There are numerous people here who bought this. Among those, a smaller percentage have decided to put them in their collections. Maybe this seems silly to talk about, but it does potentially affect a lot of good fellow EB members.

Code: Select all

I know it has already been said, but I'll say it again.
Wait a month, if nobody gets anything, file a paypal claim. Paypal is nice that way.
I think we'll all get our prints... signed and numbered by Banksy, Shep, and Mr Brainwash.

Seems unlikey Mr. Brainwash would adopt an esoteric phish reference if he was going to add to the hoax on here...that's a relic from older EB days.

Then again...maybe we shouldn't underestimate this "force of nature" :violin:

This is an awesome thread. Nothing like playing "Monday Morning Detective" to make the time go by.

I think people will get their posters.

The website has been up quite a while and people have bought from there before, right?

I sent 2 e-mails this morning to info@itsawonderful-world.com (the contact info from paypal) and both got bounced back to me with permanent delivery failure... I'm starting to think the worst...

I have contacted that email address on the page for months and got one response that stated if I wanted some of the 1/1, that I would have to be in the LA area to get them.


The show was put together by quite a few street artists who were getting paid by a foreign dude. There are pics of him out there. I mean some of the show displays had to cost thousands of dollars and tons of man hours. I like to know where they got all the books for that one piece.

I am sure the insiders like Shep and whomever else is part of that scene knows the entire story, but Shep is moving to D.C. to be on Obama's cabinet. He went from hating organized government/an organized power to getting filthy rich off of it. Like I said - Money makes the World Go Around.
