White mouse is a sign of hope. First of all people thought that Ukrainians a fragile, but now everybody knows they are AGILE.

[vvk]

you mean  like "the great  white hope"    
could it be  time  to consider changing the  whole  idea hat white is  right and  Hopefull and  Pure  and  good   and all that other stuff.


but  I thank you for breaking down the piece,  I now look at it in a different  more  meaningful  view.  its like I have been shown a  white bright  light!

How many people are on the Love Welcomes mailing list, for the opportunity to buy a Banksy? And so now Legacy of War Foundation will also suddenly gain a massive mailing list.
I dunno if that really translates into many more donations?
I would think just the media coverage given by this Banksy release will help them with a huge increase in donations and offers of assistance with their activities in Ukraine.

i can tell you now, it has  already translated to many more  donations.  I would  of  never heard of them if not for the post.  Sad but true

each unique due to the cuts (scratches) makes it super fun and different. 50 is a low # for the demand but someone needs to win. Good luck all.

Interesting to use an albino rat...

I agree at first I thought the choice of a white rat was interesting but then I looked at it a bit more.


To me its more a small feeder mouse. The kind you feed to a snake or something. Its clawing its way back up and not ready to give up. 

I really like this image and the way its displayed. If anyone gets an email for it and does want it--- shoot me a message. 

Nice take. The optimist in me wants to think the mouse is on the other side of the glass cage and sliding down on its way to freedom... but the scratches aren't quite there yet. Hopefully soon.

Can Banksy (legally) contractually oblige purchasers to donate half the profits of any sale within the next five years to the organization as part of the terms and agreement?  That would be an interesting twist.

if  he got the blockchain involved  (via  nft)  then he could oblige purchasers if you will.   Everytime it was resold  he could insure a certain  % was  tacked on or  deducted and  go to  a  place  of his  choosing including his own pockets or  a charity.  for  example  if this raffle was  put on the  blockchain as a  nft which could also serve as the COA,  then  HE could  put  on certin actions that triggered  during at events / times,  if a  buyer sells  in 1  year  then  75%  could  go  to x charity . or  selling in  5 years a  5%  royalty can go  to him.   he could also set it to sign away all royalties to the charity so  the charity gets paid every-time it gets resold.    of course eventually everything can be gamed.  but this would  probably be the  best way to make it a level playing field where  everyone (including the  flippers and charities  and even his decedents win and they could still stay secretive too) He's already come to terms  with playing the role of the coin in robinhood, so im sure  lining his  own pockets is high on his  priority list.

I registered and even if I didn’t plan to put 5k in it I guess I’ll find a way 😅

5k 😆 you could make it 500 and I still couldn't afford it 😂
Good luck to all those who can 🤞🏻

if you win the raffle,  I will lend you the  money.  you will keep the  print and  maybe consider sharing pictures  of  it with us all on the  board.   Deal?

As soon as the rat has clawed away the f and the r, it’s agile.

what is the significance #'s on the side. if it was a used box from some cheap ikea furniture it surely would not have the date of 12/22

Sounds cool, but it isn’t possible. That isn’t how blockchains work afaik.

I wondered if it might be from a box of Aid, maybe food or medication?

maybe not "blockchains" but def  the smart contracts that run on the "blockchains" 

[LJCal]

Surprised it's such a small edition. He could have done 200-300 easy and it will still be oversubscribed 500x over.

[LJCal]

I put the chances per application at about 10-100k to 1. Better than a lottery ticket i guess

I was wondering if the F&R was a reference to F@ck Russia...

From the number of scratches per paw, it has climbed and slid (and clung on) more than once.

[Daniel Silk]

Nearly 900,000 likes on Instagram 😆 for a release of 50 prints! 🤪

[Petrusino]

Has anyone received any confirmation email after signing up for the purchase of the print??

[Fuzzyduck121]

No email

Lovely work

The Fr(agile) is a nice touch

Maybe the mouse is trying to tell us how agile he is by clawing those first two letters off

I like it when a simple piece of imagery works on different levels for different people and this sits really well within that

Also as stated above with only 50 it’s less painful to not get one as the chances are less than remote and not worth even trying to compute

You should look into the Spanish Christmas lottery

El Gordo

100k to 1 odds. Each year, every year!

[Runit]

Well that’s a fail my end. Registered and got the missus to do the same a few minutes later… assuming it’ll fall into the same iP category.. meh.

I agree and the rat is now losing its grip. I see it as the rat represents the Russian invasions of Ukraine.

Presumably the same post code as well?

good luck to all that have entered

[Fuzzyduck121]

It’s one application per household

I would assume repeat postcodes will be pulled

Based on the amount of entries and the availability your chances are reduced from very very close to zero down to actual zero so I wouldn’t worry about it

If you love the work and hold other works there will always be chances to trade up or down

Suspect based on a hand finished edition of 50 featuring a rodent it will be pegged in value to a radar rat so use that as a guide for future costs (not an exact science but a good guide in my view )

[telecine]

Not a rats chance in hell of winning. Never the less, hat in the ring!
I would prefer an F5 bunfight of old.. Actually no I wouldn't.

[Acme Thunderer]

I would be very surprised if they removed applications based on duplicate postcodes as these are not unique unlike IP addresses.

Yea, what would that mean? That from every city where there are more than 2 applicants, everybody will be banned from the lottery?
