I believe the demographic here was more into the Flower Thrower three piece set.
I am interested in the Banksquiat, but i hold little hope of being chosen. I wrote the lamest entry ever saying i liked the piece and Basquiat is one of the best. It would give me a great laugh if i were chosen
My non eb friends mostly chose the spray can

I guess the cans count as a sculpture? It is very very Banksy.talkingdeads wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 4:12 pmI believe the demographic here was more into the Flower Thrower three piece set.

I love that the t shirts only come in extra small.

I think the spray can is more “pure” a small touch from the beginning when Banksy could tag a wall like anyone else and simply enjoy it

Reading through the GDP thread on UAA is quite the window into the human psyche . Reading each persons' interpretation of the rules in ways that give themselves a better chance than others while demonstrating their superior intellect for deciphering all the hidden clues is fascinating, hilarious, and terrifying.

i am honestly intrigued to find out whether any of this stuff is ACTUALLY for sale or whether it was just a conduit to raise money for refugees via the welcome mats. the handling of the "unlimited" merch seems really strange and the fact shirt sizes are XS.
I can't bring myself to read through all of that, but is there a Cliffs Notes version? I'm intrigued.GoBluePanic wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 10:40 amReading through the GDP thread on UAA is quite the window into the human psyche .

Its comedy over there. So many clowns, know it all's, people who think that Banksy or his team are reading the thread to select worthy winners.. It's all sorts of wild speculation, posturing and jibberish. The arguing over the welcome mat has its own 30 page threadjjbehren wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 11:38 amI can't bring myself to read through all of that, but is there a Cliffs Notes version?

2 of the 3 shirts say XS only, the shredded one and the one that comes with a pendant. I'd guess those aren't meant to be worn, but if you get one, please post pics in the shredded shirt XS!soupysound wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 11:25 ami am honestly intrigued to find out whether any of this stuff is ACTUALLY for sale or whether it was just a conduit to raise money for refugees via the welcome mats. the handling of the "unlimited" merch seems really strange and the fact shirt sizes are XS.
The painted one says sizes vary, but I'm guessing those aren't meant to be worn either.
Apparently some people frame things like shirts...and prints.

I think the "Wealth Solutions" tag for the link to enter the site is an indication of Banksy's intent with this project. With so much recent discussion on the widening wealth gap and the possibility of a universal basic income being a necessity in the not so distant future I think it's his intention to test ideas that may be outside the box. If people want to pay obscene prices for pieces of paper or recycled garbage, great! Put it in the hands of people that could really benefit from the money and let them fleece the rich. I really don't see this being an elaborate ruse to just sell the pieces to known, wealthy collectors in the end. Banksy really doesn't need the money or adulation that badly. I also don't think it's an elaborate ruse to raise money with the Welcome mats. He could have released that on its' own and it would have sold out just as fast. I don't see any upside to Banksy goofing on the general public so he can sit back and laugh with wealthy collectors.soupysound wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 11:25 ami am honestly intrigued to find out whether any of this stuff is ACTUALLY for sale or whether it was just a conduit to raise money for refugees via the welcome mats. the handling of the "unlimited" merch seems really strange and the fact shirt sizes are XS.
With the constant shitstorm the collective governments are unleashing these days I want something positive to believe in so maybe that's leading me to be naive about this whole production. Something good has already come out of it with the sales of the mats, I really want to believe it's going to continue to be good.
I really wish I would have seen those mats in time to grab one.

This is the kind of gold I was hoping for. So they're a bunch of delusional narcissists. Got it.
PS - I kinda wish I would have bought a Welcome Mat.
EDIT: I just checked Ebay. Now I really wish I would have bought a Welcome Mat.
