Simon Munnery, by tonysantos2001 on Feb 21, 2012 18:14:41 GMT 1, I heard earlier this week that he was about to be outed with regard to his involvement with Banksy.
Now a few websites (notably POPBITCH) have finally done it then it would be interesting to see if this does this change anyones opinions on his work?!
Can't believe it's taken this long to be honest!
Thoughts?!

Simon Munnery, by Goooogle Male on Feb 21, 2012 18:58:35 GMT 1, eerm its not exactly a secret though is it. he has an author's co-write on "wall and piece", and if you google Simon Munnery Banksy there are a number of national newspapers talking about it over various years (including one where banksy put a drunken Simon onto some people in the USA as his lawyer .
I also believe that there was even a Banksy/Munnery print released once at santa's grotto!

Simon Munnery, by Prescription Art on Feb 21, 2012 19:10:19 GMT 1, It's never been a secret that Munnery wrote for Banksy... and they collaborated on these pieces at the Berwick Street Santa's Ghetto:
You can get a book of his from POW as well: www.picturesonwalls.com/Books_Authors.asp?Author=Simon%20Munnery
I did used to enjoy his 'Alan Parker Urban Warrior' column in NME!

Simon Munnery, by tonysantos2001 on Feb 21, 2012 19:31:22 GMT 1, Yeah, I know to those of us that have followed Banksy for a while we knew but what about Joe Public, what will they think?!
(That said they'll probably be to stupid to care!)

Simon Munnery, by Prescription Art on Feb 21, 2012 19:37:00 GMT 1, Well on the basis of recent experience the general public will start shouting 'blek le rat' and 'robbo' in an attempt to appear clever. Thus revealing who did and who didn't watch a rather one-sided channel 4 documentary before christmas.
As far as I can gather hardly anyone in the public eye writes their own speeches or jokes. So not sure how this is a big deal.

Simon Munnery, by faute on Mar 5, 2022 17:46:46 GMT 1, I recently rediscovered a dvd that I have, "IAMTV" by Simon Munnery from 2007. The portrait of Simon Munnery is sprayed. I always wonder who did the stencil and the spraypaint given the ties Banksy and him had in 2007. It's certainly wishfull thinking, since I don't have any element, I'm not a stencil expert and it could be by anyone. But, I'm still curious to simply ask the question here.
Does anybody know? Any chance?

First time I've seen one of these.
My understanding is the DVDs were a limited run, the sleeves were handmade, and each of them was numbered.
Don't know the answer to your query, but I believe you have reasonable cause to be optimistic:
1. Direct supporting evidence would be the artwork itself — its style, including the stencil-cutting style and characteristic underspray, along with the monochrome palette which, among other things, is reminiscent of the Vote Busta Sleazenation cover.
For the text, there is the rubber or sponge stamps, a technique having also been used with some of the Blur singles and the Banksy x Griffin Studio Wrong War anti-war demonstration kit from 2003.
2. Circumstantial supporting evidence would be the timing of the DVD's release (circa August 2007) that you've already referred to.
This was not long after Simon Munnery's contributions to Wall and Piece (first published in 2005), Munnery's own release of How To Live via Pictures On Walls (2005–2006?), the art collaborations between Banksy and Munnery (Santa's Ghetto text paintings on plywood), and Munnery acting as "Banksy's lawyer" when liaising with the press during Barely Legal in Los Angeles (September 2006).
Tentative congratulations.

His website is Simon Munnery dot com but for some reason it won't add to this post?
