the can differently....it's more like the hand is tempting/giving you a spraycan so you can tag up the wall?.......either way it's a crackin' piece....next time you're done lunching at the Ivy, walk a block south and make a left to see for yourselves....before Tox'09 or the Splasher ruins it.....

WALKER IN LA.... PART DEUX!, by cashman on Mar 10, 2009 0:06:43 GMT 1, Cashman, You dont think it takes skill with a can to get that kind of detail? I thought that was a real planter before taking a closer look. I dont mean to disrespect you but i cut stencils and get out on the street and this is some of the cleanest cutting and spraying out there.. Mr. Walker is one of the only guys out there that is maticulous with his work. I have never seen a bad cut or spray coming out of Walker. I think its real easy to talk s**t if you dont cut stencils or use a spraycan, but believe me Nick makes s**t look real easy and its most definitely not easy. Keep up the good work Walker, thanks for blessing us in L.A. with your street work.
Fair play, imo its just a stencil for stencils sake.....what is it supposed to mean ? If I wanted a pretty Id go check logan hicks or another photorealitic stencilist. Sorry if you think im talking shit, but believe it or not I have used a spray can before and Ive spent my fare share of hours cutting stencils so I can appreciate the time it takes... but its the end result that im looking at and im not impressed
I was just pointing out that IMO Walkers work is a bit...meh

Adam Neate recently found himself staring down the business end of a Brazilian police officers gun as a result of a bit of illegal painting, (or un-permission based creativity as he likes to call it)
