New BANKSY stall, by Dive Jedi on Nov 14, 2018 17:32:59 GMT 1, Too bad really the swastika symbol has been hijacked by the pure evil of nazis.
It's in fact a very old symbol that means happiness, holyness and life force - among others.
It's quite pretty. Not ready to have a tattoo of it yet though….

As in many religious beliefs, right is pure and left is evil, and therefore if it is drawn to the left it actually means evil, destruction and dark magic. Orientation matters.

Not ready to have a tattoo of it yet though…. The Swastika is primarily a symbol of good luck, but I suppose you can extrapolate it to holiness if you consider it in its Hindu context (Vishnu), which I'm sure you did. As in many religious beliefs, right is pure and left is evil, and therefore if it is drawn to the left it actually means evil, destruction and dark magic. Orientation matters. |

totally agree .. the symbol was sadly co-opted in the worst possible way - at this time in history it is what it is though and in my opinion be used extremely carefully lest one expose themselves to a good amount of questioning and probing on the true and full meaning of the use.
you guys are stretching the definition of famous artist ..but not going to quibble

When a big swastika popped up on my screen, I almost spit my laphroaig!
I know all the story of the symbol, looks totally (well, kind of) fine in Hindu temples, and I’m aware of its well meaning... but I cannot bloody stomach it - too personal for me.
So image upgrade for my App - hope you guys don’t mind

Anyway, better buy one of those - stamped - instead the swindle ones on ebay !! I saw few ( same ones : the photo looks like taken in an attic ) , sold for half a k. , and we all now that it was one per person, not more ( or the twats had a big family/crew queuing. The best scam since the fake tenners, people on ebay are really dumbs ( or the have too many money to throw on the floor ) ! As I said before, even if the guy have queued at the rubber band party, it's easy to put on the photo the real one and some tats from there, and to sell a fake one ! This kind of people on ebay are upsetting me ! They shout against flippers but THEY nourrish them and make them more and more important ! So they just have to shut up if they have bought fakes !
What a shame !
This banksy market ( as for the vinyls/covers the last past years ) is becoming anything and nothing, weird and silly, and depreciate so all the talent of Banksy ! Non sense !
This was my collection ! Nothing wrong in there , pure beauty and I sold most of them for nothing....

Yes, an extremely bad pun. They’ve tried to replicate the pun in the English title (Wall and piece) but it’s an embarrassing effort.
Mur et spray at least means something and it works at least vaguely on the phonic level well enough to invoke the sound of Guerre et paix.
Puns aren’t easy to translate - in this case it might have been better not to try.

It’s the Inrockuptibles dada or habit to make titles playing with words.
As Liberation but Liberation is the best. I made songs before playing with words, as Gainsbourg done it. We could say that it’s a French speciality but as you said : bad pun mostly

I’m sure the paper will be easy to get hold of.. This would make them pretty much worthless . I’m pretty sure banksy didn’t want all the greedy little piggies cashing in on them hence the free download. I originally put the link up as a bit of a warning to show how easy it is to get mugged off but if you’re happy to keep the hype going fill your booties....Maybe you’re the seller or thinking of selling a few? I can assure you I have never flipped any art in my life. I neither own nor want to own this Banksy poster. But I still don't understand why you keep claiming that the downloads make them "pretty much worthless" when you yourself posted an ebay link showing that they are NOT worthless. There is loads of evidence out there that these posters (downloaded or otherwise) are things that people are perfectly happy to pay good money for. To keep maintaining that they are worthless is absurd.
Looks like you might be right markiemark, this one has been listed at least 6 times and people are still lapping it up every time
