It says "exhibition of stencils from 1988 - 2023" but no leak showed either of the 2 stencils they painted this year. 

And yh you would have expected at least something new it they intend to save the market - and not just mug people off for ticket money and tacky merchandise. 

I think the show looks pretty cool. I can appreciate that some might want more, but I get enjoyment from seeing this stuff, I genuinely do. Undoubtedly there'll be more to this show than what we're getting right now.

I think one of the problems is Banksy has this track record for doing exciting things, pushing those boundaries. So a simple (to some) show might seem uninspired.

It's a bit like porn, I guess. When you've watched too much of it, and you need ever-increasing depravity and filth to get the endorphins flowing. When you've seen everything a human can do and insert into another human, and before you know it, a simple show won't satisfy you anymore, and now you're expecting cock up the arse for breakfast.

Just a little excited 😁

This is a photo I found this morning of the graffiti wall. Quite a few people have signed it already.

I know what I’m going to draw (if there is space tomorrow) and I will sign it Acme Thunderer, so bonus points if anyone spots it.

Would love to have seen your bitter mug getting all twisted reading that gushing  press review posted here  🤣🤣🤣🤣 and dont say you havent read it, 🤣

If I had the economic possibility... I filled the house walls with Banksy's works!... Not only for the intrinsic value... but because I love those works!... Too bad I missed the train at the beginning!

If the camera observes the entrance to the door... you can try to sign under the wording CUT & RUN!... You have to be daring! ;-)

Close up of the exterior banners, which can see are cut out. I promise no spoilers. 😉

I've sometimes wondered what it must've been like to have gotten aboard the Banksy train early, even if you just purchased one item. Say you purchased a small canvas at an early show. Every time the market moved insanely upwards, how do you *not* cash-out?

You would have to really love Banksy, be already financially comfortable, or have a crystal ball up your arse to not be tempted to sell at numerous times over the years.

I mean, sometimes an item becomes too valuable to realistically keep. You would ideally love to keep it, but how can you when someone's waving vast quantities of cash at you?

Some folk probably sold and were happy to pay off a car, while others sold at a point they could clear the mortgage. Others are probably now sitting on drug kingpin kind of money. It's quite crazy if you think about it. You have to laugh.

Edit: I think there's also something to be said for sentimental value. Gift items from an artist, they're always more difficult to part with. You have to be in "putting your affairs in order" or black-market-kidney territory for those kind of sales to happen.

JPS will already be in Glasgow putting a work up just around the corner from the venue like at Dismaland.

I leave out my current economic situation and in particular that until 2020.
If I had that many Banksy canvases or prints… I would have been happy to keep them on the wall.
I'm someone who instead of settling for an egg today... can easily wait for a chicken coop tomorrow.
Although such decisions still require sacrifice. As a child I was used to having little or the right. I haven't changed cars since 2004 and it has 400,000 km. I've had the opportunity to change it several times but I preferred something else.
I would hold Banksy to the wall.

p.s. And I'm of the opinion that every Banksy work you sell... at least half you have to give to charity... and 10% you have to shoot at Pest Control.

My husband was born and grew up  in Weston-super-mare, he painted there long before dismaland. (Since 2009) many pieces that went viral, by the way 😉

Jps hasn't posted in this forum since years, but he's asking how your investments are looking now? 😉

Useful information to know beforehand…

He's still reading the conditions. It'll be night soon.
