Banksy Paris Hilton CD

[saffa]

not only do the people selling the cd on ebay have to live with the guilt of ripping real Banksy fans off, but how embarrassing that the people selling the CD actually bought the CD. (I don't believe the 'my sister works at HMV/Virgin and got a copy') Even for £600 I wouldn't admit to buying the Paris Hilton CD!!!

[tn]

woooooooooooooooord!

pure capitalism!

fight it, if you can!

[wamady]

i totally agree with silky, its hardly fair on the people who have followed banksy and helped him get to where he is, spent loadsa money on his art n what duz he do.. gives random people 1 of the ..now... most popular pieces he's made. notice how no1's complained and asked for her ACTUAL cd in its place! they will def make a small fortune on those!. do we know exactly how many there are?

[HowAboutNo]

Quote from Banksy :
[glow=red,2,300]
SL - Is it a compromise having to take into account other opinions when doing commercial work?

Banksy - I’m very good at not taking other peoples feelings into account. It makes commercial work easy. It makes girlfriends kind of hard.
[/glow]

From an ages old interview at www.steal-life.com/features/21banksy.html

Also quoted in the same interview (and relevant to a post I really cannot find..but was a debate about photographing Banksy/other grafitti being lazy and "easy")

[glow=red,2,300]
SL - Your stencils are very photographic; do you take a lot of pictures?

Banksy - The vandalism is only half the job. If you want to succeed at graffiti you need to take good pictures
[/glow]

Interesting....

and he's right. Digi camera's and the internet is what is fuelling the street art / graffiti world.

In fact graffiti done in order to photograph it can be contentious as you could do a great piece, well away from somewhere that is quite public (and less chance of being caught), and then stick them on the internet..... but is thatstreet art?

Wrote this in another thread but...

Anyone else find it just a tad ironic that Banksy put "thou shall not worship false idols" in the booklet, yet people are going nuts over what Banksy did? "Banksy is a GOD!!!"

Also, I really hope Banksy didnt actually buy all 500 of those CD's for altering, thats 5000$ goin' towards Hilton's cause and then another ~3000$ to her for all the people that bought the altered copies...

[HowAboutNo]

Well, its still street art, cos still on the street - but spraying something high up and exposed must be the other half of the experience/buzz.

But for now I'll continue to be contentious...till I find my balls!



And try to be a bit more original next time! Oh, and work on my overspray, make stencil bigger, use more layers and find the perfect spot...or six! ;D

Surely you have seen that 6 odd million people have already posted some form of link to this vid already!

Sorry, just a little bored of links to the same stuff, I know lots of newbies are on here over last few days, but please look out for whats already being spoken about on the site before posting!!

I'll shut up now, just a pet hate, nothing personal TJ.

PLEASE READ THE LAST 100 POSTS FIRST!

I wonder if it's geniune

[gm]

I feel like punking banksy.

Do you think anyone would notice if I subtly changed my flying copper and sneaked it back into TomTom?

[caroline]

hi all, a new member here..... i had a good laugh today when a friend and myself raided hmv and virgin looking for a doctored cd. (was too tired after work earlier in the week) felt a bit like charlie looking for a golden ticket! needless to say i didn't get one. when the security guard and store manager asked us what we were doing and we explained, he reckoned only one had been sold and that there were 6 others which they then sent back to the record company (don't know if i believe it...) they didn't really seem to know who banksy was. don't know what was worse- not finding one or to be seen looking at paris hilton cd's!

[funkrye]

I think alot of people must of went down there local hmv/virgin store just on the off chance that they could of found one.. ;D ;D

[boeing747]
