[Michael Jacob]

I saw that too. Looks like it was a pain in the ass job! Seems pretty credible, but thats just a guess....

[grantb]

[curiousgeorge]

[neale]

Why not tongue the pudding for a slice of pie young mammals

[G-Man]

Someone buy one and share it with the rest of us eh?

[redfred]

I can remember the original being on the bay but I don't think he had any takers, there was a long winded explanation how he had written the diary during the exhibition.

[discoduster]

I bought the "original" as there was talk of the museum show becoming a book and thought it might be a nice little momento if the story of the book disappearing and reappearing with pages missing is true and show up in the book.

Probably wont but you never know

[telecine]

well i have thrown 99p in the pot but nothing back yet ....

has anyone else bought a copy yet? Gallery 5 would like to know what you think. Also of any other unusual significant Banksy items you may have discovered.

are u selling them ?

[G-Man]

Hmmm?

Has anyone got a copy they would share?

[gallery5]

No not selling. But I am keen to find out about the wider implications of unofficial Banksy products that appear on the market that cause a significant stir. If anyone has bought one and has comments please contribute them to this board. I think it is important to find out how important/unimportant they are. I am sure we are all aware that there is a wider discussion here.

[walshy]

I cant see how this has any significance. Its not like you would need it as prov for future sales of work in that show.

[rowan]

I wouldn't be surprised if a hald dozen people start selling this pdf (if its legit)...

Anyone got a copy yet?

Lets forget about the money for a moment. I think that It's interesting because banksy is leaving behind an ever expanding legacy. with his art and his attitude. People call it hype and maybe it is? but whatever you want to call it people who take part in using his cultural presents in their own intuitive way are in some way a product of his creation and aid in the founding of his legacy. Banksys bad boy attitude has obviously made him the success he is today. The Fishfinger Diary and the other available backstreet banksy products are direct bi-product of his methodology. I find it satisfying to see people directly involving themselves in this movement rather than looking at a bit of random graf and asking themselves "is that a banksy"? they have created a second layer of Banksy and made their own interpretations.

Anyway Gallery 5 has now bought a 'fishfinger diary' and can say with no hesitation that the creator of this has by all means created a very clear unintentional statement on Street Art of today. It is crudely made but an interesting read (we have been passing it around the office and having a good discussion as you can probably guess). I'm not saying it will go down in history as a definitive record. But it just might be recognized in time for its unique qualities like we have not seen before in the age of Banksy and his fellow street artists. You don't look at it and go "Oh my god what a statement", like the 'Kissing Coppers' will make you do. But i believe this is a second layer to the banksy phenomenon. Above the poster rip offs and cheaply made t-shirts. At least this one has given us some variation and is an original angle. I hope more oddities like this will grace us in the future, and I would encourage others to go out and do the same.

Well I don't mind sharing if anyone is interested in taking a look at it...

Are you confusing 'method' with 'methodology' here? If not, I can't help but wonder what you think his methodology is?

cheers weeble

[stopki]

CHEERS WEEBLE!

[chrisps303]

Thanks weeble, will have a read when i get home from work.

[Deleted]

Rapidshare sucks where I am (IP assignation problem with my ISP). Would it be possible to have them on Google Doc ?

[ricobenfico]

Great Weebs. Cheers.

[fastone]

Cheers Weeble

I passed on the original (well done disco) as the signature part of the story was over-hyped and didn't/doesn't look right....

[jakek]

Thanks Weeble - had a read, was interesting but i would imagine it has more sentimental value fo the guys working on the exhibition than any true value. A nice memento of the show thought for disco.

I agree, must have been a great experience for the staff there. Not a lot of actual Banksy content on this diary thing though.

[G-Man]

Thanks Weeble you are a gent
