Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 17, 2019 11:21:14 GMT 1, Are there tens of thousands of used life jackets? Or will they have to buy new ones to meet the demand? How many life jackets does it take to make one mat?
I bought one. And I feel very lucky.
It’s better than the banksquait - in terms of thought aesthetics, design, wit and humanity.
It’s a better piece of art. All in all.
Possibly the best Banksy has ever done.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 17, 2019 10:00:03 GMT 1, Yeah it’s a purchase, not an “application” to purchase. And it’s a donation. So there’s that. Technically not Exactly a sale item. The money doesn’t go to the shop. There’s no COA etc. The other question is Would you lose your mat if you try to apply for something from the shop? Da dum!!!! Ha ha?! Ok I’ll stop. Thank you.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 17, 2019 7:45:33 GMT 1, i think all this bickering – it being limited/unlimited, how dare they ebay it etc - is helping the demand to stay high - which can only be a good thing.
So bicker on my friends. Bicker on.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 17, 2019 2:21:50 GMT 1, It will be dumb to sell them at only 500 if it’s an Ed of only 1000. Whoever wants one will get one. Everything is designed by banks. It’s unlimited. Like love.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Gentle Mental on Oct 17, 2019 1:39:05 GMT 1, Think about it. Why would anyone sell a Banksy Ed of 1000 for only 500 pounds? Would be the dumbest way to raise funds.

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by Gentle Mental on Oct 16, 2019 12:06:37 GMT 1, If stuff are not priced to market everything will go to the professionals with bots multiple hundreds of credit cards emails whatnot. We stand no chance. The sneakers game has help advanced their tech and techniques to a point even mighty Nike can’t outsmart. We can’t win them on F5s We can’t win them on raffles If there’s massive profits to be made they’ll be there. Can’t think of any other way except to remove the profits - ie price everything to market (with profits going to charity)

BANKSY Gross Domestic Product™, by Gentle Mental on Oct 15, 2019 6:28:47 GMT 1, The unlimited will be 10 pounds The editions will be timed release at 100 -200. The signed limited 15k and up. Everybody will get what they can afford. The rich or the hard cores will get more of course.
It’s not hypocritical - Makes no sense to release at POW prices just so flippers can reap the rewards.
By “flippers” I meant all of us really.
Including that chap that sold the monkey parliament.

Shepard Fairey • Obama Prints, by Gentle Mental on Aug 29, 2019 5:00:06 GMT 1, I have both Progress and Hope offset. They were easy to get. Both took hours before they’ were sold out. The silk screen version looks better - glossy and thicker in Colors. Hope is a tad lighter. They are iconic. like soup cans or Indiana's LOVE. Part of world history now.

Shepard Fairey - Barack Obama - HOPE, by Gentle Mental on Jul 14, 2019 10:53:48 GMT 1, i have both Hope and Progress - the screenprint and the litho, signed numbered. Flat in mylar files. i remember they were up for days before they got sold out. Anyway - these are not beautiful pieces - kinda crude and rushed - but - i don't think there is an art piece that changes in meaning and value from person to person and from year to year as drastically as these. - these are part of history now. so they'll be in my mylar for years to come.. unless buckets of cash is offered.. haha

Pejac - Yin-Yang, by Gentle Mental on Jun 30, 2019 6:42:32 GMT 1, Ah. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. I was swept by hype and have overpaid on crap many times before. I genuinely thought, those hyped pieces were good for my walls.But with a clearer mind later - I wished I spent those thousands of euros on vacations or meals or a new laptop - than a big piece of paper that reminds me what a moron I've been... We, as a group of like minded collectors, like Trump supporters, tend to build isolated bubbles.
We should be more critical - on every release - especially on those charging skyrocket prices - so we don't end up with flat files full of Nick Walkers, Brainwash etc etc... (and maybe artists could be more on their toes with their releases)...
If you have 2400 euros to spare - and you really love this - go for it.
But do go in as informed as you can - know what the different POVs are - and not just the one-sided hyped ones.

Pejac - Yin-Yang, by Gentle Mental on Jun 29, 2019 2:46:41 GMT 1, it's one thing to steal.. banksy and hirst steal all the time... but to steal a cliche is another thing.. and to steal it and barely adding anything new to it is yet another... and to spend 2.4k euros on a cliche and to hang it BIG on your wall for all to see and when asked how much was it, and how much was it to frame.. the cringe factor is a "nexgt level" another, a train wreck IMHO...whoever did this cartoon and all the other variations could and should sue...
