i would suggest as the originator you decide or we vote on the ideas that have been put forward.
Great work, thank you

PENNY commission, by Icesay on Mar 13, 2016 20:58:47 GMT 1, Its going to be difficult to find something we all agree on....something that resonates with all of us but how about unity? And I quote: Fasces
Aย fascesย image, with the axe in the middle of the bundle of rods.
Fascesย (/หfรฆsiหz/, (Italian:ย Fasci,ย Latin pronunciation:ย [หfa.skeหs], aย plurale tantum, from theย Latinย wordย fascis, meaning "bundle")[1]ย is a bound bundle of wooden rods, sometimes including an axe with its blade emerging. The fasces had its origin in theEtruscan civilization, and was passed on to ancient Rome, where it symbolized amagistrate'sย powerย andย jurisdiction. The image has survived in the modern world as a representation of magisterial or collective power.

PENNY commission, by Icesay on Mar 13, 2016 21:09:21 GMT 1, There is more....one of Aesops fables recounts a father teaching his children. He gives them a bundle of spears or arrows bound together and tells them to break them....suffice to say they cannot. The father unbinds the spears and they individually snap each one together.
Maybe it's me but I love the idea of unity

That's too basic for Penny....no classical symbolism.

Something like this, in the form of a flag:
Adding a motto could also give it extra oomph.
Maybe "Credere, obbedire, combattere".

PENNY commission, by bigv on Mar 13, 2016 23:05:46 GMT 1, Since he does some awesome work with money, and has already explored defacing and erasing concepts, what about something with multiple erasings, tears, a burns etc that reveal different currencies Jn each layer until you're at a blank sheet of white paper, with the pieces name "All different, all worthless" as a commentary on the fiat nature of money and if he could find a way to work gold/silver/land etc into the concept to show that the only real units of Exchange of value are tangible, I think that would be really powerful.

Then we can start working through them and get the ball rolling Like the graffed up train, this thread is going nowhere fast. Any new developments on what the image will be?

These things take time. I'm in constant communication with penny about ideas.
Hopefully we'll have something to put forward to the group soon

PENNY commission, by londonfx on Apr 5, 2016 19:39:56 GMT 1, Thanks for the interested pklong and welshjon
Unfortunately I've stopped taking names for the commission. As you can see from previous posts in this thread. There is only an allocation of 20 prints for the Banksy forum. And there is already 37 names on the list.
If all goes well, there maybe potential for another similar project in the future. Which you can hopefully be part of.
