Banksy is away , by gm on Jul 1, 2006 13:57:22 GMT 1, I don't get that message.
I see a skellington sunbathing.
Edit: OK, once this crappy net connection finished loading the page properly the 'away' message showed up at the bottom.
*sigh*
I'm so pissed off with my connection at the mo. It's not been right since the wireless thing got installed, but I'm not allowed to uninstall it

You had me a bit worried for a minute there - I thought I'd upset someone and they were out to get me.
That wouldn't be anything new, tho

Banksy - slowly becoming what he is against..., by gm on Sept 21, 2006 13:34:42 GMT 1, Gentlemen, I will consider your offers and do a bit of PMing tonight if I can get near the PC.
(No more offers from anyone else please otherwise I'll have too much to think about and my brain will explode.)
Well don't expect to see me there any time soon. His stuff does absolutely nothing for me.

Banksy - slowly becoming what he is against..., by gm on Sept 21, 2006 11:40:59 GMT 1, But while the numbers are growing here so are the prices I'm sick of seeing people tap this place for information - of buying unsigned and selling as silly prices A large number of people who get to buy off pictures on walls or even in LA are nothing more then scalpers. Getting there before the fans and then selling at high prices through ebay. It becoming sickening And so many member of this site are at the same racket.
I understand exactly how you feel.
I've got a flying copper at home. He's been behind the wardrobe for a couple of months now because his frame blew off the wall, the glass shattered, and I can't afford to have him re-glazed. I feel bad that he's stuck behind the wardrobe because he should be out in the open smiling at someone and making them happy.
I want him to go to a good home, one where he will be hung on the wall and loved as much as I love him. I don't care about making a profit. If I found the right person I'd let them have him for a stupidly low price. But I'd need to be certain they were buying him for the right reason, and not wanting to bung him on ebay or wherever asap so that they could make a fast buck.
I think he will be remaining behind the wardrobe for a while yet, because 'the right person' is going to be very difficult to find.

In a word, yes. To me, the recent stunts have been purely to get his name to more people in the states as advance publicity for Barely Legal. It worked very well.
What's been on my mind lately is more that he may be looking down his nose at his fans. What do you think was going through his mind as he watched people queueing up to buy a print called "i can't believe you morons actually buy this s**t"?
Did the person who not too long ago handed Laz 45grand for a painting called "keep it real" stop and think about the irony of what they were doing?
Was it really Paris Hilton who got 'punked', or was it the mugs who clamoured to spend hundreds of quids on ebay copies?
And the work is priced ever higher, way out of the reach of the people who have been really inspired by what he's done in the past, and the people who've put him where he is now.
As another *icon* once said, many years ago: "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
Banksy's been quoted elsewhere on this forum as saying something like "when people buy this stuff they're funding my illegal street work" (I can't be bothered searching through all the threads to find out exactly what the quote said).
I tell ya what, Banksy... after all the dosh you've made in LA these past few days I expect to see S.H.I.T.L.O.A.D.S. of new streetwork when you get back.
I won't be holding my breath tho.

Banksy Paris Hilton CD, by gm on Sept 4, 2006 15:14:29 GMT 1, There's a link to the vid in one of the other threads. Somewhere in the Banksy In The News section, I think.
Seb, I reckon every copy that was on the shelves last night is now in the possession of some record shop staff who have gone through their entire stock before the shops opened this morning.

What Banksy picture are you searching for?, by gm on Feb 3, 2006 15:01:26 GMT 1, I'd love to have a 'Laugh Now'. There was one in TomTom's shop window last year. Every time I walked past I considered it, but by the time I finally made my mind up it had already been sold

POW - is it worth it anymore?, by gm on Dec 3, 2006 21:05:36 GMT 1,
You can't generalize.
You've got to remember that the people who were stuffing their brains full of acid in the 60s and creating/being into all the far out radical stuff are now in their 60s and 70s. Everyone gets old on the outside, but not everyone gets old in the head
Granny Power!

POW - is it worth it anymore?, by gm on Dec 3, 2006 9:41:33 GMT 1, Some of these prints are 5 years old, sometimes more. People who enjoy seeing different art, regardless of financial value, will always pick up something more valuable...having art you love hung on the wall. I think the time spent looking at some of these things, is better spent on other artists with huge talent and no hype...
*cough*Nick Raybould*cough*Jane Tomlinson*cough*

No, It was one of those rare occasions these days where I wasn't being twice as old as everyone else in the audience (and on the stage) This time we did mostly see John Otway at the 100 club. Everyone needs to experience his totally unique brand of mad genius at least once in their lifetime ;D
Next week, however, I will be being thee sad old git again:

POW - is it worth it anymore?, by gm on Dec 2, 2006 22:36:03 GMT 1, I know but it's expectations ( realistic or not ). For me nothing about POW has changed except it's busier. I went past @ lunchtime there was a huge queue so instead I went to pick up my Connor Harrington book from Lazarides. It was just me and the staff in there. there's a whole exhibition to see in there, people need to widen their horizons. I'll say it again, spend time in Tott. Crt. Rd Station ( next door to the ghetto, central line section ) checking out the work of Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. For ยฃ200 or so quid a throw if you can find them his prints are amazing, widely regarded as the best screenprinter in the business before he died.
Well said that man!
(I'm assuming you're a man, from the name )

You and me both.
But like someone pointed out above, at the end of the day POW/SG is a business. And nobody forced anyone in to London at Gunpoint

POW - is it worth it anymore?, by gm on Dec 2, 2006 21:35:58 GMT 1, Like it or not the Banksy Madness is at it's height, and his name is linked with the Ghetto and POW. There's obviously going to be much more interest this year than in previous, cos more people have heard of them now.
Next week, yes it'll still be busy and a lot of the stuff will be gone, but it will be less busy as there won't be so many "I read about that in the paper today, let's go in and have a look"* punters, and there will probably be different stuff in.
If I was in a purchasing position there's no way I'd be trying to do it in Week 1 of this year's Ghetto, let alone on Day 1.
Anyone who chose, themselves, to travel hundreds of miles at the crack of dawn on what was obviously going to be a completely mental day possibly didn't think things through properly. The reality has come as a letdown after all the anticipation.
So some people got armfuls of tubes and some people got nothing at all... Yes it's "not fair", but neither's life in general.
Everyone just needs to take a chill pill.
*heard more than once last night while I was standing outside Virgin, smoking fags and waiting for my gig-buddy to show up.

prints still available, by gm on Jun 6, 2007 19:59:13 GMT 1,
I'd have bought one if it didn't have the writing across it.
I also like the Hewlett Windows, but think they need displaying as a set and I don't really have a wall big enough.
