David Walker is a very talented graffiti artist. One would never know that he only started to hone this craft three years ago. He also doesn’t incorporate the use of brushes! David says that,“People are normally quite surprised the work is made from spray paint and I think many are also surprised they actually like the work when its outside on a wall; suddenly they have connected with a scene that they previously had no time for at all.”
Ok, let’s talk about the award before I get carried away with David’s work. I was recently awarded the blogger with style award from some great ladies;DesignChic, A Dose of Pretty, Life Among Mountains, and Live.Like.You. What an honor! This prestigious award involves me telling you 7 things about myself that you might not already know, BUT since you know so much about me already, let’s go for 4 things instead
.

- I have only brothers
- I am a first born
- I am really terrible at finding places(directions) Thank God for the GPS!
- I once burned down a tree accidentally when I lived in Italy. The hubby was away and I was a bit over zealous in my Christmas decoration. There was a pine tree in the front yard(perfect for decorating) and i lacking in my electrical knowledge adorned it with a gazillion number of lights without ensuring that I didn’t plug too many lights together. Anyway, that was the day I learned the word bruciato (burnt in Italian) from my Italian neighbors and friends. I was notoriously known on Via de Gasperie(the street where I lived) as the girl who burnt down the tree.
I should be passing the awards on to other bloggers, but you’ve all made that task difficult since you’re all so stylish! I mean it! Therefore, I pass this award on to each of you. You all deserve it! Thank you again, DesignChic, A Dose of Pretty, Life Among Mountains, and Live.Like.You!
Some more of David’s “awesomeness”:
This is not traditional art, but I think that is what appeals to me and his portraits are so soulful! I can envision a big piece of his work on canvas hanging beautifully in the new house. What do you think(your cup of tea or not)? Happy Wednesday everyone! XX

I love this kind of artwork! Little unexpected and intriguing in its street-style but very well done in its artistic manner. Congratulations on your awards, you deserved them all! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI've liked the look of graffiti for years, ever since I lived in STL for uni. Though I do not agree with or enjoy a lot of the sentiment in the average street art, I like the aesthetic of it. And, sometimes, there are artists out there with a lot of skill telling beautiful stories with their work instead of putting others down or being crass and disrespectful.
ReplyDeleteADORE his very creative work - really fabulous! And congratulations on your well deserved award!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacey! I am such a huge fan of art anyway, so I can totally get into this guys work. The fact that it is with spray paint is most impressive!! You list is short, sweet and I got a laugh out of the language lesson. What a way to learn :) You are very deserving of a stylish award. Personality is not something everyone can convey so effortlessly and you do it well XOXO Kel

Wow, David's work is amazing, love the subtle contrast and all the color. Congrats on the award and too funny about the tree.
ReplyDeleteThis work is unbelievable!!
ReplyDeleteWow, his work is stunning. I totally agree that it would be fabulous to have your child or baby's image done by him. How unique would that be!
ReplyDeleteOH yes, my cup of tea and lots of other peoples too, by the comments! What a talent. And I happen to love street art ~ not the self-indulgent signature kind ~ but the ones that provide a moment of reflection and thought for passers by.
ReplyDeleteTwo words. Simple Fabulousness.
ReplyDeleteOh yes his talent is so evident. Would be great to have your son's image done by him
ReplyDeletewow goregous...I truly adore all the color. Definitely soulful and for sure my cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing artwork. Hard to imagine a brush not being involved!!
ReplyDeleteI love your 4 "things," and can totally understand the directions "issue." I can even have a difficult time with a GPS unit in the car!! Sad, but true!
His work is awesome! I love it. I have 3 Gino Hollander pieces (have you ever heard of him?). Their work is similar except Gino is all black and white. I love art. My husband has the bug worse than I do which makes me a very lucky girl. I'll have to show him this!
ReplyDeleteSuper cool! Living in LA I see a lot of graffiti, well how about right down the block! And there are some talented peoples sprayin cans out there! Just leave the palm trees alone people! lol. xo
ReplyDeleteLove his work...such statement pieces!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and very soulful! Congrats on the awards dear!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure I have seen his work (while searching graffiti art-which I do a lot!) but I never knew who is was by- he has a unique yet recognizable style with the tilt and the lips of his ladies.
ReplyDeleteBruciato - that is a fun story, probably not at the time. And the art is amazing! It will look great in your new house!
ReplyDeleteWow spray paint? So amazing!
ReplyDeleteLuvs!
It's remarkable, the detail he achieves with spray paint. I'd happily reserve a wall in my new house for him. His work is tremendous.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! And BRAVA on the Blogger with Style award! You are truly a blogger with great style. This is a great post.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous art work!! What talent! I especially like the first photo...but they are all...really really special!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
