secret7 2024 ending soon, by eyectopus on Mar 17, 2024 23:21:50 GMT 1, I think you only find out when you see it, to prevent people taking a chance and cancelling. I had a few issues when bidding such as my details disappearing that prevented me bidding and missed one because of it. Then the same happened so I cancelled the offer and went back in and they were there, but my bank then blocked the deposit payment for security reasons, which was a pain.

Baroque Portfolios, by eyectopus on Feb 29, 2024 18:46:18 GMT 1, Here is a thread where I showed some homemade temporary storage. I have since made some boxes using the same method but with sides using foam core, they were about an inch deep to store a few prints.

Banksy TShirts, Gross Domestic Productโข, by eyectopus on Feb 10, 2024 0:26:36 GMT 1, I remember someone having a tony the tiger rug. I think it was from insta and someone posted it on here I recall someone mentioned one was going to the Ghost house. Not sure if that was just a rumour or not at the time.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by eyectopus on Feb 2, 2024 18:19:22 GMT 1, Thanks concrete jungle . I had been after one since shortly after they were released. One piece I always wanted to add. They have come down a bit over the last few years but don't come up for sale very often. This one came framed although I was hoping to get one unframed.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by eyectopus on Jul 21, 2023 14:22:05 GMT 1, Another thing learnt from UAA. I had not looked much into AI images, but what you have put together hnkpnk makes it very clear what it is capable of.
Interesting to see the account it came from also, I hadn't seen it before but have seen the other fake Instagram profiles related to Banksy that do not make it clear that they are "fan"/"unofficial" sites.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by eyectopus on Jul 21, 2023 9:10:58 GMT 1, Come on, you canโt be serious in believing itโs Banksy! Apart from the ai โfeelโ there are strange perspectives and details round the edge from the closeup pic not corresponding with the zoomed out pic. And give me one other example of a Banksy in the same style and palette. But most importantly; what does it say? โHereโs a boy with balloonsโ. I expect a lot more from Banksy. I canโt tell if this piece is at the GoMA or not, but it looks real (and not AI) to me. Is it some kind of cardboard cutout with four real balloons attached to the right hand? And I donโt get the message yet, but the balloons seem to hold up a fishing net full of rubbish (that he wants to send up into the air?). It could be a 3d figure painted to look 2d from a certain perspective.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by eyectopus on Jul 3, 2023 20:44:09 GMT 1, I agree, the staff were great. From the staff on the queue, security, reception, inside the exhibition and the photographers all were very welcoming, chatty and helpful.
They definitely added to the whole experience. I loved the way they would politely ask people to step aside when taking a Polaroid photo and were happily chatting away to visitors.

My daughter saw the link but it went unnoticed to myself.

Orange Order Rat - Fake or Real Banksy?, by eyectopus on Jun 25, 2023 14:01:16 GMT 1, jambor6 very well spotted. The image shared initially could have been before the final touch ups and finishing. Maybe a mix up by whoever took the photos. Or someone went back to quickly do the touch ups after the initial photo was taken.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by eyectopus on Jun 25, 2023 10:05:48 GMT 1, The thing that strikes me as different are the stencil bridges being visible in the "O" and "D" of God and the "S" of Sun.
Also is the rat backing into the trap? if so The Sun bait makes even less sense to me.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by eyectopus on Jun 25, 2023 8:20:34 GMT 1, Who are the ones on the banksy video ? I don't know this for fact, but I am wondering if it is the same comedian that was supposed to judge the GDP applications 'art' question. In the Cut and Run video it is Frankie Boyle and Christopher Macarthur-Boyd. For GDP it was Adam Bloom.

You end up doing too much ducking and diving when you are avoiding other people's photos. Whether you do not want to ruin their photo or to be caught in a photo you don't want to be part of.
The majority of photos taken would not be looked at again anyway, despite causing a nuisance when being taken.

Banksy Show โข Cut & Run โข Glasgow , by eyectopus on Jun 15, 2023 19:17:28 GMT 1, Awesome show. Love this shot of the operating mechanics of Shred the Love. Interesting to see this one fully shredded. At the time it was said that the partial shredding was unintentional and that it was designed to fully shred it. I thought it was intentional as it would display better partially shredded.
I would love to see how it would look fully shredded and ended up as a pile of strands, it would be a much different piece than the partially shredded one.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by eyectopus on May 11, 2023 20:50:09 GMT 1, Just watched the printing power video; really cool to see the process. For those that saw Human Flow in person, is the print framed with or without glass? It is without glass. That could be that the glass could impact the mirror element of it, but not sure.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by eyectopus on May 11, 2023 19:32:38 GMT 1, I agree, it was very well handled and gave forum members a great opportunity. I messed up as I didn't realise it was a Publicly available code at first and only realised when all Human Flow and the Vase had sold out on pre-order. My own fault completely. I saw them at the Design Museum last week and they are all excellent pieces. The show itself is great and a lot different to other artists shows I have been to in the past. The Lego Water Lillies is stunning.

Banksy Stamps release @ Ukraine, by eyectopus on Apr 25, 2023 12:03:55 GMT 1, Thanks for those informations. Are we sure that the frames directly sold by the framer are not part of the initial 1000 ? That is a very good question. The Ukrposta site states a circulation of 1000. However we do not know if it includes the ones direct from the manufacturer. It has been mentioned in a post that the manufacturer offered to sell more, then it is likely there are more than 1000.

Damien Hirst - The Beautiful Paintings, by eyectopus on Apr 10, 2023 19:56:26 GMT 1, Iโm pretty sure at least two of the winners are heavy discord users who got spin paintings from the studio visit. No luck here! Three to be precise. Whining pays off I guess! ;-) There is a lot I like about this project but not sure I will pull the trigger. Maybe I will generate a fully random one at the last minute and go with it. Or not. I have tried a lot of variations and so far the fully random ones have looked better. I am still undecided aswell, but have added my favourites to the cart
