Blu and Banksy Watchtower Collaboration, by Romulus on Apr 16, 2024 9:34:28 GMT 1, Good luck with your search - it would be a great piece to have. I know there was a series, but was it just one by BLU and Banksy together?

Travel to london advices , by Romulus on Mar 5, 2024 9:19:28 GMT 1, Hi Aymar. Where are you travelling from, and have you all been to London before? What have you already done?
If you're worried about Shoreditch not being suitable for kids, I wouldn't be concerned (as long as you consider grubiness etc to be part of the appeal, rather than offputting).
There are a couple of decent picks on Brick Lane if you're wanting the familiarity of a chain hotel - a Premier Inn, or Hampton by Hilton London City. From there it's fun just to explore the local surroundings and see the street art, pop up shops etc. A couple of decent Banksys can still be seen nearby - if you head to Rivington Street you can see two at Cargo, and a recently restored rat with knife at the opposite end of the street. A big Stik is opposite Cargo, and there are numerous other big works from Eine, Fairey, Espo nearby.
Further afield, I always enjoy seeing what's on at the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, and the Leake Street Arches, where Banksy staged Cans, is well worth a visit.
Have a great trip.

Margo in Margate/Margo Mcdaid, by Romulus on Jan 10, 2024 9:56:48 GMT 1, She's built up a good following via her Instagram posts and her new exhibition at Helm in Brighton looks vibrant and filled with colour. The walls filled with artworks look great.
It's a good sign that her work is instantly recognisable.
She's now supported by Jo Brooks, and will have picked up new fans via her BBC coverage yesterday. The vast majority of her new show has already sold out.
Anyone here a fan/picked anything up?

Blu ๐ฎ๐น Bologna Street Art โข Print Release โข Art For Sale, by Romulus on Nov 21, 2023 8:58:15 GMT 1, Nice background and knowledge, Sapi.
I share your thoughts on Demos and BLU in general. I havenโt seen many prints better than this in all the years looking at this forum, and probably only Banksy challenges him for quality of overall work imho. But BLU also has that extra appeal of not giving a shit about the market, and putting his beliefs at the centre of everything he does

Three new Murakami prints, by Romulus on Nov 12, 2023 17:22:26 GMT 1, Are they an available to buy now ? Are they screen prints ? Wonder how they look in the flesh โฆ Looks like one of the three has sold out. No idea if they're screen prints - they're described as posters, but who knows if this is a general term, or a translation

New Banksy in London , by Romulus on Oct 9, 2023 13:41:38 GMT 1, To be fare, this very rare Banksy is not his best piece either, but people do tend to forget about that piece as it was removed quickly. This was very small, so quite different (although I do agree it wasn't one of his best)

BBC Interview Steph Warren (POW) about Banksy, by Romulus on Sept 4, 2023 11:25:46 GMT 1, I really enjoyed the podcast - well played to all involved.
Interesting addition about accidentally smashing his phone before the interview though, isn't there a chance this influenced what followed?
