New Banksy in Nottingham , by GMA on Oct 15, 2020 3:26:37 GMT 1, I say no, it seems too sloppy with no definition in the face. And why is the tire smudged out on the left? I also say the bike was placed. Whoever the artist, sees a bike there in that condition and then decided to go home and stencil an idea hoping the bike would still be there when they were finished? Doesn't make much sense. Waste of time if the bike was gone...
I know during lockdown bikes were hard to get hold of, but I really don't think that bike was going anywhere for a long long time.

New Banksy in Nottingham , by artngigs on Oct 15, 2020 6:39:36 GMT 1, I went down last night and spoke to local who reckoned the bike had been there a while but didnโt seem fussed. Loads of students just walked by without looking so not creating a buzz yet.

In reality, people donโt really care.

See how long it takes to get vandalised?

I don't reckon he will confirm at the moment because of that.

I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to most, B confirming it's one of his, or the prospect of you having to eat your pants.
There were some good suggestions a few days back when someome said they'd eat their hat. How will you be having yours sir, should you be wrong? Roasted? Fried? Boiled could be a good choice and then crisped up in a frying pan with some soy sauce and tenderstem brocolli ๐คฃ

New Banksy in Nottingham , by saint on Oct 15, 2020 9:20:22 GMT 1, I'm conflicted, I thought about this over night.
The wheels have come off is a fairly good way to describe the mess we're in, so I'm thinking the message could be right.
Location: is it near where the old Raleigh bike factory was? If so, then location choice is spot on....

Have you filled in the online form? I got Fitness instructor, Bingo Caller and Actuary amongst other great suggestions..
Bingo Caller was the only one that appealed, the only exercise routine I could teach is weight lifting food into your mouth with a big fork.

I almost hope it's not a Banksy piece so there may be a chance of a print in my price range from a undiscovered artist,..Great image and placement.

I'm going to say yes its a Banksy I'm thinking great use of the broken bike, the pink shutter looks good, the idea of linking Raleigh & location. I read it as in 'If life gives you lemons make lemonade' ...also going out on a limb here but there is a Grace Jones exhibition on in Nottingham featuring many artists Banksy has a connection to and it just so happens Grace Jones is one of the worlds finest hula hoopers.

white van with blacked out window fits the MO. That piece looks like it could get done in 15 minutes. maybe they did the piece and kept the car parked while they went to the museum?

You could be totally right with the Grace Jones connection, never even thought of that.

I think the message is that the wheels have come off? Nottingham has been particularly hard hit with Covid and Covid Restrictions. Raleigh bikes were the big employer there for years .. but thatโs a stretch

"The quality of the drawing in the hands and the feet isn't as accomplished as I've seen in other works," he said.
