Can he not do a TMA Ridley Road, Dalston or TMA Elephant & Castle? Certainly something a bit more iconic than this tat....

TMA Amsterdam would be much appreciated. Then again, Amsterdam doesn't really have an iconic landmark that a lot of people would recognize i think.

I reckon a few drips of orange paint and this would work.

A TMA Jersey City would have been an easier sell than this

TMA Jersey Shore would be sick. The Situation!

No doubt will be available by click and collect in Waitrose and John Lewis. Bet the last time Nick Walker conducted art that was not by appointment and painted a wall whereby he risked getting his collar felt was last decade!

no longer a Vandal...

Nothing puts the aaaaaaargh in art quite like royal doulton

[Dr Plip]

I noticed they have a gap in their designers page. I'm sure, like me, they must dislike that kind of asymmetry, so I might try to add my face there? While I have no background in art, design, street art or ceramics, I thought why not send them some of my drawings? I mean, I might go the other way? Start on plates, then move to prints, then cap my career by writing on walls in the street?

What's the worst that can happen? I already expect to be rejected. This is very exciting.



Edit: Just noticed that Gordon's the only designer with his name above Royal Doulton's. I don't like that at all.

Has anyone ever seen Nick Walker smile?

Probably best not to send in images of slaughtered animals (not sure if you were thinking about it or not), eating a plate of sausages then when you wolf the last one down you're confronted by an image of a slaughtered pig will likely make them a little wary and damage your chances in the selection process, if your going down the animal route best make them all happy looking ie mummy pig laying in the sun being suckled by her 10 little piglets is a less unsettling image to look at after feasting on a plate of animal, just a thought

[johnnyh]

Leave him alone he is just an artist making a living......he's probably hoping to buy your next print!!!...oh your not an artist.

Aaahhh well never mind he will probably be laughing at you on Monday morning. Off to work early in the rain, crowded tube or a shit bus ....ooh sorry your an executive so in the ford rep mobile....

Regardless of what you think of the print and crockery...pretty sure he don't care...especially on Monday morning.

Enjoy the weekend Monday's getting closer!!!!

[Dr Plip]

As has already been said, many artists have ventured into ceramics and ceramic design. Nothing wrong with that. I can appreciate that some people might not like what could be considered the "gentrification" (for want of a better term) of street art or graffiti. But you could also look at it as pushing boundaries?

I think Pure Evil said he wanted to see his plate on Antiques Roadshow one day. That shows his tongue is well and truly in his cheek on this one. I like that.

Nick Walker takes a bit of a bashing on here though sometimes. Why is that?

Before my time but I guess he didn't get so much bashing when his prices were rocketing??

Your right im pretty sure he doesn’t care and that’s the point. Look at the top of this page it says urban art, nothing urban about royal doulton and nothing artistic about that figure.

That's lovely Dr Plip, could be Royal Doultons version of Peppa Pig plates, the little rainbow going behind the big pig is a lovely touch with some of the little piggies joyfully searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, that's a winner!!

[nacional]

I don't think that NW the person is getting a bashing...I'm sure he is an perfectly decent chap..although he really should take off his hat indoors..plain bad manners that...what is disappointing is that he just endlessly ..
Ad nauseum...recycles a concept that was at best mediocre in the first place...and the concept does not get better, more refined, more intricate or interesting...it just gets more more banal, duller..heck..even Hirst has a pop at painting parrots and producing huge viagra pills on a down day from the spots!!!

[sixftjellybaby]

Of course I will try and buy the print to flip it…. (Lights touch paper and steps back)

[chitownhero]

Will flip well. Grade: B-
