is the '3 flying ducks' (ideally set against a feature 'murial') just a british thing, or are they popular with the blue collar 'murican homes too?  |

^ I believe a British thing but thanks for the explanation. Those plastic drones above the new charity piece and Jesus in the lobby were available in the gift shop for spare change when i visited Walled off.

Banksy. Not 'B'. Not 'Mr B'. Not 'The B Meister'. Not 'The Big Bad B'. Just Banksy. It's there, in his signature... Don't forget, he's got a couple of houses, a couple of kids and a number of staff to support. Surprised he hasn't done a whole lot more to be honest... I like B Meister. hope it sticks |

not suggesting anything beyond, after following B for 10+, years something to me just feels "off"...don't know anyway else to describe it. especially the interview, IG account, and gift shop. also, Fragile leaving as for the GWB prints, yes I'm sure the money went to fund Dismaland, but don't forget about the private sales of canvases... it's not like there hasn't been a steady stream of income this whole time who knows... maybe I'm just jaded  Fragile is leaving? Not on Instagram so I maybe missed something here. Can you explain that to me please? Did he say that on Instagram? You can keep it secret and write a pm if that is necessary... |

Foreign language and too much interpretation, sorry. |

Are those some self made plastic drones or was it a kit or something like that: www.amazon.com/Revell-Germany-Reaper-Predator-Plastic/dp/B0094ESWEY |

The gwb variants were released long before dismalamd along with some other variants too, they were clearly done to aid with the funding of that project. I'd suggest banksy for the main only uses VIP print releases to aid with such things. But has clearly fallen out of love with the medium. Btw I really like the drone strike piece . VIP releases to fund other stuff was always my understanding. Agains, good thing. Walled Off Hotel? An amazing fucking project. I reckon everyone's arse is nipping, completely unknown territory. Bits will go right, bits will go wrong, bits will be misunderstood etc etc. It's nice to just enjoy it, without worrying about 'getting a bit'... The hotel is fucking wonderful, my point was simply, power it with your gift shop in a properly thought out way, rather than the ill planned 'surprises' we've witnessed |
