The famously secretive Banksy painted it in early 2006 on the wall of a building in London's Shoreditch area and it was documented by his so-called 'partner-in-crime' Steve Lazarides in the first volume of the Banksy Captured book. But then it was painted over by the building's owner who feared it would create a security problem.
The building was later sold and it was only when the current owner was leafing through a book featuring Banksy art locations - a Christmas gift for his son - that he recognised one of the areas shown and realised a Banksy must be on his building. He raced there to investigate but the section of wall had since been painted black.
Apologies for the personal post/shameless plus but big things are happening! My new place of employment The Arcanist's Tavern is opening soon, in Shoreditch, London!
We aim to create the ultimate immersive destination for tabletop and roleplaying games, allowing you to roll dice in the candlelit halls of a real rustic fantasy tavern.
The venue is shaping up to be something truly incredible and a place that I hope gamers will embrace as somewhere they're welcome and wanted.
Please follow our accounts and if you can, please contribute to our Kickstarter, which is live now!
Having the fright of our lives at the Meta Quest 3 Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord VR gaming experience 👻
It’s mixed-reality, meaning that you can still see the room (and people) whilst playing the game, so you don’t bump into anything. A lot of fun and I loved going through the rain on the way in! ☔️
