A REAL TREAT! Live Painting by Nick Walker in Meatpacking Dist.-See It Step-by-Step!

All new work from the famous Nick Walker (Bristol), and colleague Stewart (Birmingham) in the Meat Packing District!  Meet "Allison," Walkers latest piece at 64 Gansevoort. I stumbled upon the guys just beginning to work yesterday afternoon as I went searching for the Diane Pernet piece that should have been right across the street.  But, the buildings owner quickly painted over it, a travesty!  Luckily, the guys had just begun to create "Allison" and also see more of their work on the metal doors right next to it.    


You've heard "right place, right time..." yes, applies here, it was like Christmas! I was able to see first hand how these creations went up and have documented the whole event, which took less than an hour for them to spray, and friends, it's perfectly done. Walker is a serious, true,  professional, but you already knew that.  Sadly, no more Diane Pernet on the walls but this was an even bigger treat!


See the work going up step by step....
