Banksy • Flower Thrower • Love is in the Air, by Matt on Jan 14, 2021 17:07:47 GMT 1, price was / is $600k for signed, $320k unsigned.. The price of the Signed isnt actually that outrageous when compared to their pricing of a Choose Your Weapon at $442.5k and GWRB AP at $1.2 million whatever they can find one for +50%
Agree. I still have a hard time adjusting to those prices though !!

Futura suing North Face, by Matt on Jan 14, 2021 12:01:24 GMT 1, seems a bit tenuous...
Suing only on the basis they used 3D concentric circles and the word "future" ?
Easy to show this design predates his art, and he doesn't own the word "future"

Banksy • Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by Matt on Jan 14, 2021 9:44:46 GMT 1, i don’t understand the first part.... he already refunded me, ask 4 that print back, i sent it, he then sent it back.... as far as “ask him” i’ll pass, as i said want nothing 2 do with him.... i’m thinking it’s customs/vat/whatever fees u guys over there pay, or he’s trying 2 dodge criminality and/or culpability on selling thousands upon thousands of dollars/pounds worth of fake prints 4 several years, cause in nyc, that’ll b a felony, not sure how UK system works.... If you don't want anything to do with Nick that's of course your own perrogative. Although it's not really constructive. Then requesting advice on a forum of strangers and asking what might be Nick's chain of thought isn't going to help you. So either accept the consequences of not dealing with Nick. Or work it out with Nick. This post is also "not very constructive"...
Let's not lose sight of the fact that nick isn't some well to do forum member trying to work things out
He is a large scale scammer who has ripped off countless forum members and even more people outside of the forum
People who have been ripped off will be wary of his behaviour, and that's not too surprising

Job lot of prints, by Matt on Jan 11, 2021 12:19:11 GMT 1, Find someone with time on their hands and a basic understanding of eBay / forums / Discord etc...to sell for you
Given them a cut
Their interest is then aligned with yours and they will do the grunt work

Banksy Choose Your Weapon, by Matt on Jan 10, 2021 13:58:25 GMT 1, It’s only a matter of time. It’s an image that has aged well especially now that masked faces don’t have the menace they once did!
Agree
I think Choose Your Weapon has huge significance.
To me one of the seminal images of street art, and the perfect portait of the street artist - part vandal / part artist - taking the art (haring dog) out in the street - influenced by the previous generation of great urban artists, but also asserting his dominance over them
The multiple colorways also make them look like smaller editions I guess which can help in auctions

Banksy • Tesco Petrol Bomb Poster, by Matt on Jan 8, 2021 21:32:56 GMT 1, But, you have sold a fake and Tate Ward have sold multiples fakes of the same thing. This sounds very fishy. The fact that Nick and Tate Ward have been selling fakes on an industrial scale, doesn't mean no one else has sold fake Banksy's, including fakes of this poster

Banksy Wrong War Sticker, by Matt on Jan 6, 2021 23:04:44 GMT 1, The box set was the Pax Britannica, and that included the Wrong War print not a sticker I thought, unless you're talking about something else.
I see there is a Griffin Wrong War box set
The latter
Has t-shirt, grim reaper wrong war stickers, and maybe some other stuff i forget

Mason Storm 🇬🇧 New Print Release • Who is Mason Storm?, by Matt on Jan 6, 2021 22:53:10 GMT 1, No. Art is less about execution than it is about concept. MP or Toxic beach are Banksy original ideas, regardless of whether he painted them himself. Mason is profiteering from the original idea, and at this stage it is not even clear if he is actually painting anything I'm no fan of the piece, or particularly the artist, but I'd argue that there is a concept, which is to decieve, confuse and muddy waters. And if Mason Storm has done that using the same technique as Banksy - employing someone else to do the painting, whilst piggybacking the success of another artist then he's executed that concept pretty well in my book. Honestly that's convoluted at best
Plagiarism and conning aren't an artistic concept
There is no link to or parallel with Banksy, end of

Banksy Wrong War Sticker, by Matt on Jan 6, 2021 22:15:05 GMT 1, Looking for a legit Banksy ‘Wrong War’ sticker if anybody has one for sale. Thank you. I am utterly fascinated that someone just paid over 1k for the one on eBay.
I do not see any way to tell if one of these is legit, they are the easiest thing to copy on that cheap backing, they don't have a POW receipt...
Unless you are buying the whole boxset thingy of course it's a massive gamble

Mason Storm 🇬🇧 New Print Release • Who is Mason Storm?, by Matt on Jan 6, 2021 21:33:29 GMT 1, In short, who gives a fuck. Totally irrelevant deflection. Not entirely. This release is just another case of one artist profiteering off another artists work. There's a chain of them all taking credit for something that isn't theirs. You only seem to get away with it if your name fits. No.

Banksy Prices Up or Down?, by Matt on Jan 6, 2021 17:59:31 GMT 1, After US president election prices on Banksy prints and cryptocurrency may rise very high. US plans another stimulus package and covid-19 vaccine will be soon be released it will raise commodities to the next level. I think we are talking about 2x price rise for cheapest prints and much more rise in value for top 5 his prints like "Girl with baloon", "Banksquiat", "Love is in the air", "NOLA", "Radar rat". It is clear that Banksy is the best art investment of 21 century. All speculation. You may want to revisit your listing of his “top 5 prints”. Banksquiat? Come on, man. I can name 5 B prints off the top of my head that are above his latest print.
The somewhat disproportionate love for Banksquiat shows how much Banksy has “recruited” new followers with GDP
For a lot of these new collectors it is the gateway print
Maybe it will level out over time, maybe not 🤔

Invader Djerba Map , by Matt on Jan 6, 2021 12:21:21 GMT 1, I don't find it bad, I find it overpriced. The concept is nice but I think the "handfinished" thing is used to price up the release. But this is a general direction of street art / urban art. More and more often, collectors need to consider the purchase as an investment, when in the past it was really about liking the print. Then, people in here are asking "why don't you simply buy what you like?" "why do you consider your purchase as an investement?" Simply because the pricing of the artists are going crazy for "normal" collectors. I think some artists stick to keeping the art affordables, Shepard Fairey for instance with numbered prints at low cost and some higher costs on the HPM or specific events (30 years of his carreer) I don't blame them for making money but I blame them for making art for investors rather than collectors. You can find such good prints from 35USD but now the artists are surfing on the hype and are asking for 1.000€ so easily. Thanks Forbidden Love for the correction on who make the handfinish
I agree with you on this release. It’s not an artwork, or a print of an artwork, it’s a f’n map. The hand finishing is a gimmick with low/no artistic merit. 1k for this is a cash grab.
However overall invader is an artist that looks after the cash-strapped fans : plenty of new art in the street, an app for your phone, regular affordable easy to get releases of screen-printed shirts, stickers etc...

Mason Storm 🇬🇧 New Print Release • Who is Mason Storm?, by Matt on Jan 5, 2021 17:59:11 GMT 1, they should create a screen printed edition if they're going to get the best out of this painting/image
To be fair another artist got the best of this image already
:-D

Invader Djerba Map , by Matt on Jan 5, 2021 17:26:02 GMT 1, Wow. 1000 Euros for a signed map. This map is printed on thicker paper/card to the folded maps, these are not folded. all burned by the Invader . Small edition - signed. Price doesn't surprise me. these actually come SINGED if someone asks.
Agree that it’s hand singed and hand signed
But it is also an offset, of a map, with little dots
So all in at 1k easy pass for me
and god knows I love me some invader

Banksy Puma Turf War Trainers, by Matt on Jan 4, 2021 22:19:43 GMT 1, I wonder how much he'd list those for 🤔 I'd hope less (probably be more though) than the Wrong War Ts and definitely less than the Turf War Trainers if he has a stash of those beauties hidden away.
I thought Wrong War T was harder to find than Turf War ?
I have both and the former was much harder to come by
Trainers are rare as sh*t but 2 pairs were for sale on eBay recently (nowhere near 18k) as were sets of glove + postcard

If in person - No info is given - A crowd of french born yesterday art flippers gathers outside - Mehdi - a.k.a. the muppet king - complains about the crowd he summoned - 3 maps are released in a basement next door - Mehdi complains some more - no one knows where the other maps went
If online
- site crashes - Itinérance is unapologetic - 3 people score - no one knows where the other maps went

Banksy T-Shirts - Wrong War, by Matt on Jan 4, 2021 13:57:21 GMT 1, These were stencilled with bleach iirc (not sure what the technique is called)
I think they had "wrong war" written on one side and a little logo on the sleeve (maybe the Griffin logo as @terryfuckwit mentioned)
You could get them for the protest, at the Griffin shop and in one or two other places
EDIT : just saw the OP's confirmation of the text and the logo

WCP The West Country Prince, by Matt on Jan 4, 2021 12:56:03 GMT 1, If you're not bothered by missing detail, and transparency on the black, then I can see why someone who has not experienced the real thing might like them. But it also means you're enjoying the work of a parasitic fraudster.
For the sake of learning something what does “transparency on black” refer to ?

Lazemporium, by Matt on Jan 3, 2021 13:46:23 GMT 1, It's an "emporium" : obvious rip offs, not so good deals, some really dodgy stuff, but also some nice finds
At least we get to see some pretty cool rarities in this drop : - Wrong War t shirt even rarer than the Turf War one - Burner prize COA quite cool although I have seen better condition ones - Cargo & Rivington Street flyers pi had never seen - Zapatista Tour is quite unique ! I would assume few people here even knew about this
worth a look even you have no intention to buy

Thanks for posting.
I was after a set of these on secondary, but seeing your pic I actually find them a bit disappointing in situ
The images don’t really stand out like I thought, they look somewhat crammed and muted...

Banksy + Clown Skateboards, by Matt on Dec 20, 2020 19:13:41 GMT 1, You're full of bullshit since the day you joined, and I'd say your sidekick is probably a mate. You were trying to flip them for 15k, but now putting on the collector bullshit story. You're a sarcastic p*ick on top of it all, and a disgrace to the skating community! A set sold last week for £18k so £15k would’ve been a great deal at the time but I’m afraid I’m keeping my sets 👌🏻
Can you point us to where this happened ?
