New Banksy?, by d.r. perseus on Aug 14, 2021 7:05:32 GMT 1, Ironically enough, Elon lives in a 50k fabricated home as one of the wealthiest people on the planet.ย ... At his spaceport where he builds rockets and spaceships
Being from LA, the wealthiest donโt walk around flaunting wealth. Yeah they eat at the best restaurants but as opposed to everyone else dressed to the nineโฆ they roll casual. Hilariously judged by everyone in their designer outfits.
Letโs pretend wealth is a cultureโฆor lack of wealth (Appalachian poor isnโt the same as Compton poor) though we both know there is no cohesive idea of culture around wealth.
The idea as brought up as appropriation is absurd. Itโs like saying camping is appropriation of homelessness. Narrow and trolling nonsense.

New Banksy?, by Lroy on Aug 14, 2021 7:20:02 GMT 1, Sorry for my ignorance, but
photo 1 : who is the statue ? Is he drinking a pint or eating an ince cream ? is it this pedophile that Banksy mocked already by the past ?
Photo 2. Was Banksy proud enough of this artwork as it's not in the video, nobody have been " helped " before to find it, or is it one made by a friend of him ? ( Or maybe made after the video then )... Photo 3. : what is this, where is the Banksy 's trace ?
Thank you

New Banksy?, by Lroy on Aug 14, 2021 7:27:07 GMT 1, Very pleased to โfinallyโ see the video. Aside from the ice cream statue which it seems everyone missed the other part I was surprised about was seeing the street blocks being broken for the sand castle piece. I was convinced it was already broken and B saw the opportunity to turn this into a piece. Never stops surprising us  I thought the exact same with the sand castle piece. The ice cream and tongue were probably removed soon after. Some other photos of it may show up now that people know it was Banksy.

As the little characters/figurines in front of the horse in the small village have been removed by Banksy after the video, or ... stolen |

You seem very excited, keeping posting - as trolls - about your disapointment, your critics, your " multi bilionnaire ' obsession thing, etc... Your lack of humor is quite impressive and, you are very busy also, indeed !
So you are in the party innit ?
Those are ones among his best works ( makes me think a bit the Paris artworks, a bit of WSM too... )! Very funny, with irony and messages ( you don't read well sir, put magnificient glasses ) , keeping refreshing us ( despite all what we lived since 2 years because lockdowns etc ) , all the magie of Banksy !
And this video ! boom ! For me staying at home, it's like a great travel, I can smell the seaside, the beers and fish and ships ! And he loves kids, me too, we don't protect enough kids !
as wrote Nietzche โIn every real man, a child is hidden that wants to play.โ

New Banksy?, by Lroy on Aug 14, 2021 8:09:38 GMT 1, Also a multi millionaire in his fifties driving around in that dirty old truck thing. Ok. One thing's for sure. Its Not authentic whatever it is. That motorhome is great! Automatic drop down step, ladder to the roof and even a dream catcher! You're just jealous. It doesn't matter what age you are or how much money you have or haven't got there's never any need to be a snob. Yeah, and this is filmed in low angle/big plan like the first scene of Touch of Evil with the foot of Hans Quilan ( Orson Wells, the cop ) out of the car ( after the long car sequence shot ) !
Do you know that it is the genius Wells that created this ? The big plan on the foot out the car ? It is the most taken over shot in the world in all films (gangsters, Morricone westerns, advertising, etc.) and of all itmes !
It gives body, trunk to the character without ... seeing his body!
Excellent since the first seconds ( the foot is just beforethe 58 seconds in the video but unfortunately not kept in this teaser )!

Yeah, pictured on the Banksy website. Not sure when it appeared as nobody seems to have snapped it even though itโs close to the grabber in Gorleston.

Iโve updated this if anyone wants a handy guide to the 10 Banksy: A guide to his 'Great British Spraycation' www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-58145220
The pool piece must have been buffed very quickly. It would have been obvious despite its size. It was buffed on Monday morning so I would suspect over the preceding weekend or even earlier.

New Banksy?, by mono on Aug 14, 2021 10:28:25 GMT 1, I drove there from the south and now really do hope itโs all team B , a collection of genius ideas being painted up in a matter of days. This was planned for months. I donโt have any doubt in any of them but with the time ticking could this be the biggest fake out there?! Speaking to the owner of the model village did send alarm bells ringing, he said the group of โladsโ had a drone that they sent up as they predict the house was being placed. Apparently one of the gardeners took it down with a fishing net. What does keep my confidence is that at almost all of the street pieces I found the exact same white branded bungee clips that team B has used on recent pieces like the reading prison etc. Time will tell !
Yeah funny, that's what the gardener told me when I visited last week, that they'd pulled down the drone was a fishing net ๐คฃ Wonder if it effected the final cut or was on landing. Really nice chaps at the model village, very happy for them.

It doesn't matter what age you are or how much money you have or haven't got there's never any need to be a snob.
Isn't it a classic Bedford Camper Van?... great British Camper Van For A Great British spraycation. ๐

New Banksy?, by Discerning Eye on Aug 14, 2021 16:27:18 GMT 1, As far as this new set of work goes, Iโll just say that itmakes me happy to have more Banksy in the world.
Probably most of you noted this, but Iโm just going to throw this out there - I was watching the video again and thinking about that funny little accordion cover of โDance Monkeyโ as the soundtrack. The accordion may reference the accordion player of the bus shelter dancers piece. The monkey seems to reference B himself, Iโm guessing. As I looked at the lyrics again, I thought maybe heโs talking about himself and how the public often demands more of his work and how he always has to perform for us, the audience. The pressure not to disappoint us.
Also, I didnโt know the song was written by a street artist, a street performer, a busker named Toni Watson (aka Tones and I) in Australia. So thatโs another cool tie-in. Hereโs some info I saw on Wikipedia about her and the song that I thought was interesting:
When interviewed by DJ Smallzy in July 2019 on Australian radio station Nova FM, Tones explained that Dance Monkey's lyrics are about the relationship she had with her audience when she was busking (street performing) on the streets of Australia:
"I wrote this song when I was busking, and about the pressure that I felt to always be entertaining people on the street. And if they didn't like it, when they looked at their phones they could just click something else; ... we are all so used to being entertained at the click of a button."
"So when you're [busking] on the street, .. to command [your] attention, people would be like: 'again! again!' .. 'more! more!' .. or they would just leave. So if you replace [the lyric]: 'dance for me, dance for me' with 'sing for me, sing for me,' it's pretty literal," she said.[13]
As far as this new set of work goes, Iโll just say that itmakes me happy to have more Banksy in the world.

The accordion may reference the accordion player of the bus shelter dancers piece. The monkey seems to reference B himself, Iโm guessing. As I looked at the lyrics again, I thought maybe heโs talking about himself and how the public often demands more of his work and how he always has to perform for us, the audience. The pressure not to disappoint us.
Also, I didnโt know the song was written by a street artist, a street performer, a busker named Toni Watson (aka Tones and I) in Australia. So thatโs another cool tie-in. Hereโs some info I saw on Wikipedia about her and the song that I thought was interesting:
When interviewed by DJ Smallzy in July 2019 on Australian radio station Nova FM, Tones explained that Dance Monkey's lyrics are about the relationship she had with her audience when she was busking (street performing) on the streets of Australia:
"I wrote this song when I was busking, and about the pressure that I felt to always be entertaining people on the street. And if they didn't like it, when they looked at their phones they could just click something else; ... we are all so used to being entertained at the click of a button."
"So when you're [busking] on the street, .. to command [your] attention, people would be like: 'again! again!' .. 'more! more!' .. or they would just leave. So if you replace [the lyric]: 'dance for me, dance for me' with 'sing for me, sing for me,' it's pretty literal," she said.[13]

New Banksy?, by Buff Monster Fan on Aug 14, 2021 16:37:10 GMT 1, Discerning Eye - great digging here. One of the first things that struck me about Banksy's video was the song choice. I'm sure it's no coincidence.

New Banksy?, by artzhole on Aug 14, 2021 16:49:42 GMT 1, What exactly is "pretending to be poor"? Driving around it that thing. It's a cheap, old caravan. He's not poor. Sorry to break this to you. It's inauthentic. Isn't it cultural appropriation? I dunno. He should use his normal Tesla or whatever it is he drives in now. Why not?
Do you have the same opinions about music videos?...eg most of the rappers waving money & hand guns about ect.. is just for the video.
I'm pretty sure Alice Cooper doesn't go to lunch on a normal day dressed in leather with full face paints either.
It's a short film showing Banksy doing some street work in a classic Great British Bedford (I believe) camper van.
.... I think its great seeing clips of each piece being done especially the Reading prison one.
