Hi,
I had a Banksy moment a couple of years ago ( but i didnt spray on buildings, just corrugated cardboard symbolic of throwaway culture) and i really want to post it here but i cant as im 'not allowed to post attatchments'.

How can i get this photo onto here without paying money to upgrade?
Its not an especially amazing bit of spray/stencil work but symbolically it kicks ass. Any ideas? Cheers

I made it years ago, looks a bit childish now but it made sense when i did it.
I originally saw the CONCEPT of it as a sort of ultra choppy version of the fightclub/ x-men titles, camera dipping in and out of the gun barrels, close cuts to beads of sweat dripping, shaky hands and general uncertainty.
The only question i can see that it poses is will the person sitting down (symbolic of the general public of the world) move their head in time before the bullet hits, after all, they CAN see it coming because of the loop. If you've ever attatched a monitor to a camera and filmed the monitor then you'll know what im saying. END LOOP
Black and red were my only spraypaint options, but they resemble a dictatorial colour scheme. Note the means by which each of the servants get their power. It is on their person and it is coloured.

If the triggers were pulled at the same time, only the king and the structure of his power would survive, everyone else is expendable, although in retrospect this is wrong as a power structure relys on all of its contributors and would not kill them off.
The structure of his power (Technology and 'human interest') hypnotized the person sitting in the chair to such an extent, that that person could see his/her own death and have the opportunity to do something about it but would do nothing.

Like i said, not a work of brilliance but a reflection of my early conspiracy reading none the less....
hope you get something from it

Nice one nowimgone, this is deep symbolically art if you ask me, I want it on a t-shirt or something :)
If you did this some years ago I bet you still can handle the 'cans' now, do you have more pictures?

thanks man, glad you liked it.
I dont have any more pictures but i have shit loads of designs. I could always put them on t-shirts or cut out a stencil for spraying anywhere.
Somemore titles include; 'School', 'Commerce' and 'Heavy Weather' (stolen from Weather Report)

Nice idea! I'll send them all off to threadless and make some dollar!!

Hi Lydia,
I have more designs but none are stenciled yet. Im afraid i'll have to keep them to myself for now. If im going to put them on t shirts etc i'll need to make sure no one knows what they look like until ive got them sorted, intellectual copyright etc... cheers for your kind comments!

Has anyone got a shot of that brilliant mural we saw at the Glastonbury meet-up? It features in the end titles of Dondaz' film of the event.

thast quite clever and true. although swap the priest and royalty around, as the clergy are far more powerful than the royalty/elite. and its awesome bro, you should be proud of that.
