i really like the vandal-air....







heres the info for the show (got this email from seth):

Here's what I can tell you at the moment:

This show will contain the complete "The Morning After" series, including the "Hollywood", "Sydney", "Tokyo", "Bristol", "London" (on loan from its recent purchaser) and studies of the New York TMA images, on display together for the first time, as well as a narrative body of work focused on the exploits of the "Vandal" character from the TMA series.

Preview list members will be allowed early entry into the gallery + 1 guest, at 7pm on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008.

Those of you not able to attend the opening will be able to purchase work directly from us via email with Google Checkout starting on Sunday, February 3rd. You will receive a .pdf containing all the work before the works go online and before the gallery opens to the public on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles. (Saturday night event is guest list only).

Unfortunately we will only have 50 of the Hollywood TMA prints and these will ONLY be available to attendees of the show, we can not sell them by phone or internet.

Black Rat Press will be selling 100 of the Hollywood TMA prints at a latter date, most likely at a show in London.

Best,

Seth

I'm with you; what would you say is the idea behind them?

[Art-el]

Along the lines of the suit looking inconspicous in the early morning and people's assumptions that the Bespoke Bowler hatted Gent would be the last one suspected of having just bombed the city in a black ops nightime of vandalism?

To be less judgemental, not to judge a book by it's colours.

Romany and myself had the privelige of visiting Nick at his studio just before it all got put in a crate to be shipped.

It's widely known that we are big admirer's of Nick and his work and it is absolutly knockout. L.A is in for one killer show.

That pictuure at the top is poor quality and doesn't do it justice, for starters it's about 5ft by 4ft and is top class as are numerous other pieces. The Tokyo MA is also a beauty.

Enjoy it you lucky lot in the US, be sure to post plenty of exhibition pictures.

LA beware the Vandal is in town!!

[loucastel]

Anyone know what Nick Walker and D face prints will be on sale at the BRP show, middle of feb?

hlarmy - exactly that artel said! the idea that anyone can be a vandal is great. writers who get up and become famous let their tag to the talking while their identity stays a mystery. to me this is along the same lines, the vandal could be anyone, their identity stays invisble while their work does the talking the morning after. graffiti is not just produced by 15 year olds with a marker pen or tool to scratch windows with!

[BK83]

Wow. Blown away by Vandal Air. Spectacular. This series Nick is working on is beautiful!

[Art-el]

Jaypaav

If your blown away by the pics just wait till you you see this in the flesh. Awesome

Can't wait to see The Vandal take to the sky in his hot air balloon....now that will blow you away

[Harveyn]

Wow....That Vandel-air is top drawer.

PUD..Any chance of selling me my Nick Walker original back...

[shower]

i cant stop looking at the second image, the pink paint on the wall! i love it! i have the same feeling as when i purchased my bristol tma, one where i cant stop looking at the image! how much you recon these will be priced at at the show? 10grand like his london tma canvas?

Will sort on Monday for you mate, it's hung in my bedroom at the moment, gets moved around with other stuff when I feel like a change!!

[jonvespa]

ive been told that the vandal-air will be sold for around $15k us (i could be off)....seems about right, its 4x5 feet.....the prints will be around $600 (for the la morning)....

[Matt-lock]

is the Hollywood TMA definitely the only print being sold? Would love a NY TMA or maybe an extra London or Bristol lying around somwhere... ;D

[Art-el]

Dont peak too soon fella's. You'll have to take my word for it BUT HONESTLY you ain't seen nuffin yet.

Nick's a legend/pioneer as it is but with this show followed by a London show at BRP. Combined with The Hellium Foundation (no less) having just added him to their roster, then this year could well be a stellar year for him. Also seeing his work elevated into the very top bracket of British artists who from originated or their roots being street.

Neil what did that dirty rotter Pud steal from you, or shouldn't I ask. Don't worry we've all done it!!

Now for some shamless self publicity (for your benefit of course)

With the crazy prices Nick's limited prints are going for then checkout the original and very limited editions that we have a few of left at www.Art-el.co.uk at seriously good prices.

OK OK I'll get my coat

Peace

EDIT. Yes I'm 99.9% sure that is the only print available

Nick Walker is great everyone! He's one of the best ever! Now, here's some of his art that we are selling! Buy! Buy! Remember, he's a legend!

[Art-el]

Chill dude

I called it shameless, the prices were dictated by the artist, since then and due to the factors mentioned I feel these are out of line quite reasonably priced.

His more recent print editions of 100 and 125 are selling for between £300 - £800.

The one's I talk of are edition numbers of less than 20!

What would you suggest, I hike the prices or get a friend to write what I did then me jump in coveniantley jump in and mention we're selling these.

All of the points in my first post are factual......is that wrong?

In case Francis didn't emphasise it NW' s a legend

[romanywg]

I have been documenting Nick for a couple of days preparing for his first solo show in the US and here are a few photos of Nicks Studio in Bedminster. More to come daily, up to the shows opening on Saturday and also a video of Nick at work by the end of the week.

Nice pics there matey,
I spoke to the lady of the house just before they were leaving for LA and she told me Nick was now out of the batcave and had moved very recently to the new place which I know they are excited about.Looks a lovely place,lots of room compared to the last couple of places where the boy been painting!
Love the shot of the cans ...i took some similar shots a while back,will have to upload them as well.

[Deleted]

thanks for those pics romanywg, good stuff. looking forward to seeing pics of the show.
i do like that vandal air canvas. very nice.

[Art-el]

Looking through those again and was looking at the wicked butterfly that's on The Triangle with Chaos written in it's wings.

Then I stumbled across Pure Evil's new piece on Auction Sabateur. Is it just me or is that not a little bit naughty? I accept admiration and inspiration but that is borderline plagiarism surely

[Montubu7]

Yep noticed the pure evil butterfly............very similar to Nicks version...

Yep your right, Very Similar is another way of putting it!

[mred]

I am looking forward to seeing what else Nick has produced for the LA show. After IMHO a little bit of a dodgy start with the LA TMA, the Vandal air canvas is simply awesome. I remember a few years ago, I think talking to Nick but if not another graffiti artist, about graffing a whole plane, isn't the plane graveyard near LA??? That would get a bit of publicity for the show. Nick has already done a car so a plane cannot be that much hard ;D ;D

Regarding suited vandal, I always assumed it was a bit of tongue in cheek observation that a lot of graffiti artists are becoming respectable even corporate. May be completely wrong but thats what I tell people and they nod as if it makes sense ;D ;D ;D
