Banksy Welcome Mat, by withnail69 on Feb 19, 2020 15:13:46 GMT 1, Were you actually crying when you wrote this? quick everyone tell his mum! Tell PC , we must snitch.. Hereโs my guess.. James gives zero fucks what you think or he would have hidden his name. Heโs making a quick buck, maybe his kid needs an operation and this is the only way they can afford it? Who are you to judge? This Mat was available for ages on the site, anyone who was paying attention could have got.. Cool story, James. I hope RC (James) needs an operation himself soon

Banksy Welcome Mat, by yapsey on Feb 19, 2020 15:14:51 GMT 1, I was thinking a tight perspex box frame too.... I'll be heading to Ricardo this week, and see what he thinks...
I was going to hang it over my coat rack next to the front door... Not only does it welcome people, but also a good reminder that I'm lucky to have a roof over my head, and not live in an area of conflict...

Banksy Welcome Mat, by kuni on Feb 19, 2020 15:18:53 GMT 1, This is similar to what I'm envisioning. I haven't done the measurements on this particular table to see if it's close, but you get the idea. Be nice if there was a table already out there that would work. Here's a link to the coffee table with display.

Probably something like that, but better looking.

Probably something like that, but better looking. Something like this would position the mat almost on the floor, which I think would be more impactful. Also, I'd go as minimal as possible.

nothing to do with the initial project!

Itโs horrible. Not what people ordered right? But itโs banksy so people want to have it. Found that very strange.

Am I the only one who finds this horrible? nothing to do with the initial project! That's what my last post was referring to, they really dont look like the first one that was made. Is there a colour behind the life jacket ? Like a guide of where to attach the letters?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by wentos on Feb 19, 2020 15:41:54 GMT 1, I donโt know if thatโs just a photo in bad light but mine doesnโt have the shadowing and is really bright, Iโll post a photo later when Iโm home.
Also, they were never going to be identical to the GDP mat, these are handmade as we all knew and expected. A print is a mass produced item and therefore identical, save for some hand finishing, really not sure what people were expecting here.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Feb 19, 2020 15:59:29 GMT 1, I think the new ones are MUCH better!!
You can see the life vests - the materials, textures and colours clearly - the lines are thicker and the hand sewn stitches are clearer.
The bright, reflective, materials (LIFE VESTS) and the work (hand sewn by refugees) are what make these mats unlike any mats out there in this world.
The vest (and all its sad and dark stories) and the hand work (the lives changed, the hope, despite it all) - made the message loud and clear - and made these mats, beautiful works of....art.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by disturbart on Feb 19, 2020 16:13:02 GMT 1, Ive got my mat today, got to say its one of the better examples Ive seen.
However, it still does not match the version in the shop in terms of quality or finish. The strapping around the edge is mainly hidden. The Welcomefont is not as neat or tight as the version in the shop The mat looks smaller to me than the version in the shop
Does anyone have the original dimensions of the one in the shop?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by chefd on Feb 19, 2020 16:22:54 GMT 1, Really like the concept/story behind these, and think the variations only add character.
However, I can't see this is my home, just not sure I could live with it on a wall. The coffee table idea is great, but again just not for me. Full disclosure, I have very little imagination/vision when it comes to interior decor and visualising things.... I often hate an idea but love the reality.
Hope all who have received are happy and inspired!

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Fuzzyduck121 on Feb 19, 2020 16:27:23 GMT 1, Massive Disclaimer
This is not a proper shop - it is an actual shop, it sells stuff and offers refunds and complies with data protection - but all the products are made in an art studio, not a factory. Everything is produced by a handful of people using recycled material wherever possible in a workplace culture of daytime drinking. So there isn't loads of it and it's not all ready to ship straight away. You are advised that GDP may prove to be a disappointing retail experience - especially if you're successful in making a purchase.
