Banksy Welcome Mat, by sgolby on Feb 20, 2020 16:20:39 GMT 1, Super excited for this to eventually arrive. I said it before and will say it again, if you sell this on, give the profit to charity, as Banksy said would be appropriate for anyone selling the Flag print for a profit as The proceeds of the original sale were for a charity. Now that i have come down off my high horse, anyone living in the US, tracking will be sent to you once the print has been sent. Love you all. S For those that don't know what I am talking about re flags, see text which was sent along with the original print:

Banksy Welcome Mat, by mojo on Feb 20, 2020 17:11:32 GMT 1, The best thing about these doormats is the lifeline & support it has given to the women that made them.
The irony of these "Welcome" mats arriving in the UK on the very day the Tory government has decided to slam the door on foreigners (unless they're rich) is really quite incredible timing. Nice one Banksy

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Deleted on Feb 20, 2020 18:33:33 GMT 1, I have spoken to someone more in the know than most of us. They aren’t planning a COA currently but it isn’t out of the question Another 500 is possible but no guarantee. 1000 max. There is almost certainly a surprise / reward as the people who bought these immediately sought to give £500 a great cause banksy cares greatly about. These people didn’t instantly want the prints or big ticket pieces. Banksy likes this. This could end up being a numbered 500 edition with COA.. maybe even more! Congrats to those who bought for the right reasons.. you might just get lucky. I think your "someone more in the know" joked you
The reward was the numbered label. This could have been love welcomes branded and really not mentioned banksy at all . As it is it’s a banksy product in collaboration with love welcomes.. and heavily GDP and banksy labelled. Kerching to all the flip squad 😂

My theory was simple. The people buying these that genuinely wanted / expected more than a mat deserved to get played. Imagine genuinely thinking there might be a gift or print included.. for what?? Too funny

It won’t kill them off. There will simply be more of them.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by reg on Feb 20, 2020 20:28:32 GMT 1, I bought a mat for two reasons.
First, once it was apparent when the site opened that it was a lottery, it was obvs that my 500 quid budget was going to be unused.
Second, the end window at GDP. That was the whole point of the show. So many people were ignoring it, clamouring for a handout print or a fomo giveaway. The mat sums up the whole purpose of the show.
What I've now got is a thought provoking piece of art, something that people will ask about when I open the door to my house. Some will call me a snowflake Liberal wanker, others will think I've more money than sense.
Each to their own, eh?

The main thing is you enjoy your purchase, what others think doesn't matter. Enjoy it!

Banksy Welcome Mat, by vvk on Feb 20, 2020 21:21:57 GMT 1, When better out then in was going on in new york, I felt the "horses" piece was the most amazing piece of the show thus far, It was not till I heard the audio track, that I realized how powerful the piece was to me. No other piece of art has made me feel that way until I saw the "in hand pictures" of the welcome mats. To see the dirt and grime on the orange text that is made up of used life jacket makes me take a step back and reevaluate What i do and how i go about my life. the untold stories of the human lives that those repurposed jackets represent is just mind blowing to me, Was it a survivor, someone who passed away, someone murdered, a Childs jacket perhaps?, I may never know. but what it represents is truly powerful. I live in California and I hear stories of people who cross the border from mexico in search of a better life or who are running from harm. Some of the stories involve "coyotes " (paid guides) that help people cross and sometimes those coyotes take peoples money and leave them stranded in the desert just to die. All and all stories that may be similar to what these migrants on the other side of the world are going through.
Whenever I look @ the mat, I cannot help to be reminded of the struggles other people might be facing and it serves as a reminder to be compassionate and caring for others, especially those who may be less fortunate then myself. I take way to much for granted.

Ok 👌 I’ve been thinking about buying one since I went to the Croydon exhibit ... would I really want a life vest on my wall that might have been useless and by traffickers that people paid a massive amounts for there life’s but ended up washed on the Greek shore? That’s a no... I Couldn’t enjoy the ‘art’ it’s so miserable ☹️ yet people are trying to make money out of people who have possibly died! Do you understand why banksy did this? So much greed .. this was the most moving piece along with the toy immigrants... not sure I’d want it on my wall let alone buy it to sell it! Greedy!

Anyone who bought it to sell is a t**t. Simple as that. But it still raises awareness, so whether you would want it on your wall or not is your choice. Banksy didnt say "I've made this mat for you to store away and never look at". The point is to raise awareness, which by displaying it, will do.

But as a rational human being why would you hang an object on your wall as a trophy that someone could have might have died in... you can feel the greed omg I’ve got a banksy... lol .. enjoy looking at a fake life jacket that didn’t work.. did anyone look into the back story? Btw I’ve been a banksy collectors since 2003 so not a dig at him just if I’d brought one ... fuck me it would make me sad looking at it ... that’s not art to me 🤔

Umm that’s impossible to say? Discarded ones that didn’t float or people that managed too reach the Greek shore? Nice peace off unknown on your wall.. lovely 😊

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Terry Fuckwitt on Feb 20, 2020 22:10:29 GMT 1, These are made from discarded life vests, not ones peeled off the bodies of those who unfortunately didn't make it ashore alive. That's not to say it shouldn't make you sad by looking at it. Umm that’s impossible to say? Discarded ones that didn’t float or people that managed too reach the Greek shore? Nice peace off unknown on your wall.. lovely 😊
I'm sure it was quoted somewhere, probably love welcomes that these were worn by migrants that were successful coming ashore.

Why does that matter.. would be more important that hundreds If not thousands that didn’t? Lovely!
