Saw this 'limited edition' rat print by Banksy in an art shop in Bloomsbury today. You know the score - black and white rat on canvas, nicely framed, witty quote. Etc. It was one of a limited edition of 350 prints - for some reason that doesn't strike me as a particularly 'limited' quantity. However the price of the print was more than slightly baffling. £3450. You do the math.

Got me thinking about a little gorilla art project of my own.

Buy 50 Banksy prints. Best go down to Brick Lane or somewhere where they only cost a fiver each. Find a number of pictures of Banksy himself. Attach to said artworks (see above). Create a high quality book of the 50 prints claiming as your own artwork. Send 50 copies of sample book to various art critics/bloggers. Await slanderous reviews. Await letter from Banksy's attorney. Make video of opening of letter.
