Banksy Welcome Mat, by Brittany's Urban on Oct 2, 2020 8:00:26 GMT 1, Just got mine back from framer. The exterior frame is black (might look blue on the picture but it is black)! I have been thinking a lot about what I was willing to do... I am pretty happy with the result, I guess some people will disagree
I did not got for glass on top since the mat is a bit "dirty" and I was afraid to have dust and elements inside and on the glass...

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Lord Lucas Roham on Oct 2, 2020 8:57:02 GMT 1, Going to sell mine. On reflection I won't be putting a doormat on my wall. Just odd. It's not really art is it. Will be contacting the major global auction houses immediately.

I actually really like this. The few comments as to why people haven’t gone for glass are making me rethink that now. A couple extra hundred pounds for glass only to have the irritation of dust and other debris gather at the bottom of the frame seems silly. Has anyone whose had theirs framed/framed under glass for a while noticed this? It would be incredibly helpful to know.

For those wondering, yes, I was of course taking the piss. Got some mighty fine low-ball offers. I purchased 1, for myself. Shame what this place has turned into.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by therivler1 on Oct 2, 2020 14:18:40 GMT 1, nice job. In terms of arrangement, I might move it higher. The eye is naturally drawn to words, and looking down as the first thing you see can be a bit off. Maybe swap the mayday flag if there's enough room.

Thanks for your comment and advice! I initially tried to place it where stands the Yellow Mandala, but the fixation is too high and it was strange (holes already made in pretty solid concrete 😅) and my first choice was to hang it in my entrance and not on my wall of frames... Not enough place to change with the Flag from Shep.
As of today, it will remain on its location but I might make it move to the entrance if I change my mind! Appreciate the input anyway!

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Lunch Special on Oct 2, 2020 21:57:01 GMT 1, @ $673 to own a certified Banksy product whether it goes up in value or not, it’s the value in knowing you purchase something that was made to benefit a people throughout some of today’s harshest and worst conditions shaving to leave everything behind and not even have a door to lay the mat in front of to welcome someone because you were forced to abandon your home. But tbh You been on this forum since 2014 a good amount time to have been able see past monetary investments and see the moral investments being made. Okay Karen, stand down 🙄
Calling someone karen is racist and we do not tolerate racism or derogatory slander towards its members.
You’ve been warned.

Not for sale 😉😁 Mine is between 500-550 😉 Maybe it was made along with the first batch but they only sold 500 first time round Have one from the 1st batch, number below 100, label sewn on
Have one from the 2nd batch, number below 500, label hanging
Interesting to note the overall quality largely improved between the 2, so the second one looks much better, but I like that the first was from the original GDP shenanigans

Banksy Welcome Mat, by danislinus on Oct 3, 2020 22:25:00 GMT 1, Finally got mine back from the framer and I like it. I’ve seen others similar to this one on here and went with pretty straightforward as it’s already got a lot going on. no need to “add to it.”
I wish I had seen that sleek black frame with charcoal matte. That’s the best IMO yet.
I do get what others are saying about it being a difficult piece to frame up but I like displaying it as it’s a conversation piece.
Anyway... one more example for the thread.

did they restart numbering on the second batch w/ the hanging tags?

You could always get your matte changed - depends your level of OCD 🙃

Similar to the way tags are put on garments in the store. They are attached around the black life jacket straps. Fully reversible by just clipping the loops.
