Banksy • No Ball Games GREY

[monkeyart]

Is it only me that thinks this is a really bad choice of image release? Ok, my observation is based on Mr B's last release the Donut thingmy! yep everyone likes donuts and americans are thick, Ok, is Banksy trying to be clever or a slap stick comic off an artist?, How do you go from portraying Queen Vic as believing lesbionism couldn't exist through QV or the tiananmen square through "Golf sale"?etc etc, if it happens to be the clever reasons, then please let me know as I'm lost!! I'm scratching my head here...what the hell is going on?

[otomi]

i'd say 500 green 250 grey

[howlinjack]

[Martin DK]

We all know there will be 10 of each color ;D

kids innit, they're getting fat aren't they cos they ain't out playing ball but playing on their ps wii's and x box 3s.

Deffo a lottery somehow.

POW said on the donuts release that those who entered and were unlucky would automatically get put forward for the next release. Think this would be the fairest way anyway. Don't think you'll be able to enter the lottery this time round if you didn't sign up for the donuts or if you won a donut. Guess if you can't enter the lottery, you'll have to join the bunfight.

All speculation of course, and no chance either way anyway
Having scored 1 out of 7 Banksys (colour trolleys)

wave, 1 out of 7 is a significantly better return than I've had. Closest I got was a grannies in my trolley (mixing my meta-banksies) but my card bounced

[amsterdam9697]

If it is a lottery, I hope that those of us that signed up for Donuts can re-confirm our original entry... See, I'm still not sure if I sent in the correct email address with the Donut lottery and haven't gotten any updates from POW when I've inquired... I know, dumb question to ask POW, but I just want to make sure they've got the correct email if I get lucky!

[Ruggs]

I've had eight attempts and eight failures. Shite!

[redfred]

This seems totally out of step with POW previous releases in as much this time its a Saturday which means that the majority will be able to enter a BUNFIGHT, bring it on !

[RYCA]

i like the idea of releasing the same image in a green and grey colourway.

Why is it called a BUNFIGHT?

Sounds like fun, are buns involved? I leave the UK 2 days before (get back in 5 days, but we all know that is too late) so I cannot partake in this BUNFIGHTing activity you speak of.

Me loves it!

Living in S.America, where connections are slower and pages take longer to load from UK sites, I'm pretty damned pleased about the lottery system!

Are you thinking of the Hoxton Hotel, on Great Eastern St (which turns into Commercial St. about 2 blocks down)? If so, I would highly recommend it. I was there just last week and was very happy, nice beds, great lobby bar, and close to POW

[G-Man]

Surely its my turn to win one in a lottery, I havent bagged a Banksy from source since S&S

I like the green and the grey, I wonder what people would think if the green online was a huge edition of a few thousand, with the grey being a really small edition of just 40-50?

It would give more people a chance to bag one???

I remeber that cold wait for the open day last year lol i was about 6th in the queue the guys at POW came out and gave us free t-shirts for being so mad!!

Not sure whether I will do the same this year may well pop down on Friday to see if i can get some more details

Bugger; I'm arriving into Christchurch next Saturday so was looking forward to trying my luck over a glass of wine and a few films (rather than the usual - at work, keep your head down and hope no-one notices you've done nothing all day!!).
