Banksy Placards, by Jules Leotard on Nov 29, 2023 5:38:17 GMT 1, Because it came direct from Mason Storm as a Thank You ๐๐ผ Oh, my mistake. I didn't realize Mason Storm was a link in the chain of provenance.
Do tell, will you...er...Mason being doing a release soon? I always say, "A good stir to the pot is necessary to drum up some business!"

Banksy Placards, by reeder77 on Nov 30, 2023 23:11:45 GMT 1, Perhaps I'm mistaken, but isn't the obvious tell here that there is no hole in the cardboard? Were not all of these attached to sticks, as they were designed as protest signs? And the backing board used is incorrect for the event as well. Corrugated cardboard was used.
I know mason. I find him to be great dude (despite what man of you think of him). I've bought many things from him directly (see crypto crucifix I posted in the new art forum) and it's aways quality. So if he gave this to you then, yes, it's 'real.' I.e. its a real mason storm piece of art.
But its not a sign from the original Banksy anti-war protest to which I think you are implying.
Just my two cents.

Iโm sure most of us can agree that this Mason Storm thing is all just a bit painful. Even if he did paint anything for banksy I just really donโt care.

Banksy Placards, by Jules Leotard on Dec 1, 2023 7:23:59 GMT 1, Iโm sure most of us can agree that this Mason Storm thing is all just a bit painful. Even if he did paint anything for banksy I just really donโt care. It's beyond painful. Not to criticize the "he's a great dude" post above, but for a moment let's imagine he has absolutely nothing to do with Banksy period. Then imagine, by creating a tenuous plausibly deniable connection to Banksy people are handing him piles and piles of money hoping to get a 'sniff' at something remotely connected to Banksy. Well, that's pretty abusive and no acting like your a cool dude is ever going to overcome that. Oh wait, we'll give it a pass with his tenuous plausibly deniable connection with mental health issues. End of the story, its not okay. There are struggling up-and-coming artists 'in the manner of' Banksy that people on this forum pan, BUT the big difference is, they aren't pretending to be something they are not. Mason has 'lifted' more Banksy elements than he was involved with, if he were involved with any at all. His personal timeline of development doesn't match up with when Banksy pieces were published either. Personally, I don't think he has ever done any art. I think he outsources it, ships it in, and bills it as his own.

Banksy Placards, by PS on Dec 1, 2023 10:33:12 GMT 1, The detail is clear to seeโฆ. This s an originalโฆ. And not for sale! I did wonder the backstory on this but it seems you avoided that question. Then said it was a gift from Mason Storm. Is the reality that it was part of the ยฃ250 secret Santa from Zebra One Gallery?

Banksy Placards, by trickledown on Dec 1, 2023 11:32:43 GMT 1, Mason has NEVER painted anything for Banksy. The fact that he is generating paintings with MidJourny/Dalle-3 and passing them off as his own should be enough of a giveaway.
