After almost a decade since his last Don’t Panic collaboration, the ultimate graff master Banksy has created a new poster to celebrate the launch of his new film 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' called ‘Forgive Us Our Trespassing’.
Anyone who has been going out in a major city in the UK or in fact the world, during the last 10 years will probably have picked up a Don’t Panic Pack. These sought after bibles of information on their respective city's arts and culture scenes are coveted most of all for the treasure contained within, in the form of the highly collectable and valuable Don’t Panic Poster. This unique format has provided a springboard for young creatives and a source of free art for a generation of urban aficionados. Delivered in the ubiquitous Don’t Panic Packs, the Posters have become part of the cityscape across the UK and a treasured component of a night out.
In the last ten years Don’t Panic has given away Posters by Banksy, Eine, Pete Fowler, Shepard Fairey, Kate Moross, Blek le Rat, Lucy McLauchlan, Pure Evil, Jamie Reid, Gelman, Jon Burgerman, Neville Brody, Andrew Rae and many more world famous artists (click on image for gallery).
The ‘Don’t Panic’ curated exhibition ‘Wild Fantasies’ due to open on September 24th in Brick Lanes ‘StolenSpace’ Gallery showcases some of urban arts finest moments in poster format.
