This artwork is limited to 10 pieces and the money due to the artist will be donated to a charity that deals with domestic violence. You may recall back in October 2019, as employees and art collectors looked on, one of street artist Banksy's most famous works shredded itself at Sotheby's auction house. The artwork, a 2006 spray-painted stencil titled “Girl With Balloon” — and voted the UK's best-loved artwork in 2017 — was sold for $1.4 million before it started to shred itself. After the incident the collector agreed to still purchase the print and, it was rumoured, that due to such publicity may very well go up in price.
I’ve mulled over this strange incident and decided to put out a pre-shredded print after Banksy and sell it for a fraction of the cost. It leaves one pondering which buyer has the best deal? The artwork is A3: 42x30. The black paper it is mounted on is 49 x 39. The glass has been removed from the frame for safe shipping.
Pre-shredded print after Banksy (save $1.4 million).

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Born in Hampshire, England, Colin arrived in Australia in 1971 and found work making chandeliers and later delivering rental televisions. Studying for matriculation over two years at night school he enrolled in Art College at the Preston Institute of Technology in 1975. A number of leading artists taught at PIT and Colin had the opportunity to work in audio with David Tolley, conceptualism with Dom De Clario, with the hard edge painting of Dale Hickey and the large, expressionistic work of Peter Booth, all of who have subtly influenced his own art. Majoring in Sound and Painting Colin left to drive taxis and to teach Art. Failing to heed the advice of a gallery director who told him to consider concentrating on one genre and sticking to it Colin continues to produce figurative paintings and drawings; large, ambient, colourwork and the occasional sculpture, installation and audio work.
About my artwork.
My work is generated from things around me that fit a certain feeling. At times I go looking and find them in places, or in objects and people. Other times I find them in a less active fashion, in sounds or perhaps in dreams or blends of colours. I find making artwork irresistible and enjoy the actual cognition of looking, listening and producing the work. Art is a rich tool, a mechanism that I can use to explore and respond to this curious and strange world where things appear both solidly real and also evasive and elusive.
