If someone have one for sell, let me know, cheers!

Guessing he’s back from his holiday in Ibiza now

Can’t imagine it’ll be part 2… any ideas?

Prints simples

I had read on a Banksy Fragile post, some bizarre words as «  plus print for Paris and ? » .. Then he updated the comment and took off this - it was 2 weeks ago. 
Anyway also that there will be many surprises in another post as show, etc etc ..
i will have Friday on my mind ..

Buy the book and you'll know a bit better ;-)

The official unofficial photographer of Banksy or the unofficial official photographer of Banksy. From Birmingham. Both love Glastonbury. 
but he was not the only one too… Laz, Jeremy G., aka  Romanywg took this super Zorro per example …

It’s funny, since a while, Banksy did not credited any photographers on his site. Why ? Some may know, not me. 

Well, in fact, nobody knows a lot apart Banksy community..

 

I think it’s very odd how many people made their name by using the banksy name. There’s more photographers aren’t there? Barry Cawston, Steve Cotton (artofthestate) etc etc. Makes you wonder if b does feel used. Either that or he’s some kind of union 🤔🤔🤔

Rapid response from Retail Therapy. All unsigned are being sent out next week. Fairplay to them.

Packaging‑related post to follow.

While it may be of interest to some, its clinical nature is likely to exasperate others.

Non‑nerds are therefore advised to just scroll to the next post.

A packaging success story


Check out the sweet, sharp corners on this recent purchase:






Insignificant to many normal people. And a most welcome, reassuring sight for obsessive‑collector types like myself.

This was a UK shipment that arrived yesterday via Evri.

Initial impressions on packaging


The book wrap mailer came from Kite Packaging, size PP 3.

Along with the self‑seal, an extra piece of parcel tape was applied over the tear‑strip for additional security.








The cardboard was a bit thin compared to other book wrap mailers I've received in the past, but still seemed fit for purpose.

Tilting the parcel from side‑to‑side, the book could be felt shifting back and forth. Less than ideal. Nevertheless, I remained comforted by a photo I'd previously seen, showing that the new packaging included bubble wrap.



Thoughts after closer inspection


On one of the two width‑wise sides of the packaging, the internal flap was a distance of about 4‑5 cm from the edges — leaving a decent amount of protective buffer space if the parcel had been dropped on those edges.

On the other side, however, the internal flap was only about 1 cm from the edges.

This feature will have occurred in transit. As the book was moving around in its packaging, the two internal flaps will have gradually been spreading further apart, and unevenly. During the course of its journey, the book will therefore have created an incrementally larger "wobble space" for itself within the packaging.
















Minor suggestion for future parcels


I would reiterate the tip previously mentioned by 1nkling*, of taping down the internal flaps during packaging:





Between the flaps, the tape can be applied either directly to the bubble‑wrapped book, or (as shown below) to a piece of paper or post‑it note that is first added on top of the bubble wrap.






This will have two benefits:

(i)  keeping the book more snug within its packaging, and less likely to shift around during transit; and

(ii)  keeping the book more centred within its packaging, so that the buffer‑space distance between the packaged book and the edges of the mailer remains more even on both sides.
