BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Dr Plip on Sept 1, 2015 19:35:34 GMT 1, It's a bit depressing to see more figures apparently taken from the Cauty diorama turning up on eBay.
I really loved that model. I hate to think that it's slowly being picked apart.
Would these sellers be ok if we just went into their house and took something off the shelf to eBay?
And I've lost count of how many ducks have appeared on eBay. Some shameless descriptions too. How can you say s**t like:
"I visited Dismaland yesterday, and wanted to take home a one off piece that not everyone would have. With a bit of timing and impeccable fishing skill i managed to hook a duck unnoticed and put it in my pocket."
Yeah, you really wanted to take home a piece that not everyone would have. TO EBAY! T**t!
Or
"I was lucky enough to hook a duck from the oil spill stand and was sneaky enough to take the duck when the guy had his back turned. I have photos of the stand but not a pic with me taking the duck as I was trying to be quick and not get caught!"
You're putting in your actual eBay description that you stole the item???!! What the f**k?
And people are paying real money for these items too!!
I just don't get it.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Tommy Tucker on Sept 1, 2015 19:50:59 GMT 1, So I went today and wow. I went to the first sitting and only managed to bag me a bloody riot shields. I'm so happy. Then spent the rest of my time taking it all in. I am going back as soon as I can.
When I went to buy my shield there were 10 available and I asked how many I could buy. Replied, as many as you want. I said 'I'll take 4'. Almost got away with it until a guy came over quickly to say one per person. I can't complain though as at least the others went to a good home.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by coller on Sept 1, 2015 21:05:14 GMT 1, I thought I hit the Mother Load on Saturday Night. I noticed 2 suspicious guys hiding some art behind a ride. I went to see what it was and I thought it was a Banksy tenner modified for the show. I didin't realize it wasn't a Banksy until after the show when I read the back of the note. It turned out to be a Lewis Bannister / Copymenot note but I still like it. Contact Lewis and ask if you can trade the fiver in for 5 ones

Because idiots are paying 5X retail on ebay and probably think they are "Banksy" items

When others book a flight and go ! Maybe Didmslsnd I'd for UK people and I understand and for world artists, Vip, ans collectors... Playing the game ok but I am not an imbecile too.

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by A.R.T. on Sept 1, 2015 21:36:10 GMT 1, These are some of my favorite items that have come out of the Dismaland excitement. The original double sided Disney Dollar versions are hand painted.

On the spoiler thread now, sorry it's not a great video.
In all the Dismaland excitement I've earned my third star! Before this Dismaland thread I was only on about 13 posts.
I'm very excited because I believe once you have 3 stars your exempt from the unwritten rules around flipping of prints-am I wrong? (joke)
I will run a comp to celebrate over the next few days.

They have released another edition - of the type that are smaller and have a lip around them. Edition of 40 and they said they are selling 10 per day. I would expect another edition after that...
The shield looks like this (I think this is SRS-5) - obviously the smile and eye shapes differ between SRS editions

You might not get in, as there'll be a queue of people with tickets in front of the queue of people without tickets.
Probably best to try to get a ticket. Shouldn't be too difficult. I'm hoping anyway.

£145 if I recall but that was a good few years ago....... Have to agree dibbs, the cauty piece was one of my top highlights, spent a good 45 mins in there, I did a few videos with the gopro on the stick so managed to stick it in over and above the whole set up

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by 11 on Sept 1, 2015 23:08:01 GMT 1, Was just about to write war and peace about my last 2 days as it was very different, but thought I'd try and keep it to the point
Security is a little more thorough as they are pissed with people taking stickers and in slapping them about. Programmes and prints were sold-out completely - they will be getting more in 'soon' The prints that were previously being sold for £10 are now £20 There was another edition of the Cauty shield - ed. of 40 and only 10 sold per day, 1 per person. The wristbands were all gone - the guy didn't know when they would get more. The prices on the games had doubled to £2 There were only 3 ducks with hooks - the rest were small rubber ducklings so you have 7 or 8 rods going for 3 ducks. The Cinderella and Cauty rooms are much brighter (they were pitch black before) - i can only assume because people have obviously swiped pieces of the cauty and maybe tried to swipe pieces of the cinderella carriage The queues at 8pm (when we roughly walked in) were massive for everything, even things like pocket money loans, the banner tent and the cruelty bus....i mean massive The Pizza dudes have upped their game and turn an order around in about 25 mins - they don't talk about black Friday -_- The Grim Reaper was fooked - It gets 3/4 way through the Bee Gees and has a fit then limps off - happened every time i saw it last night and again today. They've added the snake swallowing mickey mouse to the main gallery - i don't know where it was before and placed a flying seagull above the seagull lady on the bench There was a falafel stall as well (at the night time but not in the day) - they looked very good but had already stocked up on pizza If you're going to get in at the start you need to queue about 60-90 mins before
The park got much quieter after about 9:30 at which point virtually all of the queues had gone and we could have a fantastic time taking in all the pieces, partaking on all of the rides and the main gallery was virtually empty. Making it a great opportunity to actually admire the art and take it in without people walking across you or being hurried along. I was one of the very last people in the gallery as they closed and it was a lovely experience to be able to walk around in peace, as though it was almost a private viewing just for oneself.
Went back today and got in the queue at about 9:45 and were in the first row. That was a good move as again, could go around and look at the bits I wanted to in relative peace. It takes a good hour before it reaches the tipping-point and queues start forming, I assume they also disappear again mid-afternoon but at there peak are a nightmare - worth factoring that into your plans
Edit : Haha - imagine what war an peace would have been !!

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by 11 on Sept 1, 2015 23:09:50 GMT 1, So what's the deal if I turn up without tickets... Is it just a huge queue and hope to get in? definitely get a ticket - they turned 400 people away on Saturday and the queue for walk-ups today started before the main queue did. There were a good few hundred again and I do not think they let very many (if any in)

BANKSY Curated Show "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by 11 on Sept 1, 2015 23:23:08 GMT 1, I remember when these riots shields came out a few years ago. £195 or whatever they were. What difference a show makes to their popularity. Cauty's installation was a real highlight though to be fair. The Cauty piece has become a bit of a conveyor belt when viewing at the busy times and it was a bit annoying when trying to spot the various bits in the apartments when they go 'Guy in the Polo Shirt - keep moving - you're holding up the queue' and I'm yelling 'yes, trying to enjoy a piece of art, not a f**king model village' - this wasn't 'dismal', they were genuinely trying to shuffle people along which i didn't appreciate as you couldn't take it all in. I tried to go back round but told I had to go join the back of the queue.....walked out, no queue and walked straight back in again - smug as f**k!
That was the only time I've had issue with the attitudes as it wasn't so much dismal but much more disney
