Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by slowmo on May 5, 2008 14:20:47 GMT 1, Went to see the Banksy leopard by the sand pit, someone has built a sand sofa covering it! Doh! Other than that this was awesome, loads of wicked stuff to see, has the misfortune of seeing three very young lads getting thrown out for spraying the road as they hadn't registered, they weren't doing any harm.
Brilliant idea, despite the que, congratulations to all involved, hope this becomes annual.

How can you appreciate the art when there are 15 or so people telling you to get out of the way of there camera phones?
Shame.

have a couple of spare programmes/fanzines for anyone who wants one, that could,nt make it, pm if you want one,

Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by slowmo on May 5, 2008 18:27:54 GMT 1, with only three days opening and such demand, I don't blame them for taking photo's pez, but you're right about it, often I wanted to scrutinise things but cameras at ten feet away wouldn't allow a polite bloke like me to do so.. Once again a great show, loved the have a go aspect of it, so refreshing and showed that truly this whole thing is nothing near done, in fact, it's only just begun.

Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by guest2 on May 5, 2008 18:57:53 GMT 1, Not long got back for the 3rd day in a row and the atmosphere has seemed different every day. Today felt much more festival like . Took my oldest daughter (again) and she enjoyed every minute. Absolutely fantastic long weekend. Must have bumped into half the forum over the last 3 days either in the show or in the All Bar One over the road!
Will go again next sat to see the aftermath, see you all for lunch in the bar!

anyone know how long their planning on keeping it open?

Banksy • Cans Festival • 2008, by alcat82 on May 5, 2008 19:28:34 GMT 1, Went yesterday with the lady and it was quite simply the most fantastic explosion of stencil grafitti i have ever witnessed in my life! As a cheeky bonus managed to pick up an A3 size sprayed sheet of Fark's (is that the correct name?) piece of the girl (large wall, lots of blue)
Is this the moment where grafitti becomes more widely accepted as a legitmiate art form by the masses? You know it's big news when your Mum phones you up and asks if you're going!

god im so confused. No wonder he wants to be out of the spotlight its bonkerrs..
