Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by slevin on Sept 13, 2023 10:43:32 GMT 1, When the first banksy cover went online, the shipping was only ยฃ2.50. When they restocked, the shipping mysteriously changed to ยฃ5 to deliver a single newspaper.
Now it's a tenner and included in the single newspaper cost. But buy the 2 newspaper set and you're paying ยฃ20 extra for shipping. Hilarious how it keeps doubling.

But I hope it's open in the evening, without the need for a ticket for those who want to go. It won't be - it just means it's open late night for those that purchase tickets for that time.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by slevin on Aug 5, 2023 12:55:23 GMT 1, I noticed that, like me, you have checked many details. Is it possible for anyone to find a photo of it? From what I can recall without my phone, it resembles a cup-shaped sign with two dots on each side. It seems simpler than the Ukraine's one you mentioned. I have attached what my remaining memory holds. I'm curious to learn more about it. Cheers! By the way, the one Stormzy was wearing at his show doesn't have anything on the back. I actually drew it down as I was curious too. This was the symbol

BBC Interview Steph Warren (POW) about Banksy, by slevin on Jul 28, 2023 12:39:44 GMT 1, The bit where the presenter got kicked out of the Beyond the Streets exhibition for mentioning Banksy was hilarious.
Maybe if there's a season 2 in the future someone will read out this comment in a funny accent. (I'd prefer an Ali G voice please).

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by slevin on Jul 21, 2023 10:48:14 GMT 1, "The uncanny valley phenomenon can be described as an eerie or unsettling feeling that some people experience in response to not-quite-human figures like humanoid robots and lifelike computer-generated characters." So this doesn't apply to illustrations such as this. As I said the edge of the close-up is changed in the zoom-out. What is happening here? My guess it is made with Midjourney. www.midjourney.com/showcase/recent/Midjourney also have this type of zoom-out: docs.midjourney.com/docs/zoom-out The entire pipe disappears lol. They've generated the initial AI image, and then done an 'outpainting' to create a wider perspective, hence the inconsistency.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by slevin on Jul 21, 2023 10:36:17 GMT 1, Surely this is ai generated and nothing to do with (the real) Banksy? Or am I missing something? The images don't look like AI to me. You get that uncanny valley quality with AI, which these images lack. This looks like a very clever blend of a flat image painted on the rear wall that - viewed from a single point perspective - merges with real world elements in the foreground. The boys feet, are a real pair of shoes, hence they pull his body off the wall into the room and the balloons, or at least 3 of them are real, and again pull the flat artwork out into the surrounding environment. No idea where it is, or who made it, but it's an acomplished piece for sure, which I feel has a certain melancholy to it. I agree it does look like he has an empty quiver over his shoulder and - perhaps - a bow, or is it a wooden sword behind his back? I also agree that the boys features are somewhat cartoon like and are atypical of pervious Banksy artworks. The dimensional shading looks great though. As is always the case with these things, time will tell. It's AI. Because in the real world objects don't behave like they do in this scene

Have to be in Glasgow Mon and Tues next week for work but it looks sold out. They're now sold through the day as I imagine the initial hype has died down. You'll see a sign at the entrance i.e next tickets available for 11.30 etc

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by slevin on Jun 25, 2023 11:29:36 GMT 1, Banksy wonโt tour. He is on this project at Glasgow since 2/3years. Itโs a complicated one ( with the lift, all the stencils, truck).. Maybe he took Glasgow also to avoid too crowdy visitors, long long queues, securities problems, etc.. Imagine if it was in a capital as Paris London LA NY ? Unbelievable. As for Dislamaland at WSM Banksy likes singular and quiet places to make the show. He needs "space" ( next exhibition over the moon ). Over.
I would have to agree, when you see the scale of the show you realise just how much work and how long it would take to take the show on tour.

Interesting line up of suspects - I would rule out JPS solely based on reading the thread. Doesn't look like a Zedsy in terms of subject matter. Maybe Outis did it hmmm

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by slevin on Jun 22, 2023 20:39:32 GMT 1, I would gladly accept that bet sir. Alright, slevin , then we have our own gentlemen's bet. For the sake of consistency, I will offer you the same terms as for minibear : And so, even if no artist credibly claims the Orange Order rat by 28 August 2023, and we're then left in a position of limbo/ambiguity, I'll accept that as a loss on my part and fork out ยฃ500. Likewise if Ban ksy actually claims the piece, but only does so after 28 August. This sudden financial exposure has left me curiously invigorated. I now feel like running a few laps, and starting conversations with random strangers at the supermarket. Lol that will certainly liven up a regular supermarket trip.
Early signs aren't too promising re. the BBC article, but let's wait for more news and see if anybody claims it.

I remain pretty much doubt-free with my Ban ksy attribution โ so we shall have to respectfully disagree on this occasion. If you're willing to put a pound fiver on the table, let me know. Hopefully, we'll receive an authoritative answer one way or the other in the coming days or weeks. I would gladly accept that bet sir.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by slevin on Jun 21, 2023 21:10:50 GMT 1, He just sent this. Definitely legit.Although I try to avoid categorical references like "definitely" or "100%", there is no reasonable doubt in my mind that this work is by Ban ksy. In betting terms, I would be confident enough to bet ยฃ500 that it's authentic, and to offer 100 to 1 odds. Leaving aside the concept and highly-charged political theme, one just has to look at the level of detail, the calibre of stencils used, and the general execution. Among other things, consider also the handstyle of the text, shading, and use of multi-tone colouring for the rat โ the latter being consistent with the artist's technically-more-advanced style of recent years.
