ATBShop has been made even more famous by whats hoping to be confirmed today as Banksy’s lastest creation. It’s even hit the local press that have got wind of it! See the headlines on todays Swindon Advertiser below!
The mysterious artwork appeared over night during the weekend and has been a massive hit with locals and visitors travelling from all over the UK. Many people have been arriving at ATBShop Skate Warehouse this week just to have their photo taken with the artwork.
Diana said that she’s baffled by this mysterious artwork. “At first we were really puzzled by the appearance and didn’t understand how or who had made it. One of the local skaters said it looked as if Banksy had been over. At first we laughed it off but then thought it might be a genuine Banksy. He is in fact only based down the road in Bristol so it maybe real.” Diana went on to say “Its no secret that our roof needs redoing and local skaters said that maybe it was a gift to help us to afford the repairs. Local skaters know we’ve been helping out with a few homeless kids and putting on free skate nights with pizza, so thought this might be Banksy’s way of supporting us.”
There have been lots of positive feed back so far from the artwork. One skater pointing out it was a bit tongue in cheek how the artwork was put up next to a no smoking sign. But they said that would be Banksy’s humour.
ATBShop Skate Warehouse is hoping to have conformation after lunch today from one of Banksy’s people to confirm if this is in fact a genuine or just a clever fake.
Either way its become a real sensation and ATBShop is not charging anyone who would like to come and view or have their photo taken with the piece.
