More Hidden Banksys, by James Smith 77 on Mar 10, 2008 19:33:06 GMT 1, There used to be 3 canvases each probably 7ft x 7ft that hung down the outside front of this building. I wish I had pictures. They disappeares probably close ot 3 years ago about the time Banksy was in NYC. They would have been possible to steal, but who knows perhaps someone bought them for 1000.
The canvases were a bit of a story book where the fist showed Mickey and Minnie walking into a subway car with the guy from (Weston Super Mare) sitting on the bench. The 2nd canvas was all black except for 2 pairs of evil eyes (as if the sub way lights went off for a few seconds). The 3rd canvas then showed the lights back on with the inside of the subway car bombed to hell and paper flying about. Brilliant.

That's really interesting about the canvases James..... does anyone have any pictures of these? They'd be great to see....

1999 apparently. This is the room he (apparently) did...
I'm sure the rates will start going up now!

I don't know if they are the same canvases but in SPQR link below, there are four huge canvases outside a building which sound like the ones you are talking about. Its featured in the Graf mag on the first page right hand side and a little bit on the second page on the left.
I know they are not very clear but gives you an idea of the size of them.

AND i've even had that room with the lion and elephant. I've slept in there and didn't even know it was by Banksy. I'll try and dig out some pics of my stay...

Proper mashed up on Yagermeister. That is one funky place to stay. I've got a good story about the shower facilities there but it will have to wait until the kids have gone to bed...

BINGO! That is them.. They were awesome in person. I really hope it was Banksy who went back to the hotel a few years after he painted them and collected them.

More Hidden Banksys, by scavos on Mar 11, 2008 1:18:25 GMT 1, This is a great thread. Thanks for posting prescriptionart. It's sometimes easy too forget how diverse Banksy is. These pics remind me of that eco-friendly fairground ride he did that was recently up for sale.
Good spot too G. This reminded me of the Choe hotel pieces too.
Surely someone can help SPQR out on that other thread in his search for the mag.

They know me down there now hahahah. a few too many Banksy trips.... but it's fucking worth it. he's not only done the room, but also the stairwell and some of the fifth floor.
