Looks like they’ve changed the description- no longer mention of the original edition of 50 and they’ve hidden the number sold - last time I saw it, it was 76 - so loads of APs being sold with no apparent end in sight!

Banksy Tree Mural • North London, by unforgotten PC Baby on Apr 15, 2024 9:49:14 GMT 1, It might seem like a joke to some but it's not a joke. Someone in the town hall (where I come from) took inspiration from Banksy's work and perhaps misinterpreted the message. In my opinion it's madness. A nearby lighting pole appears to have been taken as a reference. Whoever cut down these trees is certainly not well. Like everything else, there are good tree surgeons and sadly also bad ones. Pollarding can look brutal, but when it's done properly, the tree should actually thrive from it. The above looks like it's been cut back far too severely (to my eye at least, but what do I know) - however, there appear to be a few tentative shoots, which might suggest that it will grow again (albeit, it may take a good while before the tree becomes strong again) - fingers crossed! We need more trees, not less..
Great comparison to the lighting pole .

I imagine he’s thought he could have sold 100 but truth is the edition 50 at £50 was what made it sell quickly.

How’d you get that? The 26 there is people viewing, this all happened overnight so doubt they were flying at 4am, for how long they’ve been up for a smallish artist in Birmingham to sell 50 editions and 8 APs sounds about right to me

These are hand sprayed from stencils, way better than a screeprint, especially for that price, imo. Really happy to have purchased one of these, I think it's a great image.

I have problems with my card. I only have a very small canvas and Jean Jullien's whale, for this very reason. For me, framing a print is too expensive.
I saw that it was hand sprayed with spray paint. Nice piece!

I’ve followed this guy for a few years and have had personal interactions with him several times, only got nice things to say about him so I’m trusting the 50+8 numbers he’s sending out

My order was in the 60's which does suggest more than the 50 + 8 AP's but I'm happy to trust the process.
Especially for £50!

I'm sure with the support of Joe Lycett's socails he'd definitely be able to sell them, he could even use some red glitter paint for the shoes?...Go Dion there's still time, and if you don't have access to a print studio or know how to screen print find someone that does.
