Good points.
Every single piece posted came from a reputable close source to the production team including the snowman.
The tshirts, ( woh, dismaland and Bristol are 💯 legit) the woh had 3 different runs of tshirts ( you can research this and or ask if you know the right people)
The reaper I didn't mentioned it in the listing because is a brandalized T-shirt ( cool but has zero value ) and the second Bristol t-shirt (left) was a small run made by priestown and produced within the inner circle for a specific project; I'm not selling
it because it was a gift.
The sculpture also came from a reputable inner circle source but I did not purchase it myself. Didn't came from Etsy or eBay, was sent directly from the UK. I seen a few of this exact designs in person and online and it seems legit, I decided to contact Bisher not because of the finish but because the number code.
At this point. I'm going to take this down and simply repost better quality pictures and full descriptions.

If the sculpture is from a reputable inner circle source, whatever that is, maybe you should or the person who bought it maybe just ask for the money back that was paid for it. It’s definitely pony and if you’ve compared it to others that are the same design I would say that they are all copies as well.

You are saying all of the same design ( tower) seem fake to you?

No not at all. I’m saying that if you’ve compared yours to others and you think that it is legit then you must be comparing it to fakes. In other words yours is a blatant copy. Apart from highlighting it to stop someone buying a fake I’m actually trying to help you out to get your money back from the original seller. If they are a trusted seller and meant to know a bit about this stuff then I suggest that they don’t actually know their arse from their elbow.

Thank you for the helpful follow‑up.



For clarity regarding the t‑shirts, apart from the two you mentioned (reaper image, and pastiche of Very Little Helps), the third knockoff features the Cut & Run rat with box cutter.

A fourth t‑shirt, which I was only hesitant about (because it doesn't appear to have a prominent, inside neck label like I've seen on official grey‑coloured ones), is the Dismaland collapsed smiley face by James Joyce.

I saw this post appear and, despite not being an owner of a wall piece, I immediately thought it looked off compared to those I've seen advertised on this forum and elsewhere. Definitely be interested in seeing more proof on that as been looking at these myself recently.

Masong got it. Thank you.
met... The cut and run tshirts came from directly GOMA lol so be literally impossible to be fake.

The first 2 runs of woh didn't have an inner label. The third one does. I have 1 of each run.
Jaymes Joyce is a kids tshirts ( tiny, same with minie)

The white Cut & Run t-shirt was never sold at GoMA. This is not an authorised item from the exhibition.

'I got it from a reputable source' is not provenance

[cpclaux]

Just to be transparent. You guys were right. The WOH sculpture is fake ...here is the feedback.
The 2 inconsistencies are : the antena should be off-center leaning left and the thickness of the base.

[cpclaux]

@davidhockney it depends in the source.
Like Nick , Lee, Howie, AL , Vince, Brooke and so on
But hey you guys are apparently the experts lol

My guess is that u%hdjfka c was just referring to the meaning of the term "provenance" — which is an item's specific ownership history.

And so, when asked for confirmation about the provenance of the wall sculpture, for example, a reply that it "came from a reputable close source to the production team" might well be accurate. But it would also be a non‑specific (and arguably evasive) response on the item's provenance.



I'm afraid I don't know the people you mentioned. Apart from "Lee", if you're talking about lee3 on this message board.

Are each of these the ones you describe as being "a reputable close source to the production team"?

If somebody within that group did indeed sell you:

(a)  the wall sculpture; or

(b)  the Cut & Run t‑shirt with the rat and box cutter,

it may be time to reassess the faith and level of trust you have placed in them.
