Jimmy Cauty • Riot Shield, by gilsteph on Jan 20, 2014 22:06:07 GMT 1, Good luck coach! It took me a while to get one...their shopping cart didn't work with explorer. Try emailing them....you never know.
And some context (from Jimmys partner)
The prodigal daughter has at last returned triumphant from her travels to the south seas to rejoin the Sisters for new adventures in the underground.
While digging through a pile of things discarded before she left we unearthed a police riot shield painted bright sunshine yellow with a smiley face. It was only one of three made by Jimmy not lost in action during the evictions from Occupy at St Paul’s.
During the winter of 2011 she left college and camped out in a tent at St Paul’s for months to protest the injustice of the global economic and political systems. It was cold and hard living there and I was surprised she stuck it out for so many months but she is a girl of strong convictions and quiet determination. As a mother I was afraid for her safety constantly and could only do what mothers do best – make soup and drape her in blankets and hugs.
We talked a lot that winter about protest and particularly about effective ways of making non violent protest. In readiness for the eventual eviction of the St Paul’s protesters Jimmy found three old police riot shields and painted them with bright yellow smiley faces . An inspired and beautiful use of a friendly beloved icon. He even signed them so as to amalgamate art protest and function. In the end all three shields had to be hidden at the camp as the police judged them to be weapons when in the hands of the Occupy protesters and my daughter was threatened with arrest if she was seen holding one in public. How a shield can be judged a weapon is beyond my comprehension. How is it right that during a protest of any kind full grown men in police uniforms are able to use shields but my eighteen year old daughter is not allowed to hold her own bright smiley shield up as a sign of both protest and peace and at the same time protect herself from flying fists and batons and heavy boots.
As an act of deliberate defiance Miss Pokeno has commissioned Jimmy aka the Receptionist to create more of these glorious yellow smiley shields. We have put them in our shop and you can buy them for yourselves to use as you see fit.

Jimmy Cauty • Riot Shield, by Harveyn on Aug 27, 2015 11:56:13 GMT 1, War Boutique - "SMILE"
War Boutique - Original hand sprayed police shield (66cm diameter). Unique 1/1
£795 delivered to the UK (Worldwide at cost). I will consider trades and can add cash.
The original "POLICE" lettering across the middle is just about visible through the yellow spray. In this last image you can just about see the "O" of POLICE. This is being sold below the retail price and its a great opportunity to buy the original 1/1 from this artist.
It glows in the dark!!!!

Cheaper than the edition of 60 by Cauty. Is the one on Ebay seriously at £2150 with bids still to come?

Jimmy Cauty • Riot Shield, by Harveyn on Aug 28, 2015 12:33:47 GMT 1, It certainly is. Is the editioned Cauty version seriously going for £3000+ on ebay?
Buy the original by Kevin Leahy for a bargain.
Thanks for all the pms on my War Boutique 1/1 original but no reductions on this one. Its a firm £795 delivered to the UK and Worldwide at cost. Below retail cost on this one and I really should just throw it up on ebay.
Someone is going to be very happy if they take the plunge.
The War Boutique, lead by Kevin Leahy, started in 2003 in the memorable Area 10 space in Peckham, running workshops with local artists to use some of the ballistic military materials as a symbolic gesture of peace in part as a reaction to the Iraq war.
Through the artistic theory of non-verbal over identification, as a strategy, the War Boutique aims to record the events that all too readily escape the column inches, documenting them as pieces of social commentary, within an historical context.
It has developed further over the years through a series of workshops, exhibitions and fashion shows, in conjunction with local and national organisations such as the Peace Not War Cooperative, Save The Children, The Damilola Taylor Trust, and Southwark Youth & Connexions. Some of these events you can see the images in this exhibition.
The War Boutique, through its organic structure, has enjoyed a myriad of creative collaborations, from the worlds of film, theatre, art and fashion, producing works alongside the likes of John Maybury, Adrian Brody, Gieves & Hawkes, Maharishi, Sarah Lucas, Banksy, and Vivienne Westwood, (Active Resistance to Propaganda).
Its works have hung in The Bristol Museum, The Lighthouse in Glasgow, Tate Britain, Tate Modern and The British Museum, in London. Recently War Boutique has worked with Andipa Gallery and it does private commissions.

It was bought last January and has been pride of place in my house since then but I also want the box set so I can't have everything.
