Is there a mailing list I can join to be notified when or where things happen or prints become available?

confused why he would release a print publicly when it is obvious it would instantly be sold on here or ebay for a tenfold multiple. as a newbie who is looking to secure an image i like, i am shocked at how voracious and driven by profit the whole banksy print situation really is .

does seem unlike the banksy ethos to fuel the situation with another release.

what do i know though.

Tell that to Penny haha

You are right : many only come here for free givaways, competition too.. And they win ! I know some of them !
Others only come to sell their Nike print with little aliens on it, etc...
On this forum nobody is talking art anymore since the big bang months ago !
I can't go for holidays, I do nothing for Xmas apart giving kids a few presents, I would not can affrod to buy a print, a banksy print ! ( anyway most will be reserved before the sale on line, why should I sell my Nike Print with little aliens on it , because I have not , or ... for nothing !
I don't like why with street-art - Art is for very riche and closed people , so I leav it already for galleries and musuem - , all social conditions and states with all their injustice could be find in a sale of a print :
the price will be expensive and most will be exclusive, so the poor, stay in your lonely flat and shut, so the rich, c'mon.
Rich people always wins, because of money ( pleonasm ) .

No, false !
You cannot think instead of me, sorry.

If I want a print or a sticker - I prefer a print to finish and close my life with -  of Banksy its because I Love the man, what he has done, the  way of ( private )  life that he has chosen, what he does and what he will do  ! As  I liked Johnny Rotten ! I don't care about money ! I never had money , if I have money, I have money,  and I will buy and bet day by day until I will have nothing ( you can't imagine how much I spent in 3 weeks, years ago, and I did not pass any driving licence, lol )  If I have not, I have not, that's the way of gamblers.

But with art, I don't play, I never has travelled, I never took a plane and I dont care about holidays. I travel with art, horses and wine. Art is not a serious thing - apart for flippers as you said upstairs who give it value - but we can fall in love with. I always love art and artists, music and musicians, horses and cows.
I don't care about the rest.
Sorry for my nervous style but I am fed up here that Nobody, never, never like anymore of my comments or of my post, Yes I know I can f.ck off in my f.cking France and be hacked hated and robbed by foreign invisible members, but I know that I will never have a banksy ( that was the point, only ), because it's reserved to rich persons that even don's ask themselves the question ! ( Yes, I know I make my own art too, and I bought some photos of Roa, buying a Faile to buy a Faile and to flip with does not interest me, I like creation before all ).
hot, today, it's hot.

everyone talking. But why? A single thread and everybody thinks to know things, speculates on a possible realization or whatever. While no one know. It's easy enough to make you react
Here is probably the reason why Banksy no longer works for the sale, he understood that this medium is filled with people who do interressent has a capital gain is expected resale. The majority of people here are exactly what Banksy horror. We give you original has $ 60 in a park and nobody want !!!! Ha Ha Ha !!! And now the whole world speculates for multiple and will fight to get one!
In my opinion, if Banksy has made a multiple sale, it will be very expensive and so it will prevent the sharks to make handsome profits!

" The majority of people here are exactly what Banksy horror " , You are very kind with us, lol
which original costs 60$ ?
I love Banksy since Exit , I never heard about street-art before and I did not care about graffiti, for me it was for hip-hop and I have grown with punk and rokc.. Well,   I felt in love with this, since  the 5 first minutes of the  generic  : BOOM ! Something  with youths, rebellions, anarchy etc... I did not know really about this !
Why do you make generalities, each his own story and it is not because some flipps etc etc... That all Banksy fan ( yes i am ) should be punished !
I will tell you the trhuth  : I would prefer 100 times no print at all : I am broke again. You bet ?
Don't be naughty anyway each his own experience !
The music makes me think to a Scorcese movie ! Excellent !





 

No that's not exactly true : for me, the majority of people does know Banksy. Even in some galleries .
. NY is not Bristol nor London, England is not France nor USA... Banksy is well known only by certain graffiti and/or art lovers, English reader of tabloids etc... As I told you, before the movie, I never heard of Banksy.
Banksy denounced something ( to the World , art critics and admireres as me of his artworks ) in the Botti market : but people thought it was gifts or souvenirs as in a U.S. poundland ( sorry for Banksy ' s art ) but put a Rothko near dustbins per example , nobody will take them home too. Art Has to be known by people . Can we condamn ( blame ? ) people for that ? No. People are people and prefer unfortunately ( for me ) Tv, stars, mobile, Top Ten, pets to humans, MTV, etc etc ....

You just gained my respect. Really. Finally somebody who does not play games and do what a forum should do: sharing info freely. Thank you

Interesting, appreciate the info.

finally, someone with the courage to democratize the forum.

I would suggest calling the artists friends and family spiteful isn't the best way to go about ever getting a new print released to the general public ....... perhaps you should of held you're breathe a lot longer!
