New Banksy - UK Election Souvenir Special, by pada1 on Jun 4, 2017 9:38:08 GMT 1, FFS people stop whinging! What democracy are you talking about?! Trump election? The UK referendum? Banksy has been preaching from the very start with every work he created and suddenly you are shocked! And what the hell are you doing? Are you not "Preaching"! Be honest, the preachers here are only complaining because they don't qualify for one you.
I don't think Banksy is preaching anything here. He is more buying votes. That's shocking for someone who supposed to value moral and freedom.

That's true but promises aren't yet a currency.

New Banksy - UK Election Souvenir Special, by kaos on Jun 4, 2017 9:50:03 GMT 1, I am reminded of a little old story I'm sure some of you might have heard before:
ONE hot summerโs day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. โJust the things to quench my thirst,โ quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: โI am sure they are sour.โ
Moral of the story - It is easy to despise what you cannot get.

It's another thing entirely to give up on getting your message across and simply offer a reward for getting action you want. It doesn't feel Banksy to me. We all know the prints will have significant monetary value.

All this talk of print prices dropping as a result is madness they will only increase!
I personally don't think there will be a print run, a PDF download maybe or something akin.
It's going to be a interesting week !

Agree - due to logistics most likely will have to be an offset litho. That's my bet, if this does materialise into something.

This stunt will go to prove how popular his stuff his, I think this will open the door for many more prints, and about time too!
Prices for this one will be low, hie many "real" examples will pop up for sale, 50k plus along with another 100k fakes - the market will be totally saturated with them!!
For the first time ever with Banksy, supply will exceed demand. Plus the image is pretty naff and only really for the British audience, if our American pals/ ebeaners can't make money from it they won't be too interested

And it's a 'limited edition', so guessing some sort of random giveaway. Might be Tesco petrol bomb poster numbers

A banksy print is considered as a currency nowadays.
It will be given "for free" (ie not in exchange of any money) and most of the people who will claim it will be looking to sell it.
Bottom line: Banksy knows the value of his art, after holding for so many years in releasing prints for the "poor". He is now giving one away in exchange of a vote.

New Banksy - UK Election Souvenir Special, by Hairbland on Jun 4, 2017 12:10:58 GMT 1, I didn't read the 11 pages of comments so what i am about to write has been probably already posted before. Just take it as another dude's. I am shocked to see an artist using his influence to manipulate democrqcy. Banksy is known and famous for his poticial aspiration. I think it's fine to shae his ideas and criticism while not invading other's privacy and decision making. With what he is proposing now, he is voluntary asking people to follow his vote and will pay for it (print, money, it's the same. Let's be honest.). He may have good reason or belief to do it, it's not right morally speaking. So far, he was defending the freedom of speech and power to the people. This is just against it for me. Banksy, if you want to do politics the way polician do. Reveal your identity and apply to be an official next time.
I think we need artists, and anyone one else we can get, to save (I think you meant save, not manipulate) democracy. I have no issues with this whatsoever. Save the planet, save the people!

Banksy said this "the masses, and especially Bristolians, are just thick."
according to this article. www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/2076
are people so shallow or so stupid that they need Banksy to tell them how to vote, that they cannot decide themselves who to vote for.
The print is a ltd edition which means the chances of anyone dancing to Bankys tune of getting one are very slim.
It's all shades of let them eat cake.
