With all the subtlety of a sledgehammer (albeit a well drawn one), Porous Walker’s illustration work comes across as fresh yet grounded in a sense of brutal realism. Born as Jimmy Di Marcellis on an airplane from New York to Rome in 1974, Porous confesses these days to be compelled to share his every thought on paper in the form of illustrations, in sculptures, and in his interesting street installations. His work is distinctive for its quirky take on common catchphrases, all delivered with a minimalist colour palette [similar in its execution, in many respects, to the work of Edwina White]. By his own admission, he aspires to put his ideas out there in the simplest form. And he succeeds. But one can’t help but think that there are layers of social commentary buried beneath the bare bones of his sketches. [see also James Alley; Eduardo Recife]

Porous Walker is to me what a water treatment facility is to the muddy Mississippi River.
What your instincts want you to evolve toward your unbreakable determination sparks a new life in the imagination station in all of our minds. Artists everywhere, be never afraid of the boundaries of your own imagination. Simply put, your imagination is forever evolving. You just have to be willing and determined to express it artistically in order for the rest of us to beleive in the processes you say are happening in your brain, mind, spirit, etc. Play In Life…….so you can……. Rest In Peace.
