Re: Banksy shredded!

Hi

I enjoy Art, I buy it because I enjoy it, not for how much profit I can make.

I have recently bought a painting done by a Downs Syndrome Girl.

It was so important to her, money well spent.

It was worth it just to see the joy on her face.

To me that is so much more important than any famous painting.

Re: Banksy shredded!

It is a load of tosh really. However, good luck to the man, he has real talent and a good sense of humour.

He also has an aim, namely to emphasise the stupidity, violence and cruelty of the human being.

If he can earn lots of money from his artistic talent-with-a-message, then the best of luck to him.

The next question is, how does he manage to receive his money from all these paintings/drawings. There must be somebody out there who knows who he is ! Excuse me Mr/Mrs Somebody, could you pass on to Banksy how I've stuck up for him and that I wish him well ?

Banksy is no stranger to publicity stunts. He once sold 'fake' Banksy art from a stall for twenty quid each. They were genuine and are now worth £60k.

Why anyone would give even one penny for that graffiti vandal's offerings is well beyond me.

Re: Banksy shredded!

And while we’re on the subject, I can never understand how a person suddenly becomes a ‘label’ that everyone wants to buy or be seen wearing.
