A FINANCIAL TIMES May 2004 Urban Art ‘Off the Streets, exposé on the rise of Urban Art. In 2006 a spray painted work of Walker's titled "Moona Lisa" sold for an unexpected £54,000 at Bonhams in London. At a solo exhibition at London's Black Rat Gallery in 2008, £750,000 worth of Walkers art was sold, with dozens of people camping outside the gallery overnight. Walker recreated the graffiti'd streets of New York City for Stanley Kubrick's 1999 film, Eyes Wide Shut. His work has also appeared in The Black Eyed Peas promotional video. Walker was a main participant in the 2011 ‘See No Evil event in Bristol’, where he painted "perhaps the most striking piece at the event" one of his bowler-hatted gentleman on the side of a tower block in Nelson Street. Walker continues with his Urban Art in the public realm and was the first artist-in-residence at the Quin Arts program for the Quin Hotel in New York City. There Walker created 15 original pieces on-site for the Quin’s permanent collection during his residency in 2013, shortly following the hotel's opening. In February 2016, Walker revisited the Quin to show both historic images, as well as a new vocabulary of abstraction. This solo exhibit, curated by DK Johnston, presented 25 original works and opened the hotel’s Quin Arts program for the 2016 season. In November 2016, Walker joined a cohort of fellow former Quin Arts artists-in-residence, using the D’Angelico Guitar as their “canvas,” this was for an infamous artists salon. His contribution to the design featured curvilinear numbers resembling musical notes. Walker still lives in Bristol and London.
