Nick Walker - BRATZ , by thx1138 on Aug 8, 2009 10:11:18 GMT 1, Finally got a chance to see this in person, came late in the day so missed a pic of actual foot traffic that surprisingly looks exactly like this stencil....
Beautiful 6ft. custom job by Mr. Walker, the sheer craftsmanship of this piece is admirable....exuisite multi layered stencil work with subliminal freehand techniques.
Great location great idea (Highland/Santa Monica'ish)
I want these all over town in different outfits....
now I gotta check out the Beverly Hills Cheewawa.....

Not everything has to be commodified into a print or editioned canvas.
I think it works very well as a street piece in LA.

Well said Sand, why does everyone presume every graf will turn into a print, nice work from Nick, seems to be getting back to form stateside, good for him

Artistically (as I said) it's good, but I never said it would be turned into a print, I merely stated that it would not be the sort of thing many people would hang on their wall. It is an odd subject matter for Nick though....

Nick Walker - BRATZ , by kay7four on Aug 9, 2009 9:10:34 GMT 1, I think this is exactly what Nick should be doing. This is a street piece and not for canvas. This and the Cheewawa piece are perfect street hits for Los Angeles and I doubt Mr. Walker intended for us to wait for the prints to come out. I may be wrong but I say well fookin done Mr. Walker, great commentary on the city we live in.

I think he should spend some time concentrating on street work and take a break from the whole sales side for a while and just have some fun and build a new body of work.

All they make think is how shallow LA must be, as these seem to emphasise that - with their lack of heart

I hope it doesn't make a print and, whether you like this or not, is be good to see some new NW ideas.

Like Nicole Richie for example.
Hence"Does my head look big in this"

Always think its interesting that over the years you can start to get to know the stencil cutting style of Artists, and you can really see Nick Walkers in the hair and clothes of this piece.

Good to see you continue to contribute to the forum in a positive manner 
If you're going to call something 'AWFUL' at least give the reasoning behind your opinion. Or do you not have enough intelligence to critique a piece without a one word reply?

I love this piece. Bit more humour than his usual work. Maybe we'll see the Bratz doll popping up on the next TMA print?
We're due a final TMA print soon aren't we?

Are we? I thought the point of the recent show at BRP was to be a retrospective and also signal no more TMA or Vandal character pieces.
Then again (and I'm speaking as someone who enjoys the majority (if not all) NW's stuff), if "Bratz" is that new direction, I'm not too sure that a u-turn will be out of the question. I'm not that everything he does has to be print friendly (a good point someone made above) - that's irrelevant - but this doesn't just doesn't cut the mustard.
