Dear Banksy, Please be more like 'Banksy'., by Nico on Jan 30, 2011 11:27:56 GMT 1, Banksy is synonymous with political activity and subversive street art done in satirical epigrams combined with irreverent dark humour in a distinctive stencilling technique. *quote wiki*. This style is what got me interested and to be honest, his last spout of work around london (including the recent CYW release) has lost me. I can say I still admire his work, placement, creativity and style. But, what im missing is the lack of 'banksy'. Banksy, please give me something to think about. And dont for one second think that keith haring has the answers. Because he doesn't and you do! Tough crowd....it's art, enjoy it for what it's worth!
Yep...he's not a Dj who you can ask to play your favourite song next...

WTB Banksy Choose Your Weapon - Offering ยฃ3.3k Cash, by Nico on Jan 27, 2011 21:21:54 GMT 1, Thanks Colin. I know I've ended up with a good deal - but when I saw the CYW back from the framers it was hard to let it go!! I do get the criticism but as I've said all along - I loved the CYW print - which is why I queued that cold Fri night - and I feel very privileged that POW offered me one of the QJ's. But I had a chance to add some cash and get my all time fave print so I snapped it up. Good news then for me as I get a print I love on my wall - and so does the guy i did the trade with. 2 happy fan's and two prints not in the hands of eastern european gangsters who only care about the money!
And so it starts again about Eastern Europeans. You'd be surprised how many flippers are brits, so go out a little and stop your fucking stereotypes.

For Sale: Choose Your Weapon (Slate), by Nico on Jan 26, 2011 20:51:38 GMT 1, Doubt there will be much interest in the slate at 4k+ Based on the fact.. Not the most exciting of colours.. Think you're confusing fact with personal opinions. some think slate, greys etc are boring, others think the bright ones are garish
Well..owning a Khaki, I can only agree...again we are getting in the debate "what's the best colour in the world?" hehehe!!!!
Yeah, I like blue cos it's like the sky... Blue? Man, the yellow kick's the sky's arse 'cos it's like the sun!
Personally I'd like a hazel so it goes with my eyes!

WTB Banksy Choose Your Weapon - Offering ยฃ3.3k Cash, by Nico on Jan 26, 2011 0:12:56 GMT 1, I think White for all the vibrant colours - black for the pastel shades IMO.
Agree 100% mate, my khaki is going for black! But should I have a bright one, then white.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Nico on Jan 23, 2011 16:55:34 GMT 1, This Xmas, my 'present to myself' was some framing... ... here are the last two to come home... Slate...and War by Numbers....Really pleased with the results. Next up (in a month or so) should be a reframing of my BME and VLH.
Very nice Adam! I was wondering how to frame my CYW and much prefer the slim frames to the more chunky ones I've seen here. And black over white I think too. Enjoy!

Banksy Sperm Alarm on Ebay, by Nico on Jan 20, 2011 20:59:58 GMT 1, got to be honest, that stencil cutting is pretty s**te, has he got some new rookies involved....or cartrain?
The whole point of that stencil is not how well it is cut or not...it's the placement and idea behind it. A six year old could cut that! Of course it's easy, actually it doesn't take a genius to cut a stencil or to learn how to by using google... It's the original idea, finding a great place to put it...and that's a good one.

Should spray-painted canvas be behind glass?, by Nico on Jan 16, 2011 16:40:19 GMT 1, Hi all, I'm new here so hope I'm posting in the right place etc etc . . . I'm very lucky to have a Banksy 2003 Flower Thrower canvas (sometimes called "Love is in the air" but that's not what the original receipt says!). I've had it for a few years and not looked after it very well, I've now decided I really ought to frame it, but ... The question is do I need to put it behind glass? My framer said that canvas will last for decades, but if it's not oil paint then it might fade. Since this is spraypaint and stencil, I'm not sure? I'm considering putting it in a box frame. What does anyone think? Here's a rather cruddy picture, sorry, been having a few issues getting my cheap camera to cooperate . . . Also... my framer said that he is not insured for artwork worth more than about ยฃ10K, and that I would have to bring the canvas and have it framed "at my own risk". I trust him, but should I be going to someone who is covered for high value stuff? This is insured for ยฃ50K, as similar examples seem to go at auction for ยฃ30-ยฃ40K. Really appreciate any advice people have. . . "GDTD"
You lucky lucky lucky person! ;D

Space Invader CCTV on Ebay, by Nico on Jan 16, 2011 14:20:49 GMT 1, "tiles which belong to Invader"? haha...that's cute considering it's not quite glued to his wall is it? (again I repeat, I am not happy with the removal, but Invader's tiles....pfffff) Doesn't matter if it is glued to his wall or not. If you come round to my house and leave your mobile phone here the phone is still yours despite you leaving it. If I keep the phone permanently or sell it to someone else, knowing it is yours then I am stealing your phone. In the eyes of the law Invader may be guilty of vandalism but the tiles are clearly his.
Well then lets hope he kept the receipt from B&Q! Comedy!

Space Invader CCTV on Ebay, by Nico on Jan 16, 2011 1:20:58 GMT 1, I have reported it to ebay as stolen property. The legal definition of theft is: "A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it." This seller took the tiles which belong to Invader and is selling it. Guilty as charged

Space Invader CCTV on Ebay, by Nico on Jan 15, 2011 15:26:33 GMT 1, I think you are all mad. Buy some tiles from B&Q to replace the piece if you really care, or give the money you are looking to spend to charity. This police work over a piece of street art is ridiculous, you guys must have a lot of time on your hands.
Agreed. Sad but that's street stuff for you. Comes and goes. If some idiot destroys something, sad, but with a little luck something good will replace it.

It's really shit to do, a real t**t...but on your last bit about asking the police....you serious?
