He put up a bunch of different pieces all over town and this is the only one that’s left because THANKFULLY someone had the foresight to put plexi over it. We’ve got a local asshole who paints over “graffiti” with grey paint and he destroyed a few of them. I’ve never wanted to punch someone in the face so badly.

Brian, he’s only had one show in NY and it was the pet shop grill and nothing was for sale. the reason why the prices were insane at the show you went to was because that wasn’t an official show by banksy, it was a show of banksy works by a bunch of galleries….

Son of a bitch. How come nothing works as a fluke for me? I always wanted a Banksy. His last show in NY was awesome but the prices there were INSANE! Anyone want to do some trading?

u know those random thoughts that come to you every now and then. last nite, the one i went to bed with was that a new banksy was coming out today. dont know where it came from. dismissed it as a silly thought. i couldnt believe it when i awoke and had an email from POW. i just got into Banksy a couple months ago and today I can say I own my 1st Banksy. ain’t life funny?

Its not about the stencil
Its about his previous work, what he has done and who he has influenced – People such as Shepard etc.

You know that anyway otherwise you wouldn’t be on site site and your more intelligent than that otherwise you would not educate yourself in the ways of flipping.

@ kangorillapig
Tesco’s are running a few pilot shops under a different name here – Now if it sold Monster Munch pickle crisps, Jaffa Cakes, Branston Pickle, ambrosia Rice pudding – Then I am all for it.

They will have a hard time here – Trader Joes and Wholefoods will shit on them from a great height – Its a higher quality over here the Brits are not use to.

Well done you two for getting ya print – Now……. How much can I offer you for it ?

Meh.

Write a scraper for the site in Python and have it send you an email to your PDA or whatever. Cake. I’m not the first to have thought of this, I’m sure.

Cheers kangorillapig!

That makes two. Mine was a lot less fluke and more refresh though. Well worth it… = )

Gotta love Banksy . . . this piece was so awesome on the street!

I just checked my e-mails, checked POW and it was up! No sitting around refreshing or anything! If I wasn’t me, I’d hate me!

Yeah, I always found buying prints of street art a bit of a dichotomy. But I’m super chuffed. I doubt he could afford to go out to the Gaza Strip or to New Orleans as often just on book sales. I’d like to think I helped buy a plane ticket.

Moog – The soup can is one of my favourites, I HATE Tescos! I heard they’re trying to open stores in the states, anyone seen one? I know they have their filthy claws into Europe.
