Photo taken inside Banksy's studio in 2001. Depicts a Mickey Mouse mask that he shot several bullet holes in. Don't think it ever saw the light of day, outside of the studio.

easier to just link to the blog where you've been taking (and cropping out the watermark) those pictures Viva.

Ha, thanks for the plug. That's my blog ilmambo, but I'm not one to blow my own trumpet.
Here's something that didn't make the site, but I might put it up today, if I can be arsed.

Early freehand piece in Southmead, Bristol from 1999, work in progress shot and finished piece.
About as obscure as you can get.

Some great pics on there!.

if that's your blog, you posted some good stuff there.
I'm sure no one would have minded if you left the watermark/posted a direct link to it.

Thanks Wiz.

ilmambo, you sound sceptical, but thanks.

I see he was using the old faithful Carplan spray paint

I'm not, really, I just didn't know it was yours. I've been visiting your blog every now and then since you started it and always enjoyed it.
The idea of the crowdsourced book with Banksy rarities was also very nice.

[Deleted]

Thanks ilmambo, the book project was put on hold due to the glut of mediocre Banksy books being released. When the time is right, the project will be resurrected.

Viva that is a cracking blog site you have some great stuff on there.

Here's one I found on google somewhere. It was done for this guy Spencer's degree show I think. Assume some Bristol college but cannot remember the tale so could have been in london

[Deleted]

Thanks johnnyh. Er, Pretty sure that piece is not by Banksy.
Spencer Tunick is a famous artist, he takes photos of large groups of people naked.

One of Banksy's very first paintings on canvas. First exhibited in a council flat in Easton, Bristol in 1999.

Do you know if this was a print too? One or two was on Ebay in the mid-00's and if I remember correctly was described as being from the Severnshed exhibition.
Edit: may have been on photo printed canvas.
Edit 2: Sorry, mixing this up with the early similar Flower Thrower/Love is in the air canvas. But the  question remains.

Love this thread. Just wish people would post more images of Banksys early graffiti pieces to quiet down the idiots that shout about him not bring a graffiti artist. Just wished of travel to more shows as a kid and I might've got to meet him.

Here's an early collaborative free hand piece done with Remi Rough:

That's going back a bit. There were photographic prints available of some on Banksy's early street pieces, such as the freehand piece he did for the "Walls on Fire" event and also another freehand street piece of a robotic scorpion.

Freehand collaboration with Astek painted as part of the "Walls on Fire" event Banksy organised with Inkie in Bristol back in 1998:

And the Bugged Out Robot Scorpion freehand piece:

I remember seeing one back in 2000-2005 on ebay. I seem to remember it was on vinyl or something ?? I remember even then thinking is this the bargain of all time of a fake. But it was pre fakes, and hype. Ive allways wondered what I  ( or if I ) missed out on

I know which ones you mean, but those are not what I mean. 

I mean this canvas, but issued as an edition on either paper or printed canvas sold at some early show. It may be wrong, but I think I remember old Ebay sales claiming this.
