Need your help!

I'm making a Banksy Timeline
www.hankpank.net/banksy/timeline/


I want to concentrate on official events: such as exhibitions, prints, books and larger street pieces, so all *facts* are welcome. And I don't want it to be text/pic heavy. The dates are what is important.

If you can say "Happy Chopper was released 15 Jan 2003 give or take a week" (not true) it would be perfect. Please give event, date, link to facts and link to pic if possible.

The code behind the timeline is developed by MIT and I don't have much control of the design at the moment. The documentation isn't very easy to read for a beginner, but I learn bit by bit. For a cool example based on the same code check out the "The JFK Assassination Timeline":

I'm afraid I don't have much to add but awesome idea and very informative. I wonder what the next thing on the timeline will be going forward

Good luck

In fact, something that may help:

If you go to google news and type in 'Banksy location:uk', you will then be able to view some news stories from the past 10 years re. Banksy. In the left hand menu, click on the year and have a scroll around for anything that interests you. Obviously this only brings up things that made the news but interesting nevertheless

Brilliant idea and service icky! Not much use to you myself but this initiative would definately help people, in a position to do so, to fill the gaps in their collection. I Was an Elvis freak when I was young and had a scrapbook with any pictures of him I could find in papers etc... In it I wrote out a list of every film he was ever in and would tick the list every time I saw one. I later grew up to be hetero and am now happily married!

probabaly worth listing the stickers in there, the car, etc.


there is also a good bit of info in these two forums:
banksyforum.proboards82.com/index.cgi?board=banksyprints

banksyforum.proboards82.com/index.cgi?board=origcanvas

nice work so far, well done

So Banksy is the reason why I'm single?

Nice work Icky. Is it going to be readily available when it's finished? I liked going through it, especially between 2000 and 2003. It would be great to use more picture drop downs of say, what was on show at exhibitions like the Severnshed and more detailed print pictures etc. It's brilliant though. Really like it!

Great stuff Icky, really good idea, if I can think of anything I will let you know. Just reading on your website about your banksy trip to london. Great read!

don‘t think he did dude - the timeline therein is poor by comparison.

the book otherwise is not bad - quite well researched - i hear.

It's on the Internet, what more do you want?

Shit. I had totally forgotten about this. I even have the book.
Well, the Banksys Bristol one is not as detailed, it's only text based and it's static, so mine wins!

The books not bad, btw.

And thanks for all tips and praise. I don't know how much time I will put into it, but I see it as a long-term project and I'm in no hurry.

Nice work , hope this early info is useful.

According to Absolutebigtops , who hire circus tents to events, they collaborated with
Banksy in 1999 and 2000 when they made their trailer available for various large works.
June 1999: Silent Majoritie with Inkie at Glastonbury, part of the HipHop Phenomenon event at the dance tent.




August 1999: Lizard Festival during solar eclipse Banksy created the work later to be known as Fungle Junk



June? 2000: Glastonbury , Trailer is parked in Lost Vaugeness zone where Banksy overpainted the work created at the Lizard Festival.



Norfolk 2000....
