And then unfortunately this, another contrite flippant piece, lost on me totally - fuck.
And when I say it's lost on me, it doesn't mean I don't get it - I do - tox in jail, eines comments at the trial and all that. What I mean is what's the fucking point? Really what is it? It's not even funny.
Anyway, the piece has been boarded up, no doubt some cunt trying to make a penny or two. Witness the final death throes of Banksy's street work - generally dropping in quality and instantly sold. Bollocks.
I suppose it's about the bubble letters often used in graffiti. I'm probably too jaded or cynical, but I can't help wondering if he's just using other people's names or causes here to get publicity for himself. A bit like Princess Diana on her charity missions.
ReplyDeleteOnce somebody has shown themselves to be a really desperate attention seeker who is willing to do almost any stunt to get themselves in the papers then it's kind of difficult to accept anything they do as being sincere.
Bet fragile is gutted he went to that shid ridden field instead of being able to bum this in photos today.
ReplyDeleteShit not shid
ReplyDeleteYid not shid
ReplyDeletecannot think of anything worse than hanging around with 100,000 fragiles up to your fake glasses in shit and mud
ReplyDeleteHaha....clueless twat. Have you ever met fragile or been to glastonbury??
ReplyDeletenope and nope as both sound like a massive waste of time
ReplyDeleteFragile is ok. The Brian Haw piece above was expected i suppose so fair enough and respect for a good bloke, the Tox crap on the other hand is crap.
ReplyDeleteBanksy the opportunistic knob jockey trying to ride off of Tox's fame yet again. He's so desperate to associate himself with illegal graffiti in the hope that some of it's rebelliousness and street cred might rub off on him.
ReplyDeleteSame with Brian Haw. Banksy just used him as an easy way to display a couple of large paintings in central London. It was basically a cheap sales pitch.
My Gawd you're a cynical cunt.

Whilst the 1st paragraph is bang on. The 2nd is way off the mark. Banksy and Brian did well from each other and was way before this new branding/desperate attachment began
Banksy has been about branding from day one. His first exhibition was outside in the road where Cargo nightclub is now. He'd sprayed various stencils on the walls of the railway viaduct and people could look at the images on the street and order whichever ones they wanted to be replicated on canvas and delivered to them. Imagine somebody doing such a blatantly crass commercialisation of street art nowadays...they'd be cunted off mercilessly like Rich Simmons.
ReplyDeleteBanksy might have become a bit more sophisticated in his marketing since then, but he's always been a parasite on whatever trend or cause he can attach his name to.
^bleet bleet bleet^ I don't like Banksy.. ^bleet bleet bleet^. Banksy and Tox are mates, Banksy and Haw go back a long way and his involvement helped raise the profile of his cause. Remember "Wrong War" ? long before there was any money in it. As for the street exhibition and show at Cargo, 30 quid a print, 75 a canvas. Not exactly coining it in was he. And at least the cunt puts his money where his mouth is now. Not like a LOT of street artists we could mention hey. + 1 Banksy.
ReplyDeleteBit of reality for the sheeple...
ReplyDeleteBanksy and Tox ain't mates. Like most graffiti writers, Tox thinks Banksy's a cunt.
The canvases at that street exhibition in Shoreditch were a bit more than 70 quid I think, but nevertheless, still the going rate for an unknown (at the time) artist. The price isn't the issue though, it's the methods used, selling straight from the walls of the street. He's more or less continued in that way ever since, but he just disguises it a bit better now.
Banksy used Brian Haw's art world naivety and trusting nature to exploit him for some free publicity, where he knew his paintings would be in the prime location of a media glare.
Banksy would buy full page ads in newspapers if he could, but he knows that would destroy the last tiny shreds of credibility he has left amongst the public, so the way he does it is to donate some cash to a trendy cause in return for his name being attached to the good deed. His PR agency makes sure this gets him large exposure in all the newspapers. This probably actually works out much cheaper than buying advertising space in terms of coverage gained and has the added advantage of portraying him in a favourable light. It's yet another highly advanced form of stealth marketing.
The mug punters lap it up though. They're so resistant to accepting the truth because their brains have become zombified from being fed too much hype. Being in their sad little Banksy worshipping cult gives them a sense of security that they need to be able to cope with life. Reality is too scary for them, so they tightly cling to their pathetic fanboy existence, because without it their whole lives would crumble into a bleak meaningless void. Nobody likes to admit they've been fooled for 10 years, so the hollow charade has to be maintained and their false idol defended at all costs.
fuck off you whining gypo
ReplyDeleteCompletely lost the argument once again didn't you Wilf, so I see you're resorting to your usual childish self in a misguided attempt to recover from your own humiliation. You always lash out with the racist insults when you can't think of a response don't you. I really pity your tiny intellect and dull lifeless imagination.
ReplyDeleteFuck off Banksy haters! Just because you missed out on a canvas for £200 6 years ago, you are kicking yourselves. Meanwhile I can make your girlfriend suck my large one with one show of my paranoid pictures canvas! Hurts, doesn't it?
ReplyDelete"fuck off you whining gypo"
ReplyDeleteSo that's the considered response from a Banksy fan. Says it all really. I'm sure he's chuffed that he's got people like you defending him. lol
What do you expect? The moron was bleating like a stuck pig about Banksy this and Banksy that, yadda yadda yadda...Paragraphs of sobbing because he missed out on the banksy frenzy and his girl aint feelin the eelus prints nor his knob. Banksy doesn't give a toss about us and that's all good and we can resell his stuff skyhigh too! a win win situation!
ReplyDeleteI sold my cyw to some banker for £4k, how does that make me a mug punter you whining cunt?
ReplyDeleteWho the fuck is 'Wilf'???
ReplyDeleteStop all the hating you fat cunt. Just cos your dicks small and you don't own a banksy. Having to buy cartrain hurts doenst it?
Your about as pathetic as jboys very little helper publicity stunt.
hahaha .... Banksy's sat with loads of dosh in the bank and you lot of pricks on here are just on here going now where doing nothing
ReplyDeleteHmmm...seems like someone's got a strategy to flood this blog with childish inane comments because they don't like the opinions expressed here. Either that or they've got mental problems. It's the same idiot who kept going on about how Eine is so wonderful. I wouldn't be too surprised if it's a professional troll employed by the Banksy corporation.
ReplyDeleteAnother conspiracy theory from comic book guy^^^
ReplyDeleteSo why are you doing it then?
ReplyDeleteJust ignore the troll. He's just as bad as Silky, except that his way of censoring the opinions he doesn't like is to flood this place with childish abuse in an attempt to make it unusable for anyone else.
ReplyDeleteThe comic book guy post was my first comment on this particular thread. It just goes to show how obsessed with uncle wilfsboy you really are. He really done a job on you that time he babysat you eh?
ReplyDeleteNobody called you Wilf though did they. Sounds like you admitted that all by yourself.
ReplyDeleteCrawl back under your bridge troll, we're all wise to your tactics of trying to ruin this place with your idiotic abuse.
Read the thread again you cunt, wilf's name was mentioned. You guys seem to hold him in some kind of high esteem, he's really got to you hasn't he?
ReplyDeleteCrawl back under your bridge troll, we're all wise to your tactics of trying to ruin this place with your idiotic abuse.
ReplyDeleteDr Funky, you should integrate the Disqus comment system with this blog. It's free and easy to do apparently, and it would enable you to easily ban this idiot Wilf who is ruining this place for everybody else. It wouldn't surprise me if he's getting paid to do it by certain street artists/galleries that don't want this place to exist. I'm all for free speech, but he's deliberately trying to stop this place from functioning by spamming it with abusive nonsense. Time for him to go I reckon.
ReplyDeleteMy god you're a dull cunt. Ever stop to think that it's your boring fucking comments that dilute this blog? You pompus nasty fucking cunt. You're just an internet bully whu try to get his own way all the time. Fat fuck.
ReplyDeleteCrawl back under your bridge troll, we're all wise to your tactics of trying to ruin this place with your idiotic abuse.
ReplyDeleteFunky, you asked what the point of this piece is.
ReplyDeleteIt's yet more advertising for the Banksy brand of course. Publicity equals money, so they can't let a fortnight pass without some kind of story for the media. Got to keep the hype machine ticking over. Simple as that.
Crawl back under your bridge, blah blah fucking blah. You're the type of bloke who tells tales to his boss when your colleague sneak an extra five minutes at lunch time. Spineless weasel.
ReplyDeleteCrawl back under your bridge troll, we're all wise to your tactics of trying to ruin this place with your idiotic abuse.
ReplyDeleteYeah Ok john plum. I see why jboy kicked you out now you irritating wigga.

ReplyDeleteThat's right john plum, nine times and counting.

ReplyDeleteThat's some great banter there lads.
ReplyDeleteNo point in trying to banter with a troll.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic, from where I'm sitting you're both trolls.
ReplyDeleteYou obviously don't understand what's going on here then.
ReplyDeleteYou obviously don't understand what a troll is.
ReplyDeleteI think you're the one who is confused. Never mind, you're probably just trolling.
ReplyDeleteJon does not post here and was never in jboy. Jboy were paid off by banksy with free art at xmas for keeping quiet.
ReplyDeleteYep, we're all just trolls ain't we like.
ReplyDeleteHopefully all this shit banter will be deleted by funky to tomorrow and we can all forget it for ever.

ReplyDeleteFunky, can you make the comments load in order of date (oldest first) because at the moment they come up randomised and we have to do it ourselves each time from a drop down menu. Here's how to enable it http://docs.disqus.com/help/21/ Cheers.
