Hello, So before the whole Dismaland thing went public I was lurking on the forum reading about the predictions here. I've just signed up because I'm interested to know what you guys think about this. I live in Weston Super Mare. I was cycling home from work last night at around 6:30 and I spotted a chap wearing a tracksuit, hoodie (with facial bandana) walking what seemed to be a wooden dog on wheels on the promenade (slightly further down from Dismaland). He was handing out leaflets and I decided to cycle up to him and grab one.   Any ideas what this is, or recognize the signature? It looks like it came out of a 1996 epson printer. |

I've no idea who that is. Quite a few people are taking advantage of the influx of art lovers to Weston though, so it could be a local (or unlocal) artist handing out some freebies. Consider it a souvenir. Did you happen to get a photo of the dog? |

its a bit of a mess and the message is pretty unsophisticated but as an art happening isn't new - some random was handing out "I wish I has as much money as banksy" stuff at the Oxford St ghetto. a million years ago

Welcome aboard. Looks a bit like 'R Harris'. Could be wrong though?

I didn't get a picture of the dog. The best way to describe it would be a single piece of wood ,painted white with black outlines around the edge. This is a basic version but similar shape.  It had tiny little wheels on it's legs. (it looked pretty funny) |

It was very similar! It was hard to find an image that really matched it. But that has the outline and everything. The wheels were directly on the legs though I think. Guessing the guy was imitating this image.  |

A Wynn is his artistic moniker but he is also known as Rodney Trotter one of Peckham's finest!! |
