โAlways remain sceptical. There were no Dismaland Certificates of Authentication or โfree artโ, and Banksy has no license agreementsโ

That's the amount of times it says "after" behind Banksy on that site. Which means it can be from anyone on the planet...except Banksy.

It is legit
It not by Banksy though
If I may suggest before spending money You have a good read up of the forum, the search function helps, and do ask questions as You are
I just typed in google. Banksy (after) and came up with this
urbanartassociation.com/thread/170487/after-banksy

BANKSY "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by startimeash on Jan 19, 2022 13:39:19 GMT 1, Iโve contacted a bunch of auctioneers about these, and they ummm and aaahhh about them, and even when I point them to the Pest Control web page, they still refuse to take them down. There seems to be one particular seller who is making a LOT of money from these, as at least three auctioneers have said theyโve received them from โa collector from Belgiumโ. Scumbags.

BANKSY "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by Lroy on Jan 19, 2022 14:17:00 GMT 1, Girl with balloon ap, different colour balloons , were released to vip at dismaland , ยฃ40k each and a rat print ap was sold and given to music performers at the show, the riot van small print was given to staff working, as far as Iโm aware they are the only 3 official Banksy items released at dismaland I thougth there was a Dumbo too ?
But you are right.
from memory :
Anyway some official stuff from friends of Banksy were sold at Dismaland behind the bar, as the Teddy Bears by Bast (?) Pins, tees and posters ( the *official one as read here is maybe " a Bansky " poster, but Jeffrey Gillette realised it ) of course...
The " I am an imbecile balloon " by Shrigley, programmes ( Joyce cover ) and maps, Gold fish ( the only real Bansky if my memory is good ), bling bling ( Bast and Insect ) , rubber wrist by Shrigley, ping pong ball, ( all tats to win at the attractions stands ) , all the stuff coming from David Cullen ( Pocket money loans ) caravan etc...
Some Cauty riot shields have been sold there... and some posters of Wasted Rita have been sold too I think.. But under the name of WR. and Fucking the fucking fuckers poster ( on pow also )
Anyway all the stuff with tampoons or signatures of Dismaland are fakes, all banknotes, etc etc.. Some local artists put their real stuff aside ( a John d'Oh - see up ) are one sale.. But all the rest is crap... The worst are these Tee Flag Uk towels ( made by Paul W. ) I think and sold on ebay etc as real official stuff, that's not !
Gillette posters :

Cauty
Kind of fakes found and sold on Artsy - sic ) ...

The James Joyce prints were a signed edition of 150 @ ยฃ150 each and only available on the day before it officially opened to the public (which I managed to get into and buy a print - hence my avatar ๐) and think any left were then sold out on the first day.

That's a result.
I tried to get one on second visit and the very helpful lady behind the counter thought they had a few left so she vanished for around 5 minutes through the opposite door. It may have been under the VIP room, anyway she came back empty handed.
To this day I'm never sure whether she genuinely thought there were some left or whether it was a part of the Dismal experience to build my hopes, knowing full well they were all long gone.
I keep meaning to ask, your username, anything to do with Burlingtons finest?

BANKSY "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare, by graceof on Apr 21, 2022 14:24:49 GMT 1,
I've been looking into where these cardboard "Banksy free art" might have come from and spotted some in a photo of Mason Storm's studio. If you look at the rest of his (publicly viewable) photos, he's a dab hand at reproducing Banksy stencils, so I'd not be surprised if he's made a load of these. Nice little earner!! There's some speculation about links between Mason Storm and Banksy. Banksy is known to work as a team of artists to execute his work. The whole concept of is it a real Banksy or not is one that was created by Banksy himself. Call it concept art or whatever, but these cardboard "free art" are part of that concept, therefore whether painted by his hand or not, they are in a way of his making. He created the environment for these to exist. Is this getting too art existential for you yet? Banksy the concept artist.... Also worth noting, Banksy may have made or commissioned other artists (more likely) to make some these and refuses to authenticate them because of the purpose behind the free art movement is for people to enjoy the art, not just that it as a material object with a value attached. Perhaps its a way of getting people to stop and see the art instead of just the money. Or maybe he's just taking the piss out of the whole art scene and idea of value, he has done that. The whole point remains that it is a mystery, but the fact that Mason Storm has these displayed in his studio adds another layer of mystery. Art is only valued at what someone is prepared to pay for it.

Art is only valued at what someone is prepared to pay for it.
It's quite simple.
Mason Storm has nothing to do with Banksy.
Banksy's stencil art is made by Banksy.
No "Free Art" was given out or found at Dismaland.
I've been looking into where these cardboard "Banksy free art" might have come from and spotted some in a photo of Mason Storm's studio. If you look at the rest of his (publicly viewable) photos, he's a dab hand at reproducing Banksy stencils, so I'd not be surprised if he's made a load of these. Nice little earner!! There's some speculation about links between Mason Storm and Banksy. Banksy is known to work as a team of artists to execute his work. The whole concept of is it a real Banksy or not is one that was created by Banksy himself. Call it concept art or whatever, but these cardboard "free art" are part of that concept, therefore whether painted by his hand or not, they are in a way of his making. He created the environment for these to exist. Is this getting too art existential for you yet? Banksy the concept artist.... Also worth noting, Banksy may have made or commissioned other artists (more likely) to make some these and refuses to authenticate them because of the purpose behind the free art movement is for people to enjoy the art, not just that it as a material object with a value attached. Perhaps its a way of getting people to stop and see the art instead of just the money. Or maybe he's just taking the piss out of the whole art scene and idea of value, he has done that. The whole point remains that it is a mystery, but the fact that Mason Storm has these displayed in his studio adds another layer of mystery. Art is only valued at what someone is prepared to pay for it. It's quite simple. Mason Storm has nothing to do with Banksy. Banksy's stencil art is made by Banksy. No "Free Art" was given out or found at Dismaland. |

Do you have a way to go back in time? If I could I would also go to Dismaland and then also a walk to the river! But how do I get to Great Britain without a passport?
Only time will tell if I'm crazy or if I really see ghosts! ๐
