Thanks so much, it's been a bit of a wake up call! Guess I will have to stop drooling over art now...defo no spare funds But happy in many other ways Cheers Many congrats sleepy!! Definitely worth every cent of the lost extra funds. My daughter has been going to local galleries & exhibits since I can remember. Such a treat to share my love of art & music with her & see her appreciate it as much!

^Federation, it's the same image at different stages of completion. The one posted on banksy's instagram account was what it looked like around the time that dismaland was hosted. Always the perfectionist, he continued to work on it in the studio for many months (the better part of a year) afterwards and the result is the one you posted above. He softened most of the painting up, moved some boats and submerged the color wheel and added the white line above it. The one you have in the post above is the final version and it's a tiny footprint of a painting. But with the white luster and light blue favored over the drab colors, it shines bright with nice lights and can hold a big wall in a less is more kind of way.
That's one of the things with this artist that a lot of people might not be aware of, he continues to work on the paintings after the shows and in many cases totally reworks them by the time they reach collectors. I've noticed people making comments at the other site that that painting of children on swings flying around the guard tower would be better if in fact all of the swings were attached to the tower. That's certainly true and it would be my expectation that they will be connected by the time he finishes that painting. Works like i hate mondays or rickshaw or even that riot painting look nothing like they did when they were first exhibited.

two by Parasite, where he actually cut out rings in the paper to achieve a similar effect. can't find photos but seem to recall he did horizontal ones like the Banksy above as well

The "dismaland_merchandise" Instagram account uses a "shop" on Ebay to www.ebay.com/usr/mr.self-madeThat doesn't look very official. And the Dismaland stuff doesn't look too convincing either.

POW has removed all the Banksy posters and books from it's site... maybe they're dusting the cobwebs off? or maybe just closing up shop

I mean if Dismaland merchandising ( i think that I who was the owner ) , tagged the Walledofhotel under a hoodie under a WSM sky , it is because they know something ( they would not take risks with Banksy because they know him )! anyway .,,

@walledoffhotelstore has also been liking some of my dismaland pics on insta. Is this something the 'official' account would do? Seems unlikely.
