Whats a "Skinny"? (i feel old). Also the chap doesnt seem to me to be the type that would be able to keep quiet about anything let alone Banksys contacts. "Substabtial"?. However... at the least he has posted an image of said piece of card which is more than the other seller of the "Canvis with Bloon" managed.

[trevordc]

it must have been a long walk back from Tesco Notting Hill at 8am to WINDSOR where the item is located !

LOL, I was thinking the same thing. Rhyming slang maybe?

Skinny - means lowdown.

The history (apparently):

During world war two until the late 1960's, military orders in the
Marine Corps were copied on paper that resembled the skin of an
onion. It was extremly thin and fragile, and translucent in
appearance.

Honestly, unless I've missed something, I don't see why s-editions get barracked publicly so much.

If they shouldn't be posting re releases etc on the chat board , then really Silky needs to redirect them to the correct sections.

If it's the nature of the way they sell and promote that winds you up then you can either choose to see beyond that and enjoy the product or opt out.. It's their chosen method of marketing.


That said, given that the chat section gets the most traffic, it's no surprise that A LOT of people 'promote/solicit' work on the 'wrong' section.

There are numerous people/artists/galleries who over-sell or flood threads with their latest ventures and pieces, there's personally a couple that have done it so much I avoid their work and any thread they start. But that's all it takes really rather than publicly slate people/artists/galleries re-direct your concerns/advice to them directly or to Silky so he can better advise or opt out.

Not singling you out alsababar just a culmination of quite a few threads I've read and caught up with today.

Peace.
