New Banksy in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset?

[advers]

Looks like a modified "No Future" stencil, with the baloon replaced by an oscar.

Detail is all wrong

This is very interesting... we'll have to see what happens. Although I'm like everyone else and think this isn't the real deal.

here's photos of the stencil from the ebay auction:

If it doesn't look good then it probably isn't real.

1. Oscar doesn't look good and isn't shaded properly.
2. What's with the black lump inbetween the legs? A cushion?
3. The black parts are too heavily sprayed.

Not real

The hair details / shades are not the same.
My bet is that the stencil on the wall AND cardboard stencil are by some unknown street artist admirer who made a tribute to Banksy... I doubt Banksy would drop a stencil in a wasteland by a trainstation.

Nah its Mr B. Kinda like the green hornet, but slightly more yellow

Fake.

Clever attempt at a hoax, and possibly with a view to bumping up the price of the 'found' stencil. Suprised that the photos on the wall were posted after the sale on ebay ended. But perhaps we'll see it relisted as it only had one bid - probably from a mate.

It's not actually the stencil that was sold, it's a piece made from the stencil. I'm not au fait with the way Banksy works but I doubt he tests out his stencils in situ on a sheet of white paper. Is the implication that because it was found by the train station he dropped it while getting the train back?

This is an elaborate attempt at a hoax, with the potential to make money.

And one other thing....it's s***!

Wow. The fakest.

[BK83]

Nice idea, though!

I do think this a fake of course, but just thought i'd point out that the "lump" is on the original..

[fuzzed]

Definitely a fake, no where near enough detail and originality for it to be Mr B.

[adewilliams]

waste of perspex

[twinkle]

Fake!!! I've just paid £50k for the whole wall on ebay...... doh
