new Dolk? Always exciting

[Deleted]

Very cool; imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

I expect that Dolk is the biggest name we'll see. Also Rene Gagnon and Judith Supine, judging from the @meckanyc Instagram. And I could see ROA doing a piece.

Hope it doesn't rain! Should be good fun.

This looks great afr1ka! Are you the curator of this show too?

ROA is said to be (painting) here (WALLCOME urban art festival) August 11–21. I know that doesn't mean he's not in NYC on/before/after August 23 but it'd be a rather tight timetable.

All looks a bit exciting there Afrika!.

Back in 2015.

this show look amazing,always love to see roa's work

Re: Dolk. I spoke to the team at beautiful crime when picking up a Chris Moon painting a couple of months back, spoke about art for a while as we all do when we get a chance lol
They told me that the rumours are that Dolk would be working mainly in the usa over the next year and he is now getting representation, didn't take to much notice, but now thinking there might be something in it.
American solo Dolk show I'm thinking

I hope Dolk is able to push past the Banksy comparisons, which will be extremely hard here in the States.

Anything remotely resemblant of stencil-art is instagrammed with a 'banksy' hashtag, especially Nick Walker. Also, at least in the States, 'Banksy' has become too synonymous with street art for anyone else to surpass him in terms of artistic relevance - he's a household name. They use the phrase "let's banksy that thing" on TV shows to talk about defacing/street-arting walls, etc.

Anything that looks like it may be from Banksy is usually given the "banksy?" consideration, and then shrugged off by 98% of onlookers after they realize it's an artist they haven't heard of (because, America).

For example, there was that great piece during BOTI, pictured below, that everyone thought was Banksy and flocked to, but turned out to be by someone else. And then no one cared anymore, or tried to find out who made the art, etc. They view them as 'ripoff banksys' as though he has a monopoly on stencil art.

agreed... pretty much the only wall art up here was put up by Chris Stain:  alloveralbany.com/archive/2011/09/01/the-living-walls-project

I've heard a couple of clueless people ask "is that Banksy"??  duhhhhhhhhhh

And this, more than anything, is why Banksy prices will never go down.

Had a bunch of pms so hopefully I can clear this up....
This is a group show with more artists to be announced (10-15 total) - NOT a solo show.
No big print rls for any of the artist is planned at this time.
I'll make sure to keep everyone updated as soon as I can announce more details

All looks incredible afr1ka. Looks like it will be loads of work, but a great deal of fun too. Can't wait to hear and see more.

When's the last time Dolk did a mural/street piece? Wasn't he getting slack on here lately for releasing a ton of prints while producing little new street art?

Honestly have no idea, and would love to see him throw-up IRL.

I actually saw Banksy doing one of his NYC pieces when peeking through a tarp hole during BOTI; was only doing ambient spraying [not actual stencils], but was still one of those times where you're simply happy to be where you are. It's what I assume spotting Bigfoot is like; moment of elation burnt into my mind.

Very nice. Should we expect a bunch of pieces from him, city-wide then? I don't really know his MO when it comes to the actual street pieces. 

And does he usually re-use past images?

Trying to figure out how excited to get.

nice!  looks like all of those walls must have been commissioned (or at least granted permission)?  couldn't imagine pieces that large done in secret... but who knows

No one ever figured it out. The world may never know. Pretty great though, IMO.

[dazarino]

Great news about Paul Insect!!!!

So whats everyones prediction on Dolks NY street pieces, my guess is Kitty riot and maybe a small evolution. Would be great to see a vandal with the american flag?

Exciting stuff and I'm not even in the states

[tigerblood]

His Prison Painter and Boxer that were done in BK a few years back remain some of my fave street pieces ever.

[Deleted]

I'd love to see a giant Bombsuit in America or maybe a Chief.

Whatever he does I think that It's time for Dolk to really move out of his comfort zone and start showing more and more art in shows abroad.

[Deleted]

I'd love to see something new. If he only does Kitty Riots and Bombsuits it will be a little disappointing for me, honestly.

[M]

I'm sure this show will be a huge success!!! Good job AFRICA!

Thanks everyone here is some more info on the show

This show will be a mix of different things. Some walls will be done, some installations will be done, some will be stores allowing for originals to be hung for the day.
It will not only be street artists.
Also, the first person to see and tag every piece on instagram/facebook/twitter will receive a unique print from one of the participating artists that retails for over 1k USD
Just like any hunt there needs to be a prize for the winner

Can you give us more details on this contest? Is the only artist Dolk? What hash tag should we use?

There will be over 15 artists. More details as the date comes closer.

Ok, so the contest hasn't officially begin yet?
