Yes, we all know The Thinker, but why a monkey. Is the process of thought being mocked, the human condition via referencing both mortality and philosophy...or is it just meant to be a cute image?

Its not a monkey.

a bit misleading your ad on ebay jboy

you state the following "A RARE ARTIST PROOF OF THE SOLD OUT EDITION OF PLAYGIRL BY JBOY"

But you have 2 still for sale via your website

Also you mentioned before you dont have an ebay account or dont sell via ebay - well this kind of makes you look foolish

cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIGNED-JBOY-PLAYGIRL-PRINT-ARTIST-PROOF-BANKSY-/280554929192?pt=UK_art_prints_GL

I thought he didn't have an ebay account?

timing was all out.

the ebay one will be back i reckon, the other one is getting close on bids to what he was asking for in a buy it now - and you cant change the buy it now once someone has offered.

EDIT: i was bidding on that one on ebay but theres some shady stuff going on, the user with 0 feedback who was outbidding has now retracted. Im not having anything to do with that. Im out.

Only recently activated it again, check the last feedback dates.

so Freerange/Jboy/Honeypud has been bidding on his own stuff then?

[bullet]

Errrrr. No. Where did that statement come from.

And its honeypod not honeypud.

[nacional]

I knew you would say something like that...I asked you for no evasions and get...an evasion...don't be so sensitive and paranoid...I am not trying to pick holes in your or the print...just want to know what you, the artist, wants it to say...not too much to ask is it...so...what does it mean Jboy???

you should know Honeypod you wrote it

[bullet]

Are you doing crystal meth or something?

Of course i wrote it. I will tell you now, if i was bidding on my own stuff i would be making it go for more than what its at right now.

I dunno where silky finds these people, honestly. ;D

The print is about questioning evolution - theres really only one outcome but even the chimp is thinking twice - internal struggles

Its a slight dig and religion - but only a fraction.

good luck in the competition.

[nacional]

Many thanks for the slight insight on your print. However, it is not for me and I have not entered the competition. But all the best in your low level artistic endeavours....

[nacional]

What the hell are you on about?? Get a grip...

[bullet]

forum members need to stop taking this high and mighty stance.

if you want to spoil it for the 117 people that are in the draw for this print - then go ahead. I really dont see you doing any better or proving it to anyone so why are you moaning?

go back to your playground with the several other members you smoke crack with behind the bike sheds and leave everyone else to do their thing.

[rexy]

I really really like this print and I received a rather nice email back from JBOY, he's a good guy

[Martin Whatson]

Do I get a confirmation that my mail got through??

[bazzj04]

I like it,, look good next to my " connect the dots "

[bullet]

Prize draw closes 11pm UK time on Friday... good luck!

[fuzzed]

Have entered this one JBOY, good on you doing the comp!

[jaslfc5]

great prints and a good website.the fact that he bothers to reply to your emails though is probably the thing that will make me buy off him in the future ,so much better to have a personal reply than an automatic response,a refreshing change.

keep up the good work dont listen to the haters.

[chrisps303]

I have also entered the comp for this one.

Good luck.
