I wonder what happened to that lovely crude oil

Funny you ask... I saw it at a primary school charity raffle just before lockdown

OP was advised ealier in the thread not to show too many pictures, Lroy.

I don't think OP is trying to pull a fast one here or has made it themselves.

Just reading some comments, profile 0, and boom...

That's all, trying to understand ( par exemple why he did not give a shout today, nor a like - anyway maybe he is working) ..

Anyway, its 'not mine so... Just following the  Derrick 's  investigations..

Not the same. The OP is missing the white at the lower left hand.

You just have to look at the op’s photo to see the white by the left hand.. not sure why you would post otherwise?

This one looks like the one second from right in the Dragon Bar line-up pic. The 2 white bits on the right hand, and speck of white on the left hand (as you look at them).

Because he has nothing to add? He said he would follow up with reply from PCO. I thought he seemed genuine and transparent

The real one has a band of red running up between the arm and the body though, on the left hand side as you look.

All the others lack the white backing on the left ear

Of course there could be other versions than the four in the Dragon Bar line up

What would they have to gain by lying? The question was about approaching PC, not looking to sell. If he was looking to sell, anybody would ask if it had PC authenticity.

I've been on here for ages and I don't know how Pest Control works. I've had Banksy prints but never had to apply for authentication.

There is literally nothing for anyone to lose in following this story. Just see what happens.

Maybe OP had a keen interest in Banksy 6 years ago, signed up to the forum, became quickly disillusioned with all the petty bickering that almost every thread turns into, and fucked off again until yesterday.

Unlikely. We’ve made it through over 10 years of the same old same old so it’s definitely survivable. You even learn something new every now and again.

[pfffffffffft]

Hi friends, I popped in to say hello and see what everyone thought of the new Kaws portfolio and saw this thread! IMHO this looks very very good to me with one detail that may be off. 

It looks like it's from the same stencil from the Rise gallery which looks like it's closest match is 4th over from the left on the Dragon Bar line up.

If you look at the Dragon Bar line up each of them is slightly off from the other, probably from shifting the stencils.

I have never seen the back of one to say for sure but I think it looks very good tbh. Eh, I'm torn again...there should be more overspray here, I think.

Hopefully the OP returns, PC are very quick to deem something a fake.

[Smokeidaeye]

I'm just imagining the reaction of the woman who sold it when she picks up the local newspaper to see "Local Man Strikes It Rich With Car Boot Sale Blunder"...

[mrdeano]

what would this be worth if it is a real one?

About the same as the entire car boot took in that fateful day, combined

[Nick]

Is the red on the originals sprayed?
You can clearly see from the pic of the back of the car boot canvas that its painted.

Yeps maybe ... maybe as these ..xxx .. so serious ! Pfff .. are you Wroe ? Easy man .. keep coool ! You are so serious ! Banksy s drama !

We should know now... As @lroy said, PCO is fairly quick when it comes to complete fakes.
I guess we would all love a find like this one if it comes out legit. Although it unfortunately becomes a dream by the minute without news from OK
Good luck mate, we are all rooting for you! Frame looks legit but could be an old fake

[Skizz 82]

let us know how it goes with PC, if it's legitimate ....this is the coolest thread I've read

Thank you Vincent.
It was not to make a mess that I was asking, it’s just that it isn’t really fair : most of the forum helped, answered or was mobilized for the OP - that knew in fact all the procedure ( 100 £ to authenticate etc etc - , and then nothing.
Why just to don’t tell the forum : “ I’m awaiting answered, or I’m busy at the mo, I can’t join us, etc etc .” ..
Maybe PC told the OP to don’t say anything cause it’s a real one ...
But you know we have seen some weird * things on here ahaha !
Anyway I don’t care a bit if real or fake, it’s not mine. And if I am answering it’s just because I am only reading ( and answering ) to last threads...


Permit me this remark :
*I received a dm to buy Stik 3 newspapers 100 quids each from a “ member “ profile 0. Hard to trust.
Anyway I’ve never understood how, on this forum, we can have multiple accounts, even members blocked and fired, etc etc .. nobody checking IP ?

[Matt 2 ttaM]

To be fair PC will probably respond by next week, they are quick but they arent lightning.

C. Because the back of the frame was hung against a damp wall but the back of the canvas wasn’t in contact with it? You can see mould on the canvas where it’s wrapped around the frame (so would be against a wall).

A, B, C are all explainable

D is a little odd. If asking for help, surely the tag is the one thing that you'd definitely show (given the tone of the original post). In fact, every side of the thing is shown except for the critical side.

If it was me, I'd also be checking this thread every five minutes... OP hasn't logged on since.

BUT neither of these things really proves anything. It just means that the thread has a whiff of suspicion as well as a whiff of hope.

[tonys]

Not sure how PC can verify this even if it was real. Obviously there a number of knock off canvases out there, but unless the owner can provide some provenance i.e. car boot sale probably not the best, then PC can't surely authenticate

[totalnirvana]

Imagine if a piece that has 'keep it real' on it turns out to be fake 😮

[Asteroid]

I have in the back of my mind that these were available to buy on the Portobello Road back in the late 2000s - or maybe I just dreamed it?

It likely gets authenticated by the original artist in such circumstances, he’ll know the intricacies enough to know it’s his work or not.
