I found this quite amusing

[hlarmy]

Lol, there can't be many buyers from Swansea, although it does appear there are a few flippers from there

The last few days have been bonkers. On many levels.

Nothing is being bidded. It's down to that goddamn banksy thing we did leaking all over Twitter. It went a bit to far. Ended up getting calls from newspapers and people thinking we had actually drawn a character over a 'haring' piece. Stoooopid.

But you didn't though!!

Where did those imaginary people get your number?

[bullet]

Imaginary people? It's on every art blog out there. Go check.

They did not literally call more sent us about 7 emails. I don't even know why I'm arguing this anyway. Go check online for yourself.

[notworthit]

when not jetting off to LA, Jboy's also played swingball in Pwllheli with Robert DeNiro, slept with Bonnie Langford, appeared on Centre Court at Wimbledon despite being unseeded, and got Jackie Chan a price for some paint.

[bullet]

Well, if I'm making it all up, I've been a busy boy with all the tweets and blogging.

Get a grip.

You won't have to wait long for the proof of the us trip either by the way, that will rear its ugly head soon enough

Out of interest, when you leaked it, did you say it was a photoshop mock-up or did you conveniently forget to mention that?

Fair play if you did. It wouldn't be the first time an "artist" had gotten themselves some free publicity off the back of Banksy and I'm sure it won't be the last.

I mentioned it here - urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=60538&page=4#711400 - Found it on ukstreetart.co.uk, no mention of Photoshop in the article itself but in comments yes. Clever Jboy, good Banksy hijack

[bullet]

To be honest, we don't write the blogs so have no control over things, however its pretty obvious that it's photoshopped. And even if it is, so what... It does not make the idea any less strong. We are not street artists - big difference.

If your looking at the spray can work on walls, well, you are looking at the wrong thing. Originals yes, but on walls no. Street art is getting boring or ruined by greed.

[bullet]

We had a paint fight.

Do not decide to pierce a spray can with a needle.

makes a mess.

So if anyone wants a chimp fail... Email us through our website and we will send it to you for free.

First come with your name and address. We will email you back to let you know if you were fast enough

+ tag on the back


Disclaimer: The rest are pretty awesome.

Looks like your first attempt with a spray can. What's with the tag?

[wilfsboy]

This thread is making me nauseous....

lol. well its pretty hard to say to be honest. i mean we had it sent to a lab for testing then the chilean president flew over for an inspection. It was then decided to get another opinion and do a focus group with 16-20 year olds. We plied them with alcohol and prescription drugs. and in the end they worked out the tag said JBOY.

dufus.

although to all those that bought these, look out for the carrot drawn in spraypaint to the lucky person that gets that one. thats the biggest achievement to date.

[Daniel Silk]

Not liking the tags need a bit more time getting used to the cans I think.
