Banksy Postcard 2023 – GoMA – homage

Description

A Scotland traffic cone story, turned into art.

An original postcard design, inspired by Glasgow’s most famous piece of street art: the Duke of Wellington statue, forever crowned with a traffic cone.

Banksy once called the cone “his favourite piece of artwork in the UK” very fitting, since it was never made by an artist at all, just decades of Glaswegians refusing to let the council take it down.

My dad told me the story over 20 years ago, and I’ve told it ever since, including also on our Glasgow postcard.

When Banksy brought his first exhibition in 14 years to Glasgow in 2023, I told the cone story again — and two hours later, Torrie had turned it into this. Genius.

Printed to perfection in CMYK on quality gloss card stock. A limited run — one is added free with any playing card order for the next month or two.
