because it would take up a ton of wall space  And that's a bad thing?  not ideal for someone with a tiny house.. I'd figure something out  |

I had to go for the flower thrower even though the odds are massively against me
Hopefully I'll get a chance down the line to try and grab a can

Just wow! Best way of selling art online I've seen so far.
I was at work and during a short break I saw the shop is online and made an impulsive "buy" and went for the basquiat print.
A little bit later I realized how long you could think about all that and the final decision and that there was no need to rush. But no regrets so far. Now it is what it is and we will see. I only regret a little bit that i didn't thought a bit longer about my answer.
But whatever, fun nevertheless! Good luck to all of you!

This online shop is a piece of art itself.

My heart says go for a flower thrower with no chance to get it.
My bank account says yeah sure,keep dreaming..
I haven't apply for anything yet. Will do with a cool head Friday on my day off..
And good luck to all!!

Couple random thoughts:
1) I am surprised that grossdomesticproduct.com was available as a website and he has a trademark next to it? Given it is a common economic term, that must have taken time to setup meaning this wasn’t a “last minute” thing and took some serious planning...plus some lawyers. Anyone have insight/thoughts???
2) The way things are being sold (not first come to boys) and the products themselves are brilliant. I went with rats clock because it reminds me of the BOTI, which was such a fun period of my life rushing to see his works as they got discovered that magical month.
3) Given that the money is going to help refugees and the darkness of so many of the pieces, I was surprised that being funny was determined as the tiebreaker. I guess that is the magic of his work to take somber themes and find a unique angle but that almost devalued the shopping experience for me personally as I guess I probably take these things too seriously (sorry to be a downer)
4) Banksy remains king of PR and would call this another huge success and can’t wait for what’s next!!

I went for the drones, i think theyre ace!
It was a toss up between those and the mounted cuddly animals.
It seems lots of people have gone for the Basquiat print, which looks nice but I'm not a huge Basquiat fan.

When the deadline has passed, I'd be interested in seeing how others responded to the art question (or as best as you can remember).

does art matter?
Yes, that's why I can't stand people who haven't mastered their art - like that cunt Adam Bloom

I went for a can. Spotted some nice looking bell jars in IKEA that I think would be a nice way to display it. Good luck to everyone who went for a print

There must be some sort of predecision. He won't read through hundredthousands of jokes. Might only be important for the smaller editions with only hundreds of interesents. What does 'we check if you are a real art collector' mean? Think i read that after checkout. Maybe if you standing on the pow mailing list? Or will there be a brown coated mysterious visitor in the next days inspecting all the art on my walls? ...I should start a rehang as soon as possible! |

 well they might check who has work registered to them, and then resells it - more than once? i have no idea... check your address and finds its a 12 bedroom mansion in beverly hills..... your probably rich and can afford to buy on secondary market.

Address check would probably kill me as there is an art gallery in the basement of the house I've rented a small flat in  |

Just realized that there seem to be two ways to write definitely. I like definitely more. Will try to learn that.
One of the most impressive things on the wohle thing for me is how easy it is to ban bots at releases. Hope all the online galleries are paying attention!

Hope those who are producing the doormats are getting one as well. Or a gift print or something like that.
