Banksy – Artwork [Sleeve]
DJ DM ?– Laugh Now EP Label: Not On Label ?– PC2 Format: Vinyl, 12", EP, Limited Edition, Silver Cover
Rumoured to be by Dangermouse. Cover artwork by Banksy with Monkey . One side of the cover has "keep it real" other side "Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge" hanging from the Monkeys neck. Tracks are the same on all 4 releases. Limited to 1000 copies for each colour (numbered on the A side 0001 to 1000).
Whether plastering cities with his trademark parachuting rat, painting imagined openings in the West Bank barrier in Israel, or stenciling “We’re bored of fish” above a penguins’ zoo enclosure, Banksy creates street art with an irreverent wit and an international reputation that precedes his anonymous identity. “TV has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has pretty much killed painting,” he says, “but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress.” Banksy has gained his notoriety through a range of urban interventions, from modifying street signs and printing his own currency to illegally hanging his own works in institutions such as the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art. Most often using spray paint and stencils, Banksy has crafted a signature, immediately identifiable graphic style—and a recurring cast of cops, soldiers, children, and celebrities—through which he critically examines contemporary issues of consumerism, political authority, terrorism, and the status of art and its display.
