Banksy work sold at cost value!
Brahma, who make that nice beer from Brazil, have teamed up with artichoke to auction off an original Banksy print for 1p. Yes, a print that would usually be about £50,000 could be yours for nearly nothing. The print is currently being housed in a pop-up shop just off Carnaby Street at 3 Newburgh St, W1 so you can go and salivate over its beauty. The auction is only open to one person, so you had better hope you win the draw. Just go here and register, if you win you can always give it to your mum for mothers day!
