BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by Knowss on Dec 6, 2019 5:16:38 GMT 1, Does it say specifically where? I live down here
NOPE. I am here at the moment as well. Was in Wynwood for several hours this evening. As it is a truck I could have easily missed especially if moving around. [/quote]
That looks just like a shitty uhaul truck spray painted like that. And the little sign is just plagiarized from the site. Miami is the capital of fraud

But as uk and America are the main markets and these type of stunts are the type in the past , you never know? Suppose just check on the banksy website official page if fake will filter to there

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by pfffffffffft on Dec 6, 2019 15:03:13 GMT 1, Someone just cashing in on Banksy or another stunt? Probably fake..... In Miami today.
Looks very fake for a number of reasons. Banksy tends to be a bit more clever and self deprecating when pulling art world shenanigans.
Plus the point of GDP is fulfilling the TM categories, this does not.
Finally, this all looks a bit shoddy. Not in a good way shoddy.

I bet it was easy to set up a company quick as gross domestic product. So many people at Basel and tons of people looking for their Central Park pop up store moment ... certainly tons of people will fall for this.

So many people at Basel and tons of people looking for their Central Park pop up store moment ... certainly tons of people will fall for this. The thing about Central Park & Venice is the presentation was much different. Didn't say Banksy anywhere and presented in a way likely to deceive. IE: It's Banksy, but we're not going to openly let you in on it being Banksy.
This truck is also presented with the intent to deceive, only the other way around.

Can ya really blame them for being ticked off? Selling a knockoff is one thing, but selling as impersonation of the real deal is a whole other issue in my book.

You may think that but if you saw people in there, coming out with stuff you may get caught up in it thinking "well, what if" and joining in.
Id like to think I wouldn't fall for it, but in the heat of the moment you just don't know.

I *might* but I’d absolutely deserve to lose any money I spent.
Those people who got their GDP prints signed by some guy saying he was Banksy were probably doing it just in case he was for real. It was still a dumb thing to do.

Eh, I'm probably in the minority but I don't think anyone deserves to be conned.
I feel like the people here are such fans that we understand why this is fake where people who are more casual fans probably wouldn't.
This is someone being greedy intending to deceive people and it's not even a clever attempt. The only thing smart that they did was set up in a box truck so if they get chased off they can go somewhere else.

I'm not an expert, but a 50 dollar risk ( I actually have no idea what they charged) i would be in.

I shouldn't have said 'deserves to be conned'. But I also think anyone who's even vaguely a fan of Banksy should be smart enough to know this isn't legit.

Like all the found Dismaland crap on eBay. They found so much free art at Dismaland, it's amazing we managed to walk around it. It must've been like a landfill with art fans helping each other over mountains of badly painted cardboard.

The compositions look wrong. Even GWB isn't quite right. Banksy is not afraid of negative space where some of the "prints" in this truck seem to insist on being too tidy, neatly centered, etc. Like that bomb hugger missing the entirety of her lower legs but centered in the print. The whole Banksy Truck banner on the side promoting a hashtag, not his style.
