Do you know or have you met Banksy?, by JockoLad on Jul 4, 2020 20:03:21 GMT 1, This is not an attempt to out the artist.
A lot of members on the forum have been around ‘the scene’ for a loooong time. Has anybody ever had any direct dealings with or met Banksy in person? Did anyone buy art direct back in the day and have a chat whilst doing so? Does anyone ever drop Banksy a text message to check in during lockdown? Any stories to share of old POW sales/shops etc.?

If you had an open line to banksy , would you shout about on a forum? 🤔😶

I realise that. You could share a story without giving too much away, i.e. ‘A friend once...’, ‘I heard a story that...’.

Do you know or have you met Banksy?, by JockoLad on Jul 4, 2020 20:20:21 GMT 1, I’ve been a member on here for years and would love to hear of the early days if the Banksy phenomenon. I started collecting around the time that all things Banksy We’re really taking off. I would have loved to have been able to attend early shows etc. but such is life.

Old threads are a good read and interesting to find similar questions you ask, most likely with the banksy market as is those that have a pass will keep close to their chest otherwise will be receiving plenty of dms!🤣
Completely off track , a lady gave away a morons print free in America a few years back in a giveaway thread here , are the members still here?

I’ll take that. Must’ve been a bit of a buzz. Would love to make it out at some point in time and regret not making it out to Bethlehem when the Ghetto was there.

Brilliant. Does Invader have the same level of anonymity? Was it art related or just a chit-chat? Nice bloke?

Do you know or have you met Banksy?, by jimmyjam on Jul 4, 2020 21:07:10 GMT 1, It was a quick chat about the Chelsea mosaic he just put up. He was nice not super talkative. His team grabbed him really quickly and said “we need to go now”... off he/they went in a van. Brainwashs manager, who was living in my building at the time, and knows him confirmed It was him.

Must’ve been a bit of a buzz. Would love to make it out at some point in time and regret not making it out to Bethlehem when the Ghetto was there.
I booked a 4 day trip , on the last day they were setting up the nativity play so booked an extra 3 days , met Danny Boyle at the fake star bucks in Bethlehem square ,
Booked all the rooms except the shared lodgings .
VIP room 👌🌟😎
Amazing trip , especially if you are interested in history and architecture, just wandering around town is fun and found the old market where Only the localS Frequent , a must do trip

Do you know or have you met Banksy?, by Greg on Jul 4, 2020 21:26:45 GMT 1, Wisam was holding a meeting inside the hotel one afternoon. There was what looked like an old man (white) on the table next to them just reading a news paper but listening in...
Who ever this person was, they knew everyone on the table next to them and they all left at the same time
There were also two young (white) children that were running around the hotel that were speaking to both Wisams team and the old man. They sounded american and they were not Palestinian
Anyway at the time I thought it was strange, especially when they all left. They "old man" looked like the typical Banksy image...
That is my story and it is most likely me thinking s**t, but it is my memory so f what this forum says 😏😉

Is that a nod to a Santa’s Ghetto? Is there not a photo in Banksy Captured of a rough looking Santa having a good time?

Do you know or have you met Banksy?, by Andy 123 on Jul 5, 2020 10:37:32 GMT 1, Urban Discipline exhibition 2002, if he was at the afterparties or opening / montage time I met him. But at the time he was one of many artists from the show. He also was a guide for a friend of mine in London back in the days. I am not sure if I have or have not met him, we didnt care much about that years ago
