Following on from yesterday’s story, found this today on t’interweb. Now, i’m posting it here with the complete and utter disclaimer that it might all be a big hoax (about a hoax), but still, it’s funny, and if true, proves a point…
Apparently, according to the news, Banksy is backing Ken Livingstone in the London mayoral [...]
Regular readers may remember the blog i did on Moon Street a few months back, which included quite an old original Banksy on the side of the Full Moon Pub and Youth Hostel, with quite a different tag from normal.
Close up
Well, it’s been getting quite a bit of attention over the last few months, including [...]
Meant to blog these at the end of last week, but the Nick Walker show got in the way. Anyway, really pleased to have these, sent over by Graham Paris, they’re some photos of TCF and Bristol related graf pieces done at Glastonbury Festival over the years, including a bit of Banksy that you may [...]
Said on Monday that there was something else to share with you all about the redevelopment of the Stokes Croft/Cheltenham Road area.
As people round there will know, and as covered here before, there’s a large new development going on by Bath Buildings, featuring eco homes, etc. Ghostboy’s already had his say on what he thinks [...]
You know, there’s just too much on at the moment, got a backlog a mile long, and it seems it’s now nearly a week since this event! Anyway, was an awesome night, so definitely worth reporting.
Last Thursday was the London launch of the ‘Banksy’s Bristol’ book, it having had a Bristol launch last December as [...]
Not much again in central Glastonbury, it’s a different kind of counter culture going on there, and painting on walls doesn’t seem to align that well with chakras, or balance many zeros, or something. I love Glastonbury dearly, but it does have it’s odder edges.
Anyway, back last summer a Banksy appeared in the town, around [...]
Told you there were lots of events coming up in the Bristol graf/street art/whatever scene at the moment.
Oddly enough, both of these ones happen on the same day, 3rd April, in the same city, London.
First up is a London launch for the ‘Banksy’s Bristol’ book, at Cargo in trendy Rivington Street, with more live painting, [...]
Had spotted before that the Andipa Gallery has been busily buying all the Banksys they can get their hands on over the last few years, especially at auctions, and offering them for resale at a frightening markup.
Pleasingly though, it means there’s going to be a show in London starting in a few days time where [...]
Yes, yes, i know, i’m getting sucked into this ridiculous Banksy headline nonsense, but like most media obsessions, it is kinda interesting.
You may remember before how there was talk of the Banksy on Portabello Road being sold for a potential £1m on ebay. Of course, this was just a clever marketing trick on the part [...]
So, as mentioned on this blog before, today was the day of the latest round of ‘urban’ art auctions at Bonhams.
Interesting results, lots of Banksys sold, prints as well as originals, which didn’t used to happen much.
Think whoever got this for £82k (plus premium) got a bargain from a Banksy history point of view, this [...]
