Banksy Show/Event Today, by Masong on Oct 4, 2018 14:58:21 GMT 1, just from a logical point of view: homeless people are walking or sitting around with banksy canvases / prints in order to wait for some of us to give them some pounds..... homeless people may be home-less but not stupid.... second thought: these homeless people are hired banksy people...this would defend the whole purpose. seems to me that this is BS..... but I may be wrong.
The original post doesn’t say anything about what they will give you, just that they in return give you something back. I think this could be a good thread to see just how things get speculated without anything actually being said. Chinese whisper syndrome

The biggest fool is the person looking for a homeless person with a sack full of 'canvases'.
Great idea - playing on the rich people's greed. Go Banksy!

I think you miss the point of the exercise - place a 'hired' homeless person somewhere in the city and spread the word that if you give something your might get a banksy for your good deed and watch greedy art collectors racing through the city handing out their goodwill to every homeless person they see.

Unlike your posts that throw f@cks into somebody who happens to have a few posts whilst telling him to stop wasting peoples time. Your time seems plentiful from what I can see.

If this is even real, which it isn't so move on people.

Hopefully some random homeless people got some extra money today and the persons who donated the money got a sense of wellbeing in return.
Anything that makes the homeless more visible to people or raises awareness of the issue is a good thing IMO. Well done Joe!

Concentrated my search to areas around tube stations: London Bridge - first look found one guy asleep under a duvet, didn't look like he was about to hand anything out Old Street - not many homeless about, one guy who didn't look like he had canvases or anything. Another woman close to the station. Gave her some change and she thanked me. Angel - No homeless whatsoever. This talk about Canvases under sleeping bags is bullshit. Back to London Bridge for a second look around, found a few more homeless but no way did they have something to give away.
The irony of you sizing up homeless for what they can do for you in of its self is art, moderately repulsive but art nonetheless.

The means would be you have to play by homeless rules as begging is a numbers game. Give to all of them.

If it is true....my heart bleeds again for being in the wrong place at the wrong time..if it isn’t, I think it is a brilliant prank...I’m sure the man himself would smile...
besides, what’s wrong with giving some spare change to those in need.
thanks
Random homeless people will be scattered around London today, you donate to them, they will in return give you something back. Holy nuts if this is true......while I know there are a lot of skeptics here...might be true as it has been some time since his last “performance”..and it does have the feel of something he would do. If it is true....my heart bleeds again for being in the wrong place at the wrong time..if it isn’t, I think it is a brilliant prank...I’m sure the man himself would smile... besides, what’s wrong with giving some spare change to those in need. thanks |

The one person would benefit , by the way it’s implied many people would benefit .
Like the market trader in New York the person holding the banksy if were true would not be a genuine homeless person.
Check trainers ,Rolex tucked under cuff and strong whiff of aqua di palma aftershave 😆

That’s the way the banksy market is going and attracting the new tier of buyers
Less into the political statements , banksy causes etc and more buying as a status achievement , investment.

Yes. Get the market moving. Fucks sake. I imagine that’s what Banksy was thinking when he knocked up a hotel.

Yes. Get the market moving. Fucks sake. I imagine that’s what Banksy was thinking when he knocked up a hotel.
how many people seriously pour millions of pounds into a project for the fun of it or just on a hunch? his main income and what he is known for is his art which generates income which funds his projects ? Hard to understand ?
Without main stream media coverage , main followers for info would be on forums like these , what’ is the percentage of subscribers on these forums that actually own and buy banksy apart to b**ch.main media news generates interest , new potential buyers , most buyers do not even know how cheap prints were when first released even.ask in the office about banksy and where they have heard from?
Fck sake too many banksy god worshippers , it’s a business venture now pr strategists and marketing strategists in his camp how many artists have these ?
Buy before the weekend will rocket in price on Monday !

Do you really think people on the street begging for change are in 'desperate need'?
There are many, far more efficient ways of earning money over sitting down asking for it from random people.
Do you really think giving a homeless person pocket change, whether it's for a Banksy or not is really helping them?
