Banksy Safari in London , by reg on Aug 10, 2024 14:42:09 GMT 1, Quite a cryptic message in the Guardian piece
"A seventh image may shortly materialise in another surprising location, the Observer has learned. London residents should keep their eyes peeled, a spokesperson suggested, for a few days more"

Banksy Safari in London , by loui on Aug 10, 2024 14:43:45 GMT 1, ๐ you already modelled as the elephant becoming a zebra I guess so why not ๐ I told you before loui I'm not a zebra - with or without stripes! ๐ ..but I believe I have the perfect qualifications, because I'm 75 going on 116, my eyesight is crap (good pre-requisite for cutting fingers rather than stencils), and I'm not good with heights, so ladder-skills are exceptional. I could be the very first scholar in a 'Banksy Academy' - not that I'd ever graduate, mind, as I easily forget everything that happened yesterday (or even an hour ago)! The upshot of that is that I am still young at heart! ๐

What does Pest Control do that we don't do, apart from make him a packed lunch and tell him, "You can do it!" every morning.

Can somebody tell me why the goat (location) in the Guardian article is so very different from the one on Banksy's Instagram? Even though some details are identical?! (unable to upload photos atm, don't know why) It's just the angle. Banksy's photo is from ground level looking up. The Guardian is on the bridge, almost level with it. There's a drop over the wall from the Guardian shot, at which the Banksy photo was taken. |

Banksy Safari in London , by Lroy on Aug 10, 2024 17:03:23 GMT 1, As a member and another one posted in this thread, I really prefer las artworks as in Kiiv or to help migrants ( in Calais per example ) etc, when there is a message.
Anyway, yes itโs funny and it s lightning my day.
But, well, quality of the stencils depends who made them. You will tell Banksy. Easy โฆ
Iโm pretty sure (or not) that Banksy gives chance to young stencilists ( thatโs why maybe there is always an old orange man in the truck โฆ
Maybe he is founding a school ?
Anyway I donโt regret !
Irony is just less serious, as some of the stencils.
Anyway itโs summer !
Donโt take it too personal, but there are other members tempting to make intellectualise a bit too much, what is a fun.

Banksy Safari in London , by Smokeidaeye on Aug 10, 2024 17:40:50 GMT 1, I do enjoy the posts complaining about the quality of the stencils, as though they commissioned a personal Banksy piece for hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars.
As the Guardian article makes clear, these were created simply to lighten the mood during these crazy times around the globe.
That said, as the owner of a furniture destroying rescue cat, I do love the fact that it is scratching one of the wood panels. It reminds me of the Ukraine "Fragile/Agile" piece a few years ago with the mouse scratching up the cardboard (though that one actually had a deeper message versus a cat doing what cats do).

All part of the act.
