BUBBA 2000 Exhibition ! , by tonysantos2001 on Jan 28, 2021 12:03:51 GMT 1, It's amazing the negativity towards artists works on here yet you seem to embrace whatever is released from the Banksy Studio, not for once thinking that the artists that you sneer at might of, at one time actually of helped produce and create the works of which you now hold in such high regard. Maybe some people don't need to create some fake association or lie about having worked with Mr B and actually did and would prefer to make a name for themselves as opposed to making money from lies, add the fact anybody that actually, genuinely HAS worked on ANY project with Mr B has signed a water-tight N.D.A.
Maybe those people are just interested in protecting their investments and NOT interested in the art?

Banksy Archive On Instagram., by tonysantos2001 on Nov 17, 2020 10:12:31 GMT 1, They've been posting some really nice historical Banksy pieces complete with back story, some rare bits never seen before. It's the account "Banksyarchive" not "Banksy_Archive" I've not seen the "Tripple Five Soul" pics from 2003, or the Vibronics dub logo.

New Banksy in Nottingham , by tonysantos2001 on Oct 17, 2020 14:50:11 GMT 1, He should of worked off of a better quality JPEG lol
In all seriousness, yeah, the digital look is part of the piece, going back to basics, but the execution is more like his early 2000's work, it's almost as if this is HIM going back to basics and painting his street work and not one of the many assistants.

Is Banksy Robert Del Naja?, by tonysantos2001 on Mar 22, 2020 16:38:38 GMT 1, Hmm, you've posted a picture that is a cropped version of the original image, not only that but if you zoom in you can see that it's from a photo of a SCREEN GRAB!
No offence, and I know that it's all pretty much public now but seems to me you were sent a photo that was NOT to be shared and you've done exactly that!

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Nov 4, 2019 20:08:16 GMT 1, Wouldn't it be hilarious if he Opened up a GDP shop in ANOTHER town, but a Christmas Shop (Santa's Ghetto anyone?) but , as with GDP purchases only available online........except this time with REALLY long terms and conditions that said at the end you could purchase one of each item, by the time us Forum members got done reading (Fool Me Once etc) ALL the products were sold out!
C'mon gang, let's try get this thread to 500 pages for the festive season, it'll be a Christmas Miracle (If anybody receives a winning email soon lol )

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Nov 4, 2019 15:24:57 GMT 1, OK, this is just a bit weird now and slightly stalkerish. He has now posted a few pics of Lroy on Instagram. This guy is mad ! He never gives up ! After hacking Lonelyvilain twitter, taking his pseudo for his rubbish website, swindling all a forum, ebay, etc, etc.. really insane !
Well, thank you , I will advise Instagram, cheers ! Is this Paul Wroe rearing his ugly little head again? That guy was a nutter! I used to help manage an artist a few years back and he would constantly stalk him online creating multiple accounts every time he was blocked. VERY creepy behaviour!

Banksy and Nathan Barley., by tonysantos2001 on Nov 3, 2019 21:23:44 GMT 1, So, this is something that I'm not sure's ever been covered here before but what do you all think of the connection with Banksy working with/for Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker on the early 2000's T.V. Show "Nathan Barley"? If you purchased the dvd it came with an almost exact reproduction of his (Banksy's) early pocket sized books, this one entitled "FxxKING WITH YOUR HEAD YEAH?!" with work contained within that would only best be described as "Very Banksy", which, when you consider how many people have aped his style (not stencils, his actual illustration style) over the years, this is almost a perfect reproduction. So, the question I pose to you is this, is the booklet contained with the Nathan Barley DVD a hidden gem, quite literally an Easter Egg?

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Nov 1, 2019 4:20:34 GMT 1, Sir, you have hit the nail on it's head! In the old days there used to be fulfilled speculation on print releases etc, but, Ironically we've seen certain members post "a little too much" on this. Let's be clear, pages and pages of speculation and fake posts does the GENUINE collector community NO favours. Banksy/P.C.L. is, I've tried to express MANY times before is now a business, it's NOT a one man band! AGAIN, (bored of saying this) once an Artist reaches a certain stage in their Career an artist needs assistants and representation, and what also comes with that level of success is GREED and, unfortunately BEGGING! I've let a few people know privately that they've done NO favours with their posts on here! And, before you kick off in uproar saying "Who's this guy saying all this?!" Well ask this, Banksy, as much as we all wear rose tinted glasses of a Lone Ranger...........it was NEVER that, the brand, and it IS a brand "Banksy" is worth MILLIONS of Pounds/Dollars and is a brand............people are protective of, said brand. You're all grown up's and, wise people, so, any multiple posts. on speculation with regard to the GDP lottery, begging, talking about multiple posts, applications etc, like I said.................BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU! If you don't think staff from P.C.L. are watching and reading this post and this WHOLE page, you're sadly deluded Peace. You have just broken many adults hearts🙈 , like kids believe in father xmas a few adults believe in banksy as one, let them be , don't spoil the fun 😇👨🎨 Certain posters on the past TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR PAGES, have a thinly veiled sheen of GREED to them, and that's being polite, that's ME being polite! The main reason for this campaign was with regard to raising funds to buy another rescue boats for migrants, people desperate to come to this Country, and in the time this Thread has been active we were all unfortunate to bare witness to a real World event where migrants DIED in the back of a lorry, something highlighted by Banksy in one of his pieces...........but.........in over TWO HUNDRED PAGES how many posters addressed this?!............EXACTLY!!!!!!!!! Let's not be daft, AGAIN, PEST CONTROL/BANKSY IS A BUSINESS!!! All the selfish, childish moaning, P.C.L. know who you are, you've done yourself no favours.
Be good if some of you spent a bit of time addressing REAL WORLD issues instead of moaning about sending multiple entries etc on line. YES, the promise of ownership could be life changing to some people, but. the demonstration of thinly veiled greed by some posters on here is, to be frank, DISGUSTING! Like I said, I'm just glad that P.C.L. are watching, and said posters have shot themselves in the foot.

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 20, 2019 16:21:13 GMT 1, I reckon you'll be able to narrow down the location of Banksy's new craft studio by the fact that it'll sit in the centre of this circle where no charity shop can keep a branded t-shirt in stock. T-Shirts were (likely) purchased via a company called Blue Rinse, they're one of the biggest distributors of vintage/2nd hand clothing in the U.K.

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 18, 2019 2:02:01 GMT 1, 1, "Banksy" has done this to take the art "back to the people" the same way that their street art used to
2, Old rules don't apply! As I said waaaaay back, Banksy is now a brand, as such the rules of a random drop would not/will not/hasn't happen! Team Banksy/Pest Control are well aware of the "Brands" worth, you only need to see that by the introduction of "B-Bay" and the rules on reselling artworks.
3, RELAX!!!!! Ok, you all got trigger happy, especially those that remember the "good old days" and fired off multiple bids, same I.P. whatever! but again, you guys have read WHAT YOU WANTED TO!!!!! You've missed what the site says, this is the FIRST WAVE of goods!!!!! Come the 30th of October another set of good will be made available online, same rules apply folks! So, take you time, read the T's & C's the next round and TAKE YOUR TIME!
4, If art matters then ENJOY THE ART!! I know a LOT of you genuinely love art for art! If you don't win your chosen auction then guess what? I have a surprise for you, that money that you had to buy a Banksy piece, if you had that disposable income to buy a piece of art then y'know what? you can use that money to buy MORE art!!!! Seriously, take a punt/chance, use that money and buy some art from a local artist, help those in the community trying to create something beautiful, or, failing that give to the chosen charity, not for a mat or whatever, but to know that you could and can.
Peace.

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 18, 2019 1:44:15 GMT 1, one item per item ! I thougth ( I quoted you GMA but it did not match ) Since the beginning I thought that it was this ( per example no x2 cans ) I am wrong I am wrong.. I wont die. I have no chance with Banksy products that's all. Its not for french I guess. And I have the right to be stupid. Even if I regret. But I can understand those who have been quick, but why a so hard sanction, what you all call " discalification ". We are playing Basket ( to cart ) or what ? oh I put this here.. I was annoying FЯ I guess : So, what I have to do now sir ? Do you think that I can write to them to apologize and to took off all the merchandises at 10 quids ? And will they answer me ? In fact I did not read well for sure, but its not my fault if I have already got the button back saying " back to the shop "...It should be written " Back to stop ! It's one item per person during the all show then ? Even for the unlimited ? I did not asked to get in a lottery anyway ( for the big artworks ) ... Greed is God. Xxx and company are well aware of what they're doing, it states that a majority of the works are produced "In A Studio", this is the first time that "Mr B" (As you like to refer to him on here) has admitted that he's not the Lone Ranger that the public has a romanticised vision in their collective minds, instead, as with the D.P. piece sold via Auction, he has a team, as most artists do at his level (anybody who openly says they're responsible for works is LYING, contracts, N.D.A.'s etc) he's trying to take it back to the people as he did when his art was on the street, not F5ers, who, ironically were the ones who helped elevate him to his position now, but with fame comes greed, so the true fans who remember the old days of a "bun fight" will get lumbered in with flippers, the old school fans are used to "fastest fingers first" type of attitude, but these are different times, If you know "Mr B" he, Jo Brooks and the team were never going to do something like that nowadays, Banksy is a brand, so my advice? All those on the Forum need to sit back, lick their wounds and wait for the next wave of goods posted online on the 30th of this month x

Banksy Monkey (Devolved) Parliament sells for £9.9Million, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 5, 2019 9:13:55 GMT 1, So therefore, if any "Artists" have insinuated that they're responsible for painting this piece it's pretty much a safe bet that they're lying as a pathetic attempt at an oxygen grab. Or they already know they'll never work with the B man again... I think it's safe to say that they never worked with him in the first place lol!

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 5, 2019 0:05:00 GMT 1, Have read a few interesting posts with regard to "Banksy" not painting this piece (Monkey/Devolved Parliament)......and yes, that's probably the case. Most artists get to a stage in their career when they "Farm out" work and bring in assistants, and it's pretty obvious to all that Banksy has had assistance from the very early days, so how come none of these myriad of assistants have come forward to spill their guts to the press for a few quid?! Simple, when you're employed by an artist, especially one as high profile as this you will sign an airtight N.D.A. as part of your employment contract. Most artists employed in this manner would not risk their future career or sales for the sake of some attention, none would be that naive and/or stupid. Banksy is a cash cow to a LOT of Galleries and to lie about creating work or breaking the N.D.A. would result in you being blacklisted in/by the Gallery circuit.
So therefore, if any "Artists" have insinuated that they're responsible for painting this piece it's pretty much a safe bet that they're lying as a pathetic attempt at an oxygen grab of attention. My money is on a hired assistant straight from art school who has been with him for a long time, possibly as early as crude oils era? A few of the "Artists" that have thrown there names in the ring are known for manipulating photos digitally, making a giclee/digital print and then adding paint to certain areas to create a "Painterly" effect, but strangely, none of the styles, brush marks match any of the works from the people who've said they did the work.

So therefore, if any "Artists" have insinuated that they're responsible for painting this piece it's pretty much a safe bet that they're lying as a pathetic attempt at an oxygen grab of attention. My money is on a hired assistant straight from art school who has been with him for a long time, possibly as early as crude oils era? A few of the "Artists" that have thrown there names in the ring are known for manipulating photos digitally, making a giclee/digital print and then adding paint to certain areas to create a "Painterly" effect, but strangely, none of the styles, brush marks match any of the works from the people who've said they did the work.

Banksy Monkey (Devolved) Parliament sells for £9.9Million, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 4, 2019 23:54:31 GMT 1, Have read a few interesting posts with regard to "Banksy" not painting this piece......and yes, that's probably the case. Most artists get to a stage in their career when they "Farm out" work and bring in assistants, and it's pretty obvious to all that Banksy has had assistance from the very early days, so how come none of these myriad of assistants have come forward to spill their guts to the press for a few quid?! Simple, when you're employed by an artist, especially one as high profile as this you will sign an airtight N.D.A. as part of your employment contract. Most artists employed in this manner would not risk their future career or sales for the sake of some attention, none would be that naive and/or stupid.

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 2, 2019 23:35:07 GMT 1, I made the trip down this afternoon. Loved it, though I wish they used museum glass as my silly mug was reflected in a lot of my photos. Should have hung around until after dark but the constant smell of KFC was making me too hungry. The Banksquiat print was a lot nicer in person than I expected. Looks like a matte finish. Whether that is the case for the edition remains to be seen I guess. Wonder what a black/grey "board" means? Looking at the bottom edge (just under the fence) it's clear that it's the black and white that has been printed, my guess is that he's used MIXO ink, it's a cross between water-based and Plasticol, will sit and not bleed a lot nicer on card. He/they/POW previously tried using Plastisol on the Grin-Reaper piece but the fine detail, paper and lack of thinning agent led to a messy print. Seems they're printing using techniques used by old members of the team that are now flying solo, same as my (way) earlier comment about him spraying directly on the acetate/film and burning the print directly from that.

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 2, 2019 23:28:29 GMT 1, Are there any close-up pics from my Holy Grail, the signed spraycan? These are about to become the new "Di-faced" tenners on Ebay LOL

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 2, 2019 15:37:14 GMT 1, It's basically spraying straight to the film/acetate as opposed to scanning or photographing an image. Pepperspraypress have done this with some of their recent releases.

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by tonysantos2001 on Oct 2, 2019 9:29:52 GMT 1, Genuine question. How many of you are wanting to purchase a piece because you're A, a collector, B, don't own a Banksy work and want your first or C, are hoping to make money out of this?! Reading some of the posts on this thread it's actually quite disappointing how many people are coming across quite greedy and aren't even trying to hide it. Why not just enjoy the art that Banksy and his team have produced, knowing proceeds from the sale are going to a good cause (as well as helping his legal case lol) As opposed to the displays by some people of pure greed?!

ITV claims Banksy interview has been found after 16 years, by tonysantos2001 on Jul 5, 2019 12:39:02 GMT 1, No denying it's the same guy. Through time it's become an open secret that "Banksy" had assistance/funding/help from the likes of Damien Hurst to help get where he was/is today, Laz pretty much confirmed as much and also the assistance of others in his early Instagram posts before he took them all down and started again as people were ripping him off. All artists get to a stage if they're succesfull enough to start working with a team of people to help them acchieve their "vision" without naming names of others it's another open secret that, yes Del Naja has assisted in painting pieces as well as Ben Eine who helped in screen printing a lot of the early prints (Which led to them falling out over "back door" prints being dished out by Ben)
