Banksy VIP show Feb’24 print , by hnkpnk on Jun 4, 2024 14:54:21 GMT 1, Yes wow! They pay about market value. With his public releases through the years he has made a lot of poor/middle income people rich(er). Exactly that. What he led the public to believe, however, was that he was advocating peace, that war causes misery for many, not least the less fortunate, and that he supported Labor (or the other way around). So, yes he owes us. In what way does what I wrote lead to what you wrote?

Banksy VIP show Feb’24 print , by hnkpnk on Jun 4, 2024 12:03:56 GMT 1, The collectors are funding his different projects and to some extent the print releases to the general public. What print releases to the general public? Some Fragile, GDP, Sale Ends are the latest I think.

Banksy VIP show Feb’24 print , by hnkpnk on Jun 4, 2024 11:17:13 GMT 1, Originals and small series editions have always sold to collectors/VIPs (except the GDP lottery). It's nothing new and I see nothing wrong with that. When did you have an opportunity of buying an original from source (even if you could afford it)? The collectors are funding his different projects and to some extent the print releases to the general public.
... What did he do recently? A show of his work at a museum in Glasgow and some street art in Ukrain. Well, wow? ... What he does do by selling his work in VIP shows to VIPS is to make the rich richer. ... Yes wow!

Banksy VIP show Feb’24 print , by hnkpnk on Jun 4, 2024 9:35:01 GMT 1, You can see why his market has tanked if he’s only selling through exclusive, private ‘behind closed doors’ events to VIPs. I wonder what genius at Pest Control came up with that idea. Goes against everything he originally stood for. Pathetic. Up there with John Lydon advertising butter. Originals and small series editions have always sold to collectors/VIPs (except the GDP lottery). It's nothing new and I see nothing wrong with that.

Backdoor Banksy Prints, by hnkpnk on Jun 3, 2024 20:48:14 GMT 1, Can I ask this forum if this is a genuine Banksy backdoor print, Im just wondering if its genuine, the stamp looks right but im a bit confused as to why the print has been ripped in half www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235583035714 As the stamp is fake I guess the print also is a fake.

Cd Banksy - Whatshisname -Damien Hirst - Saype - Gottkaiser, by hnkpnk on May 21, 2024 15:44:37 GMT 1, To finish about fake Banksy ( mostly covers ) , where some on here have ( still ?) bought the Banksy years ( I had all of them and I known that it was covers unauthorized) , the monkey Queen per example , paying more than 3 k sometimes )… Or collecting the 4monkeys, the 4 or five Radar Rats etc etc I don’t defend the poster, I’m answering to hkpnk ( I’m on my phone can’t see the name ) ? I don't understand what you're trying to say.
I know that there are people paying a lot for them though they should be worth next to nothing. As with the Paris Hilton fake above.

Cd Banksy - Whatshisname -Damien Hirst - Saype - Gottkaiser, by hnkpnk on May 21, 2024 13:16:50 GMT 1, Correct Paris Hilton cd is a "second version" but there wasn't a second one. Totally fake! There was a second version on sale on Discogs, the Danger mouse reissue - 2000 ex - it’s more a bootleg than a fake .. i had 3 at a moment ( they were available for few quid , look at the prices now !! ) www.discogs.com/fr/release/14482448-Paris-Hilton-Danger-Mouse-Paris A fake or counterfeit is something that is a copy of an existing product trying to deceit the buyer. A bootleg is most often a live recording or a studio outtake. i.e. something that hasn't been released before. Both the counterfeit and bootleg are released by others than the artist/record label and mostly for economic gain. If we are talking records.
This is a fake and not released by either Banksy or Danger Mouse.

WCP The West Country Prince, by hnkpnk on May 17, 2024 16:57:11 GMT 1, Isn't it enough with one Lroy promoting WCP? This not the same, this one is lroy77 ( in 77, I was a punk ). I m not promoting WCP, I know about him since the beginnning and his artworks are made by hands, with papers and ink that Pow used for his prints. I just like quality, because WCP prints are real quality ! Better to promote WCP than Kaws or another posers..
Yes, you are promoting WCP. Kaws is, whether you like it or not, an original artist. WCP is like a bad Clash cover band that you enjoy seeing down the pub because you're drunk and nostalgic.

WCP The West Country Prince, by hnkpnk on May 17, 2024 16:50:00 GMT 1, West Coutry Wow ! The prince !! I got my print Kids of Gun ! Look at this quality. !!!! Top kids ( not Top Gun ✈️) Very haaaaaaaapppppppppyyyyyyyy ! WCP is the dude ! ![](https://i.ibb.co/Q9PwzR0/IMG-3480.jpg) As Banksy didn't release this as a print there is nothing to compare with. And a two colour screen print isn't very hard.
WCP produce mediocre versions of released Banksy prints and a few other Banksy images and there is no reason to celebrate a parasite.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by hnkpnk on May 13, 2024 18:58:21 GMT 1, 10foot is looking at home… ![](https://i.ibb.co/16wWLZV/IMG-1003.jpg) Turn the Invader 'Prints on Paper' the other way round, my OCD is hurting! I know why it's like that, but it's a no from me. This is the correct orientation: ![](https://i.ibb.co/DVnQstD/17155998040352569642106913886020.jpg) I agree but:
“The text orientation on book spines appears to follow regional standards. In most places (like the United States, United Kingdom, Benelux countries, and Scandinavia), titles are usually written top-to-bottom. In some continental European countries (like Germany and France), titles are written bottom-to-top.”

Pest Control COA • Banksy Print Authentication, by hnkpnk on Mar 11, 2024 0:10:20 GMT 1, I was shown this article yesterday and appears to be a problem with a Monkey Queen image. Wasn’t there a fair few back door prints from this run? Yes, I think there were quite a lot of back door Monkey Queens. And as they are indistinguishable from the official edition apart from a number and maybe a signature in pencil it must be next to impossible to determine if real or not if it doesn’t have a paper trail. It also predates the blind stamp even if a lot got it as they sold years after the first release.
If it takes PC a long time to come up with a verdict I’m not surprised.

It’s like he actually gave us all the finger. Whats your sources for there being reissues or new versions? Afaik there’s 1000 silver and smaller editions in different colors of glass. All several years old.

Banksy stuff for sale, by hnkpnk on Feb 14, 2024 23:21:21 GMT 1, hnkpnk They are folded but stored flat for ages So looking good As for provenance that’s not possible as they were given out free in the don’t Panic packs I got mine from carnaby street No one has provenance for these posters I just meant that if they were unfolded it would have been good to know where you got them. I totally agree about the folded ones.

It’s in either very good or very bad company.
According to the author most Banksy are replicas, but not all. And all other stuff are real.
Edit: again according to the author.
I don’t know what to think.

The Collection of Sir Elton John: Opening Night, by hnkpnk on Jan 24, 2024 19:49:59 GMT 1, Well you see Minecrafter, Reader is right. Banksy, the big auction houses, it's a different league. And according to the boys here, you and JPS don't belong there. Most of them don't belong there either. I would be surprised if Robin or others involved knew of their existence. But because they got a Banksy piece in the early days and flipflopped it for a nice amount, they feel special. As they were part of some inner circle. Theyve smelled the dollars, and hold tight to that, and want to smell that scent again and again. I have done some research on this forum over the past few weeks and the conclusion can be, they don't want you here. You shall not become one of them. Nor will I for that matter. It does not necessarily mean they are not nice people. They are quite willing to do you a favour, at least if it has something to do with art. But as soon as they feel you want to belong to them, the first row clan, they will close ranks and shut you out. Let it be a reassurance, it is not Banksy who does this, it is the guys who are not Banksy but want to belong to B so badly. Just ask yourself if you would want to be part of that. On this forum over the years literally hundreds of eBay sellers, gallerists etc got called out and it seems completely normal to alert people on here of fraud (fake di-face tenners, people copying Banksy's work without permission etc etc) but if Banksy himself gets called out for flat-out fraud, it's a big No-Go and everyone gets personal. Plus we are supposed to be armed with a million of reasons to call out Banksys fraud. Why is that? What makes it so different? One day we'll make a book out of all this and hopefully identify some of these cats. Also, part of Banksy's Team are main members here, look out for the 2006 accounts. Why don't you contact the victim of this terrible fraud and let them know about all of your findings?
Oh wait, now I remember. There isn't one.
