David Walker

I will always see graffiti as I roam these New York streets, why? because everybody's got something to say. But, if it looks anything like the work of David Walker.....I'll stop dead in my tracks every time.

David Walker creates female graffiti portraits on almost anything: wall, canvas, records only using spray paint. I always show more appreciation for free-hand artists because my own free-hand work is.....eh. The London based artist is a member of the Scrawl Collective, and has shown his work internationally. Did I mention he's been doing this for less than 5 years???

Do I have a thing for female featured artwork?? eh...maybe. Women are beautiful. Or, do I have a thing for young artists that are innovative and modern and appreciative of natural beauty? Either way, David Walker fits the criteria. 

He embraces the use of colors much like the TAGs on every free building side wall, but his work is vibrant, three dimensional, evoking light, shadow, and emotion. 

Whatever the debate on public art, I think it's awesome! Visit his website for more in his portfolio.
