I dont know about anyone else but im getting itchy feet and little more seepage than usual, one things for certain we will be entertained, i doff my hat... Agree, I can't wait Honestly all the print talk is just pathetic. Most people so desperately wanting a print they have not even seen is just sad, especially given the fact that if it does it exist, and if it does look good, they won't get their hands on it. However (and I am just compiling rumours here) the perspective of - a Banksy show in the UK - that could be on for a while so I actually might get a chance to see it - where he is curating some sort of show with other artists Now that sounds fucking brilliant !

Yeah. Print talk makes us sound all needy. Look at the art, enjoy the art.

And Banksy owes us nothing. Unless he owes us money. But that's unlikely. I think? Let's all just enjoy the ride.

Amateur detective hat back on: Steve Lazarides posted this on Twitter today: "Been working on my Fairground project for 25 years, so postponing till April isn't going to Kill me!. It's going to be fucking ace!" 25 years? If one were to believe Steve's bio, that would indicate that maybe Banksy is involved. Yes, I've read that Steve and Banksy are no longer in cahoots, but I don't believe everything I read. Maybe this new "Cans style festival" will take place in or around an abandoned fairground or amusement park? There are many in the UK. Could Lazarides project be Dismaland?
Maybe at Dreamland Margate? Just re-opened but still has elements to be completed over the next year or so (from Wikipedia):
As of the re-opening on 19 June 2015 all rides are up and running with the exception of the Scenic Railway.
Phase 1: Now Open - Amusement Park, Pleasure Gardens, Bandstand, Roller Disco and Diner, Amusement Arcade, Vintage Pinball Arcade, Dreamland Emporium, Octopus's Garden and Ice Cream Parlour.
Phase 2: Opening Late 2015, 2016 - Scenic Railway, Outdoor Event Space, Dark Space, Dreamland Ballroom and Hall by the Sea.
Phase 3: Work Begins 2015, Expected Opening 2016 / 2017 - Dreamland Cinema, Bingo Hall, Sunshine Cafe and Dreamland Arcade.

I give you a lyrics quote from one of my all-time favorite songs for that post: When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed himBy nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact No trade-backs So this is what it's like to be an adult If he only knew now what he knew then I hope it helps a little bit.

Anyone else noticed that over on the Death Star you've got an awful lot of prominent members shifting some serious weight which comes across to me as clearing the decks for a major purchase..
..or it could be just a coincidence i guess

Silenus. In the full sculpture, he is holding Dionysos as a child.
I've always loved the play Cyclops, by Euripides. Here's a summary of it:
When Odysseus arrives he meets Silenus and offers to trade wine for food. Being a servant of Dionysus, Silenus cannot resist obtaining the wine despite the fact that the food is not his to trade. The Cyclops soon arrives and Silenus is quick to accuse Odysseus of stealing the food, swearing to many gods and the Satyrs' lives (who are standing right beside him) that he is telling the truth. His son, a younger and more modern Satyr, tries to tell the truth to the Cyclops in an attempt to help Odysseus. After an argument, the Cyclops brings Odysseus and his crew inside his cave and eats some of them. Odysseus manages to sneak out and is stunned by what he has witnessed. He hatches a scheme to get the Cyclops drunk and burn out his eye with a giant poker after he has passed out from inebriation.
The Cyclops and Silenus drink together, with Silenus attempting to hog the wineskin for himself. When the Cyclops is drunk, he says he is seeing gods and begins to call Silenus Ganymede (the beautiful prince Zeus made his immortal cup bearer). The Cyclops then steals Silenus away into his cave, with the implication that he is about do something sexual to him. Odysseus decides to execute the next phase of his plan. The Satyrs initially offer to help, but later chicken out with a variety of absurd excuses when the time for action actually comes. The annoyed Odysseus gets his crew to help instead, and they burn out the Cyclops' eye.
He had told the Cyclops earlier that his name was 'Noman' or 'Nobody' (Greek outis or mētis), so when the Cyclops yells out who was responsible for blinding him, it sounds like he is saying "No man blinded me". In addition to this pun, there is a less easily translated joke based on the fact that the form of "no man" (mētis) is identical to the word for cleverness or art. The Satyrs have some fun with him over it. Odysseus makes the mistake, however, of blurting out his true name as a result of his big ego. Although he successfully makes his escape, the rest of the troubles Odysseus faces on his voyage home are related to this act, as he then faces the wrath of Poseidon, the father of the Cyclops.

Got to love Wikipedia. Much faster (and better) than writing one myself!

...his name was 'Noman' or 'Nobody' (Greek outis or mētis)...
And how should this be interpreted? Outis?

HankPank, I think it means a party (complete with wine!) is in our midst. As for the Outis thing... who knows.

Old ruins aside, it looks like Nelly Duff says the Banksy curated show will open the 20th. In London.

Is this thread marked private for logged in members? It is invisible when I am logged out on my phone, have not tried it on the laptop. Weird...
Edit: yep this thread is not visible on the laptop when I am not logged in.

Yeah the print release talk is one thing id bet on not happening, the fact people would prob buy a print without even seeing the image is a sad reflection of society. The good thing is the fans who love what hes doing get to enjoy his work without having to pay a shilling, thank you on behalf of all your admirers Mr B, rich or poor. Banksy should release a print with just the words "I'M A C**T". See who buys that.
