Banksy • Bizarre Magazine + Banksy Rat Stencil

[sanchorockin78]

Hey all,
Can anyone give me more info on a Bansky stencil of the Sonic Rat that was given away with a magazine that ran an article on him a few years ago?. The stencil is slightly smaller than A4 with the banksy logo in the top right and instructions on the best way of making using stencils!!...i have had the stencil kicking around for some time and found it in the middle of my old Futura book but i can't find the original Magazine..Any ideas on the name of the magazine??.

Cheers!

it came free with bizzare magazine

[sanchorockin78]

Thanks dude!, any idea when that came out!?..i am digging up all my old Banksy prints and bits now ...and taking a LOT more care of them!.

[CR]

not sure but know that it was in the first half of 2002

[sanchorockin78]

Much appreciated!..

The Bizarre stencil was of a rat with a shovel and with cigarette in mouth, not Radar Rat. Is this some other stencil you are talking about or is it the one with a shovel?

Hey Hank Pank,
This is the Radar Rat stencil, definitely, as mentioned it has the banksy logo top right and the same instructions on making and spraying stencils that's on the banksy site. Still think it's Bizarre Magazine??..i am gonna have a hunt through all my graf mags to see if it's in there!.
Thanks

[stickitup]

possibly two differing stencils were made, I have a vague recollection of it, my one was not the radar one though

[jakek]

There was also a cut out stencil in the centre section of Creative Review magazine around the same time i think.

That one was of a rat with a drill though.

[stylus]

I picked one up on eBay a couple of months ago for 3 or 4 quid. They do pop up from time to time. Definitely worth having...

urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?board=banksybook&action=display&thread=45956

I just read there were different versions of it

I already got that one

But I would be happy to get the other ones

And if there s any bizarre readers in there I m trying to get rid of all the issues I got for free..
Got a huge pile in a box from circa 2000 to 2005


Cheers
Chyren


Why does this site don't accept photo bucket uploads anymore??

[Deleted]

I've got one... need to check which stencil it is though.

I'm sure it's a rat, just can't remember which one...?

Also have two fold out posters from Japanese nightclub LOOP who banks designed for,

have you deleted the images?
just need these brackets [ i m g ]link[/ i m g] with no spaces

[cosmic]

i have this mag it has the rat inside

[Deleted]

Mine is the rat and shovel too.... are we really sure that there's a different cut out stencil for this mag...?

Creative review had a stencil, but the only other one I know of was from a Tokyo nightclub called 'Loop', who were allowed to use a Taping Rat/Sonic rat in 2001 with directions of how to cut the image into a stencil to spray on the street.

I have two from the series, thin paper though, and I doubt it'd make a very effective stencil though.... I'd left mine in the attic for a few years before thinking they might be worth pulling out! Rare as hens teeth these.

Here's a photo from the Nightclub interior...

[chyren]

Me want

[craigf]

I think there is only one version, but happy to be proven wrong... Chyren, do you have that version, I might have a spare if not

[chyren]

Thanks Craig
But yeah I already got the shovel rat
As I previously mentioned I ve been reading bizarre since 2000..

It's just than reading this thread I maybe have assumed there were more
urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?board=banksybook&action=display&thread=45956

That s why I m asking you fine people if you can enlighten me..

[Deleted]

I have 4, never opened issues.  All stencils are haven't been ripped out.  Looking to trade for other works by Banksy, Blek La Rat, or Invader.  I also have a signed Roy Lichenstein piece I post earlier.  Maybe we can make some kind of deal??

[londonboy]

Trade for what Banksy,Blek pieces,?
Just curious

And I got that mag already..
I was a bizarre reader since 99/00
