Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by otomi on Apr 13, 2015 20:15:03 GMT 1, The auction was mentioned in a post on this forum weeks before the event. Urban auction section. Grannies also sold for 3200 euro, auction was in Dublin, which isn't that obscure of a place Dublin? Never heard of it - isn't that a place in Game of Thrones? *sips on his Guinness*

Another new Whatson print ? , by otomi on Apr 9, 2015 11:14:24 GMT 1, I liked & wanted the Toucan, have a perfect spot for it. I was on there early and constantly refreshing, the second it came online , I clicked to add to basket it and it was gone. 1min after going up. Foolishly I went on Ebay to compound my misery and see the 5 that were already up for sale, 10mins after it had Sold Out. sigggggh. So people bought to flip and listed them on eBay before even recieving the prints.
That is what a lot of these releases are about. "money"
I doub't the rhetoric that a lot of artists use in their releases that they don't like flippers and are against flipping.
Sure they are.
They are in it purely for the money hence churning out this flippable stuff and they need these flippers which help with their sales of their prints.
So they should create ugly stuff in large editions that no one likes?

Hanging in Rented Accomodation, by otomi on Apr 7, 2015 15:11:26 GMT 1, the Command stuff is good but I never put art on them. If you stick them on a painted wall/wallpaper it might rip off the paint/wallpaper, so you have to watch out for that. I have never used them over extended time periods so I can't say if they dry out at some point. What's more expensive patching up a hole in a wall or a broken frame and damaged print ...

Eine โข Modern Art, by otomi on Mar 18, 2015 12:21:03 GMT 1, Won't be long before a lot of art is released to the Arab world/China/Hong Kong SARS, ITS SMALL NOW, BUT GIVE IT 10 years when each Saudi Prince is paying ยฃ50000 For a silver flag, investment in high end art will be huge when there is no interest to be made elsewhere.....makes you wonder, hmmm and it makes you wonder. Don't worry about the Saudi Prince I have a feeling he will find ways to make money. Don't think he is relying on low interest saving accounts.

Banksy's used pants for sale., by otomi on Mar 12, 2015 19:34:21 GMT 1, Clearly a fake we all know Banksy lets it hang to the left and the offered pants have a bulge on the right. Someone should report the seller it to the authorities.
I do have some original socks for sale. Banksy was wearing them the entire month of his NY gig. I have a BO COA.

WHO IS NEMOS?, by otomi on Mar 5, 2015 23:18:51 GMT 1, Been following him for a while and really like his walls. Really like his paint/paper works. Here is his site: www.whoisnemos.com Great video. Not seen this before. Anyone know anything about this guy aside from the info on his site? He likes walks on the beach, to curl up with good book and a glass of wine and getting up before sunset to do recycling.
I think it says that on his Twitter.

Banksy in Gaza โข 2015 ๐ต๐ธ, by otomi on Mar 5, 2015 9:44:48 GMT 1, Also have to remember he was in NY for 30 continuous days with media and public exposure building with each day that passed in one of the most densely populated cities in the US. Gaza was experienced through a short youtube video and covered something that most shy away from to begin with. I know what you mean E, but him selling the canvases was the only coverage on his NY exhibit in the entire 30 days..... #moneyrelated #sells # The Gaza pieces made it on the front page of the Spiegel Online (biggest German Newsmag) don't remember the NY stunts did that.
These were not his best pieces ever. He did the cat before and the rest was not amazing. I don't think this has to be the headline all over the world as there is a lot of other stuff going on.

Banksy in Gaza โข 2015 ๐ต๐ธ, by otomi on Feb 26, 2015 23:36:15 GMT 1, Haha true. He's Banksy. He can get away with anything. He just sneaked in and out of palestine, also doing some painting while being there......... the guy does get away with everything! I don't think he would have gotten away with making fun of the Hamas.

Banksy in Gaza โข 2015 ๐ต๐ธ, by otomi on Feb 26, 2015 23:24:08 GMT 1, "Three months ago Banksy came here and painted this cat," said a resident. "We have helped him, but also talked to him and laughed. He told us that he supported the Palestinians and that he wants to show the rest of the world what happens here." Dutch SourceThree months ago?? How did nobody notice a giant kitten in the background of all the news coverage relating to the situation in Gaza? Invisible paint that shows up three month later

Banksy in Gaza โข 2015 ๐ต๐ธ, by otomi on Feb 26, 2015 10:37:03 GMT 1, Awesome stuff! You need balls to paint in a place like that. Letโs hope thereโs still more to come. That said, I think the point heโs making is a bit blunt. This is a war thatโs been going on for decades and although itโs a David vs. Goliath, Iโve never dared to take sides in this conflict cause itโs so damn complicated. Iโm glad banksy figured it out for us. Now, let him come out and lead the peace talks.. To be fair, I'm not sure he's claiming to have an answer. Seems to me he's shining a light on what he feels are an oppressed people and, by doing so, (hopefully) stimulating action from those in power? I think his slogan clearly sides with the Palestinians.

Banksy in Gaza โข 2015 ๐ต๐ธ, by otomi on Feb 26, 2015 10:33:35 GMT 1, If these end up behind Perspex, then the world has gone mad. I like to think people will take another look at what is happening out there, but pretty much every western government was quite happy to watch a civilian population get bombed for weeks.
The civilian population should never be made to pay for the actions of the government or military. What the Israeli military did was a war crime.
Great post and correct 'every' government just watches. Wonder what the Israelis have said about this, anything in the media? Don't want to start a big thing but I don't think western governments were happy. "The civilian population should never be made to pay for the actions of the government or military." this goes both ways there were thousands of rockets fired from Palestine aimed at civilians and they are still shooting rockets.

Totally Banksy......., by otomi on Feb 10, 2015 14:12:41 GMT 1, Lots of kids growing up with Banksy on their parents walls are going to want them on their own walls one day! Do you have the same art as your parents on your wall? Don't think it works like that. If the kids want it they can just wait 'til they inherit it.
