Great thread - and blog Viva.

I've often wondered about this stencil, hidden in the stairwell on the back of a partition at the Marks and Stencils show. It was only a few cm high and I struggled to get a shot off in the near dark. It's possibly a bit 'clean' for Banksy but it does remind me of some of his other smaller stencils. It says alongside 'This is part of the show... (What do you fink?)'

Anyone remember it/know who did it?

Really early Banksy stencil, from around 1996:

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.

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

Just saw your post. I believe we're talking about the same thing!?

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.

I've never seen or heard of anything like that, you could try asking Pest Control.

Thanks! No idea if that piece is by Banksy, nice find thought.

Before the Marks and Stencils show opened, Banksy installed a temporary animatronic sculpture in the vacant space, here's my video of it:

Another piece in London, created at the Board X: Urban Games in 2000:

Hi CG. Do You mean the photo with the solider?

Or are you thinking of something else? If it's the solider, yes I have it and can dig it out for you.

Another great freehand piece in Bristol circa 1999:

Do you mean this? What's the story about it? I might have a slightly better if you need it.

It's Tyler Ziegel and Renee Kline's marriage, background to the story here:

Sadly, Tyler died last year.

Thanks Viva. Any idea why Banksy included it in his Bristol exhibition?

[Deleted]

As an example of reference material, perhaps?

... there is also the truck he did, freehand graff all over the sides, back in the day. I am sure you archivists will have a photo or two of it. If not I could go searching ...

That's the one mr lboy ... 1999 ... the figures on the truck are very reminiscent of the figures and style of the canvas piece above from 1999

Graffiti-Art Exhibition at Bavaria St. Pauli Brauerei, Hamburg / Germany

In 2002, the Urban Discipline took place for the last time so far. On ca. 1500 m² exhibition ground in the old Astra brewery in Hamburg, more than 30 artists from all over the world met to give evidence that some Graffiti is different to other Graffiti. The location was just perfect for the exhibition: almost unlimited exhibition grounds, a courtyard allowing to create a giant mural.

The exhibition went beyond the scope of many things: an enormous variety of styles was being showed, mentalities from all over the world met and many projects were realized.
Artists like Zedz from Amsterdam, Banksy from the UK, Stak from France, Nami/La Mano from Spain, Nina, Herbert, Vitche, the Os Gemeos from Brazil and many other from all over the world showed an impressive variety of how Graffiti can be interpreted.

Is this not by Tes, who was also in DryBreadz? I think 'Bankz', 'Kato' and 'Pert' (now Lokey) are just shout outs.
