Tee Shirt, by marc57 on Sept 24, 2020 14:17:31 GMT 1, In 2014 B M E released an offer that if you bought a tee-shirt for a water charity you would be able
to purchase a new Banksy print at a reduced price. This gained momentum until eventually POW
put out a statement that it wasnโt going to happen. The option was then to have your money returned
or they would still send you a tee-shirt.
Mine is framed by MFM with the information cards that were sent after purchase and after POWโs statement.
For total authenticity I have the envelope with a LA/B M E post mark together with the bag for the tee-shirt
with the same post mark.
I genuinely (and have a tin hat on for some comments ) have no idea of value but am open to offers via DM

Tee Shirt, by saint on Sept 24, 2020 15:32:57 GMT 1, The invader t shirts were 40, and the fake t shirt that was supposed to be by Banksy, but was a total scam, was 80. USD that is. There was a 20 usd shipping fee. The shipping was massively delayed, the Banksy connection was a total marketing scam, and Banksy had nothing to do with it at all. More importantly, didn't he pocket the majority of the money raised? I got the invader t shirt but the bad taste of what he had done meant I gave it straight to a charity store. There was some lip balm I kept tho, my wife used to rip me for using it, but I had dry lips so what can you do.
Thread here if you want to spend a bit of time:
urbanartassociation.com/thread/114733/banksy-bne-world-water-day
Edit - by 'didn't he pocket the money', I mean BNE, not Banksy.

This was such a sh*t show and basically a scam. I edited the BNE Wikipedia a couple of times to add this whole thing in and to make sure it wasn't forgotten, but it was always removed by some mod saying I didn't have any proof/no sources to back it up.
What does he mean proof and sources lol. I lived to whole thing, ordered the shirts, then BNE tried pretending it was by Banksy when it wasn't etc., then we all got refunds because he was pressured by Banksy/POW/people buying. No proof needed, just the truth.
Edit: my contributions to the page are still visible here:
en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=BNE_(artist)&diff=626125069&oldid=626123708
In March 2014, BNE released several t-shirt collaborations for charity with street artists, including [[Shepard Fairey]], [[Invader (artist)|Invader]] and [[FAILE (artist collaboration)|FAILE]]. Additionally, BNE claimed to release a t-shirt in collaboration with British artist [[Banksy]], a claim that was withdrawn after many sales had been completed. Those that had ordered later received a t-shirt that stated: "Bansky has not made any t-shirts for a water charity". Apart from the misspelled "Bansky", this text is a direct copy of the statement made on the official website of Banksy at the time of the initial release. As of yet, no feedback have been given by BNE regarding how many t-shirts have actually been sold.

Why lawyers or state did not made any claim against this big robbery ? It was clearly a rob. Did the money served for the water ?

Tee Shirt, by met on Sept 24, 2020 19:25:36 GMT 1, In 2014 B M E released an offer that if you bought a tee-shirt for a water charity you would be able to purchase a new Banksy print at a reduced price. This gained momentum until eventually POW put out a statement that it wasnโt going to happen. The option was then to have your money returned or they would still send you a tee-shirt. Mine is framed by MFM with the information cards that were sent after purchase and after POWโs statement. For total authenticity I have the envelope with a LA/B M E post mark together with the bag for the tee-shirt with the same post mark. I genuinely (and have a tin hat on for some comments ) have no idea of value but am open to offers via DM
The t-shirt does have some historical interest. It shows the level that BNE chose to stoop to โ using a non-profit organisation to mislead and quite probably to defraud.
But why anyone might want a reminder of this scam hanging on their wall does puzzle me.
I would just see the item and that reference to "Thank You For Caring!" as a daily slap to the face โ the face of collectors including my own, of the artists involved or affected, and of Charity: Water whose reputation ended up tainted by the BNE association.
