Very nice Grafter. I like the use of colour ans like the new tag too!

[bmjt]

Haha, I really like it, and I echo Bobby's sentiments about the colour, top stuff sir.

I like the splash of colours I think it would look great in a series next to each other with lots of different colour splashes.

[Bram]

That's your best one yet imo

Way ahead of you, dude.....(Splashes yet to be added)

mate that is a brilliant image one of my favs!!!!! let me know whhen i can get one. love the colours. another great job!!!

[ricobenfico]

Yes yes yes Grafter, nice idea and image . I think the girls right index finger needs some tweaking but I do like the 'splash' effect. Not sure if if this is what Felix meant but even keeping the girl and background the same colour but just making the splash different colours and displaying alongside each other might be pretty cool (may be a bit Nick Walker though?). Very nice

[stickee]

favourite so far ......good work

[slowmo]

Nice return to form mate

[Deleted]

Yes, Yes , Yes top notch mate. Nice and controlled and the splash just frees it up. ;D

[Harveyn]

Love it Grafter. Let me know if it will be available on canvas. Really top work.

[kay7four]

Nice job G.

To be honest I'm not too keen on the three colourways but I love the piece on wood for the Big Issue event and the street piece. Probably my fave of yours up to now mate.

Nice one!

[sparkledusted]

yeah...nice.
your stencil-cutting is really tight.
the barely controlled yellow splash on the black box really cements the piece for me.
i've followed your work on this site for a while, really getting a nice body together.
congrats!

Yeh baby that is fookin lush..i f**kin love splats and they are hard to incorporate into pieces...this works real well.

LOVE the one on the pallet!!

I have found cheap tester emulsion paint is good for splashes...especially if you lay your piece on the floor and get up high on a ladder...you have to have a good aim though...practise first.

here's a couple i did just to show, no where near the imact and technical skill of yours...but you get the idea

i wont post the pics but follow the link if you are interested..

is it me or does that sound a bit wierd?

[b4life]

that is beautiful.my favourite is the first one.
let me know wen and if u is releasn it as print or canves.

[pimp]

ah, my favourite artist and another 'classic'

what everyone has missed in the excitement over the "splash" is that this little girl is grossly disproportionate!

her fucking head is the same size as her body. Is that why she is bent over? can't support the weight of it i guess..

showing the same level of artistic skill as always. I think the can of Kronenbourg in the first pic says it all. and i won't even mention the missing finger

meanwhile, here is what the little girl would look like, if she could stand up straight......

Good to have Pimp back. Where have you been ;D

[darrenrapley]

Pimp - is that a one-off or a limited edition?

[carlito]

i know pimp you purport to know everything....but when it comes to proportions sadly you've let yourself down....

'The proportions of children are quite different to that of adults. When they are born, babies' heads are extremely large in proportion to the rest of their body. As a child grows up, the head becomes smaller in proportion to the rest of the body.'
