Banksy's on eBay • Real or Fake?, by spirit on Jun 18, 2010 12:01:01 GMT 1,
That is funny...
• Those litho posters were unlimited, not an edition of 500 • He claims 10 were signed by Banksy - but his is supposedly number 165... why would banksy sign that one? • Signature and numbering is a joke

photography or art?, by spirit on Jun 15, 2010 14:48:54 GMT 1, The thread is titled - "photography or art?"
Are you suggesting that the act of posting some photos, without either stating that he took them, or crediting the photographer that did, and thereby raising the question "who took these photos", is in itself art???
If so it's down there with the worst of his "art"...

photography or art?, by spirit on Jun 15, 2010 10:49:43 GMT 1, yeah i like these, i think you might be on to something here Cartrain. but i don't think he took the photos himself, if he did nice, if he didn't, then he should accredit the source
He's certainly been very quiet about that hasn't he...
Agree the photos are pretty good. Unfortunately that makes me think they are not his. If they are, then they are by far the best thing he has done.

Map of London print?, by spirit on Jun 15, 2010 10:13:59 GMT 1, Stephen Walter's 'the island'. Very impressive in real life - large, full of quirkiness and will have everyone trying to spot areas they know. Zoom in using this link www.bl.uk/magnificentmaps/map4.html
Stephen Walter's maps are incredible - unfortunately the Island sold out quite some time ago and goes for about £10K on the secondary... It was also huge - about 2m wide. There is a slightly smaller version (still pretty massive at 148cm wide) called "The Hub" which I managed to pick up at the London print fair a couple of months ago - edition of 50 - listed at £2200.
It's an amazing print - the highlight of the fair imo - I'm not sure if they are still available or if they have sold out now. They are/were published by Tag Fine Arts.

3k to spend on a signed banksy?, by spirit on Jun 11, 2010 14:53:32 GMT 1, I'd get a VLH and an unsigned B&W Trolleys - but as trolleys are out - how about an unsigned LA Morons?
Coincidentally enough, these are the 3 Banksy's I have on the wall...
Apart from those, I'm not really up to speed on current prices either but I would have thought signed Grannies, CND soldiers and maybe Jack and Jill might be in that range too.

most of collection FS, by spirit on May 27, 2010 10:51:23 GMT 1, As i said before i bought the shep piece in an ebay auction and went to collect it from some dude in Archway. I didnt rip this down myself - i never would do that, HOWEVER it had already been done and it was for sale.
So you wouldn't rip it down yourself, but you would buy it off someone else who ripped it down. Bit like saying you wouldn't break into someone's house and steal their TV, but you'd happily wait outside while someone else broke in and nicked it and then buy the TV off them.
Surely you can see how by doing this, you are giving other people the financial motivation to go round ripping things down?

New Nick Walker piece in Bristol, by spirit on May 27, 2010 10:38:20 GMT 1, I've never been a Nick Walker fan, but credit where credit's due - this piece is great. It is also a remarkably appropriate image for a parachute regiment charity auction imo. Well done Nick.

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by spirit on May 26, 2010 18:55:25 GMT 1, rotten - agree with the others that you shouldn't just let this go - You may have learnt your lesson but this guy needs to learn his lesson too. It might not be as expensive to pursue as you think. You may be able to give someone power of attorney who can go through the small claims court on your behalf. Any solicitors on here who could advise on that or help?

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by spirit on May 26, 2010 12:35:23 GMT 1, im sure you also said the same thing yesterday He also claimed to have withdrawn his bid in the other thread.... Look give us a break! im not jwart, i placed the bid removed it yes grant you im a new member but it was an honest request for a QV im based in dubai work afghanistan hence my username marine22. hope this will clear my name iv done nothing wrong imo not to be trusted.
Fairly easy to verify this I should think - if his IP is showing as being in Dubai or Afghanistan then he's probably legit. If it's showing as UK then probably not. Silky?

FS Nick Walker 'WOC 3' FINAL REDUCTION, by spirit on May 26, 2010 11:24:31 GMT 1, Last month, when jwart and theor1 were found to be using the same IP, jwart told me that he had been offered a Queen Vic for £1500. I guess it's the one on ebay.
Interesting that he buys on the secondary and then sells straight away on ebay with no reserve auctions. Quite risky - unless he plans on pulling it if it looks like it might sell for less than he paid for it, or is going to shill it to make sure that doesn't happen. The private auction suggests the latter might be the case.

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by spirit on May 26, 2010 10:25:31 GMT 1, Although the fact that you knew exactly what you were doing suggests to me that the more likely outcome is that "jwart" will disappear from here fairly swiftly and we'll have another "new" member joining very soon.
jwart now shows on here as a guest...
haha - even swifter than I thought.

Banksy Happy Chopper Print, by spirit on May 26, 2010 9:53:18 GMT 1, The fact that he is based in the U.S might make it harder no? You're totally right. If the seller is in the US then the small claims process in the UK will not be an option. The upside of him being in the US is that the courts are a lot more generous with damages so take legal action against him in his own jurisdiction. It may cost a bit more but you'll get it back if you win and then some You may also be able to get contingent fee deal with an attorney in the US. That way you only pay when you get a ruling in your favour
Unfortunately I think it's the other way round - seller in the UK and buyer in the US.
There is no possible defence for selling this print with that description. It's a con, pure and simple.
jwart - you need to give this guy his money back - end of.

Silky, please can you make a note of jwart's IP and any other pertinent details that might help identify him and prevent members getting ripped off by this guy, whatever name he is going under. thanks

AP on Wooster, by spirit on May 26, 2010 0:15:21 GMT 1, According to international law BP has the legal right to blow up it's own pipeline that is damaged and it will immediately stop the flow of the oil. The problem for BP is that once they blow up the pipeline they legally forfeit their future rights to pump from that pipeline - So there is a solution - it's just not in BP's financial interest to do it!!!!!!!!!!!
May I ask where you came across this particular piece of info? Have you got a link? doesn't ring true to me but happy to be proved wrong.
I don't see how blowing anything up is going to help. The oil is coming out under pressure and the equipment that was meant to seal the well in case of emergencies (the blowout preventer) has failed. I would have thought explosives would be more likely to make the problem worse, not better. Also, tomorrow they are going to try and permanently kill the well and fill it with concrete so I don't think there are any plans to reuse this particular well in future. Again, not defending BP, but the idea that they could stop it if they wanted to, but its not in their interest to do so, sounds like misinformation to me - I think at this point they would do ANYTHING they could to stop it.

The expression is actually "I couldn't care less". Think about it - "Could care less" means you still care a bit
troll? now that is rude and nasty - but I couldn't care less.

That's not the first time you've been rude and nasty to me, and I'm assuming it won't be the last. You're the guy who accuses everyone of being him when they stand up and say something about him... I'm not Daniel. My name is Brittany, and I live in Los Angeles. As I've said before, I've purchased prints from Daniel and I've had a good experience. Send me your contact information and I'll call you to prove I'm not him, OK?
You think that was rude and nasty? what a sheltered life you must lead..

JetSet Graffiti, by spirit on May 24, 2010 16:09:32 GMT 1, Blazedoutbee, and bigwilly were 2 of JSG's most outspoken opponents, I think that's why this guy whyhoo joined here and brought this to the community's attention. With another internet troll being found out, I wonder how many other names "blazedoutbee" or "bigwilly" are/were posting under; and I wonder how many of those "names" also have "problems" with JSG? The more things like this come to light; the more I feel this is an organized campaign to destroy his business for some odd reason. Is it out of competition, or out of spite, a personal beef, etc? How many haters have actually done business with JSG, as opposed to going purely off the word of someone like BlazedOutBee/ BigWilly? I would guess there could be quite a few! I guess none of that matters, as long as he's gone and we can move on with some more constructive discussions. I was starting to doubt JSG's word; lesson learned.

King ROBBO 🇬🇧 Banksy v King Robbo • Street Art, by spirit on May 24, 2010 12:45:11 GMT 1, Well I'm certainly not going to defend a major oil company like BP! Totally agree that profiting from activities that you have no way of fixing/controlling if things go wrong, with such devastating consequences, is highly irresponsible.
But then again, so is covering Iraq with hundreds of tons of highly carcinogenic depleted uranium dust with a half life of 4.5 billion years...leading to a massive increase in the cancer rate, particularly in children.
Although for the record, BP is a public company with international employees and shareholders. It is not owned or operated by the British state.

King ROBBO 🇬🇧 Banksy v King Robbo • Street Art, by spirit on May 24, 2010 10:55:01 GMT 1, Interesting reference to omar in NYC in that pic above.
Shame omar hasn't got the brains/wit to modify Banksy's pieces like the UK members of the team.
But I guess "if you don't like it, bomb it" does seem to be the American way...
