$1400 USD?!?!?! That's smeared. You could have some really nice prints for that amount.

obviously completely smeared, completely.

Fancy. SO CUTE. Silly.

the album is dissapearing from the internet, kind of: several of the albums are gone from ebay, and places where the mixtape track are (illegally) listed for download are being busted down.
example: oink (torrent website) still has the regular album (Paris) for download, but the Banksy track, avalible for download last night with 20-30+ seeders, is now completely gone.

dont believe it. it's only been posted on boards, and only by people who are trying to make it seem that Banksy is cross promoting Paris Hilton and DangerMouse who are on the same music label (are they?)

not sure if anyone cares, but here's something that supports the dangermouse rumor.

Rumor is that Banksy had a little prank at Disneyland over the weekend!!! I have heard there might be more details on the Wooster Collective sight...a Abu Gharib effigy was 'planted' into the scenery of one of the rides.

Also, those of you in the LA area, there is a new Banksy spot on Melrose, as well as a new piece from Shepard that he did today...

A life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee has been placed in Disneyland by "guerrilla artist" Banksy.

Huge !

Someone needs to put an end to the Banksy strike and put him back to work making prints.

And Banksy is featured in the newest issue of 'Swindle', which should be hitting newsstands this week. Banksy did the cover and back cover artwork, Roger and Shepard did the interview and Simon helped out a lot, too.

Go buy it!

does swindle still come in hard and/or soft cover?

No, the current issue (i think). I know it wasn't the Banksy issue, though.

well ... wish i had one of these:

there are some pics up from the show here (last couple of rows):

hopefully they'll have some prints, all the original stuff will be *way* too expensive for me.

Just got back from the Banksy show...EVERYONE IN THE L.A. AREA MUST GO!!! It's just amazing....I won't spoil it for anyone with details, but the scope of ideas and workis overwhelming. Video footage of the Disneyland prank, the Paris Hilton prank....an ACTUAL real live pink elephant in the room. LITERALLY. And the HOllywood crew was there in full force, too- Brad/Angelina, Keanu Reeves, etc....

TOTALLLY NUTS.

Jason Filipow · Post by **Jason Filipow** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 1:03 am

OH, and the Swindle (issue #8 ) should be on newsstands any day now...there were a few copies circulating about the show tonight.

Post by **scud80** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 9:14 am

still don't know if there were any prints for sale (guess i'll find out today).

Post by **rotten** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 9:56 am

reports on banksy forum was that there were prints available....5 or 6, limited to 100 each and already sold out....if that's true then, geee, thanks banksy for letting your general public fans have an actual chance at getting a print, not just the "vip" invite only's. God i hope this info is wrong...were there prints avail. last night Jason?
