The covers, for those who were asking earlier. Anyone in the city should just keep an eye out for the red Village Voice news boxes, they're all over and not that many people really grabbed at them, especially uptown where I am.

Also, this gem from The Musical murals. I know I'm about a decade late on this one; blame the ops for taking so long to approve my account. (By this I mean, all glory to our forum overlords).
Point being, even the NYPD is excited to get a photoshoot in with some Banksy stuff.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Winter on Oct 9, 2013 21:59:14 GMT 1, I think this piece is so strong it deserves to be kept in one piece at least until viewed at night. Doubt they'll be much left of it by morning!

I certainly hope so winter. This thing is really something incredible. I hope we're all right about the blacklights.
Alternately, who can get out there with an IR filter on their camera? If those are IR lamps, they could be on right now blasting that thing into glorious cotton-candy oblivion for the appropriately prepared photographer.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by naughtyshorty on Oct 9, 2013 22:07:26 GMT 1, Just logged on and seen the image- what a piece and how powerful a message in the context of the video and the wiki leaks vid which I hadn't seen a problem. No wonder the American military closed ranks around leaks like that.
Having not been to war, I won't ever understand what happens in the heat of battlle or how personalities change to 'justify' things, but one thing is for sure, I find the conduct over the audio without a single trace of humanity. It's almost like the shooters are enjoying it rather than dispassionately performing a role. By all accounts that's not something that only Americans suffer from, but a lot of people may feel its an increasingly familiar part of America's war psyche.
I personally prefer banksy style of stencil drawing, but I love this for drawing my attention to the attrocoties committed in war. A brave and bold move to do this in the heart of NYC. Hats off

This is a bit like that "Buy our soap powder and we'll donate a vaccine to save a child's life" or "Buy our pet food and we'll donate a meal to a dog in a pound".
How about, you already seem to have plenty of money, so why not do the decent thing and you donate it regardless.

How about, you already seem to have plenty of money, so why not do the decent thing and you donate it regardless.
But on further reflection I see why he's doing it this way. He wants to raise awareness. If he just quietly donated his $100k thats great and all but that's it.
If this comes off for him then hopefully it would generate a lot of media coverage which might get a lot of other folks to donate too.
And unlike your analogy, he's not saying "buy something off me" and Ill donate. He's saying "Do a piece about Sandy" and I'll donate. An important difference I think.
He's a very clever guy and I think this is a clever idea of his.... if Banksy does it....
Edit: And I wouldn't be at all surprised, if the end of the month comes and Banksy hasn't done a Sandy piece, to see him donate the $100k anyway...

True. And for all I know, he's already donated a million dollars to the victims of Sandy.

Soooo---this person would get an original Banksy piece (at a discount), and then donate money to a charity--making his purchase a complete tax write off.
Whenever you buy art (or anything else) for charity, you can only write off the portion that's above fair market value. If you bought a painting that was valued at $500,000, but paid $600,000 for it, you could only claim $100,000 of that as a donation to charity. If you paid less than what it was worth, you couldn't claim anything at all.
That said, the person in question said he will not take possession of the art. He's doing this solely to raise awareness.

Wouldn't it make more sense if it was specified that he'd arrange for a wall in a Sandy ravaged area--to get people to come to that city, and improve the economy? Like "I'll arrange for x wall in Seaside Heights."
The lack of details makes me very skeptical about the proposed offer.

He's saying "do a piece about Sandy - anywhere that it's not illegal to do so" (thereby covering himself from any potential charge of encouraging someone to commit a crime)
He's said that he can arrange a location if that helps - but the offer is certainly not conditional on Banksy taking him up on that.

Very nice, if someone could send me these 2 tu Europe I would pay the shipping fees  ...can someone grab some of those newspapers there in nyc ?
