i recieved a message on fb alerting me to this thread you wont get a rise out of me these days tartarus

I have no doubt any kind of Banksy release would go through POW. Surprised no one has mentioned the returns policy when buying these!

Was any of that relevant?

had to edit post as wrong link and we have changed the way the pink edition is sold....

we have a release tomorrow by the mysterious artist OUTIS entitled LOVE HURTS.

3pm tomorrow 12th feb at 3pm graffitiprints.bigcartel.com/products

6 colour screen print on 300 gsm paper 50 x 50 cm.

main edition of 100 in grey at £90

pink edition is a timed release over 48 hours or 51 total which ever comes first at £150.

All this seems is a social experiment by a person after they seen what banksy did at central park. I doubt banksy would try the same stunt again.They probably got an artist to do a typical banksyesque image. This outis has no previous . They want u to believe it's a banksy with the same web fonts etc.The open edition pink is for people to panic buy if the regular edition sells out. All very clever stuff.
That's my take on it.

Sent from my C5303 using proboards

i won't be buying purely on the basis that it looks like nellie has had her tusks removed by evil poachers...or is that the point? Its also got the humped head of an asian elephant but a trunk of an african elephant...am being pickie

Its not Banksy and has nothing to do with Banksy.
Buy it if you likes it.
Just sayin.

That's the way i see it. It's clearly not banksy, it might use his rat but its not even his style.
The other thread going on about the importance of an artist's attitude has raised some very valid points, all of which transfer to this.
Whoever Outis is he is trying to pull a fast one and ride in on the back of someone else. He's a bad imatator, and even worse illusionist. It took most of us only a few glances to see traight through it and for me that ruins every ounce of credit that may have been raised by the 'niceness' of the print.
Its a big shame GP didn't see the obvious, and slightly confusing that they are still pushing the sale even though it may upset their clientbase. But you never know what agreement they locked themselves into.

For those who like the image enough for that to conquer the deceipt that has gone into marketing it, fairplay, enjoy hanging it. For the rest of us..lets just hope GP carry on acting like they have previously and not on this release!

Think you're on to something. The number 51 might well be NUMBERWANG, so my money's on Mitchell and Webb being behind this.

Hijack, MBW's son right ? Could be him... piggy backing Banksy would be some family business ahah

There's a lot of egg flying around with this release - who's face will it end up on?

Funny thing is he always rips into banksy on his fb page, then goes and does the exact same thing.
I think the rats are well copied though BTW.

if this was by me i would admit it simple and freerange i have nothing against banksy nothing wrong with a healthy art war i have massive respect for banksy www.streetartbio.com/#!jps/c1ncw

wow.
