I wish this video got more attention. This guy is great. Same overall I wish this podcast could have more views, does such an amazing job of giving a different perspective on life.
If Max had been born into a middle class family he probably would be a famous artist. Art is mainly about class dictated by the upper class world. Max is spot on - letting the art "experts" think they are superior etc played to people's prejudices. You see this at art galleries where curators/directors dictate what can and can't be exhibited - even at small time galleries, and snobs prevail. Like all good scammers, Max is simply appealing to people's prejudices.
Max story reminds of a book by Sidney Sheldon 'If Tomorrow Comes.' In the book you can't help but admire the thief. Max tells his story in such a fun way you want to go along for the ride.
As important as it’s been that people who’ve been mistreated and abused are given their time, I love the last couple of videos. I’d have no chance of making it in either of their industries (🍆/🖌️) and so it’s particularly fascinating to learn about their lives, and have a few laughs along the way. Highly enjoyable. Thanks for (all) the videos. 🎉
Random fun fact: Max was “nicked” as he liked to say..(“knicked”? How do british folks spell it?) more than any living (or formerly living) art forger in world history. Unlike masters like Hebborn or Tetro, he only went so far when it came to the use of original materials, most of the time he hid the works under glass and crossed his fingers (to this day, alot of pieces won’t even be taken out of the glass prior to sale, esp less-expensive pieces). Hebborn was never caught, Tetro did a few months in the can once as he forged a still-living artist who caught wind. TLDR: Max was one of the worst forgers to come out of his era and is lucky to be doing relatively well 😐. I could have named more but for the sake of keeping this short, do your own research if at all interested.
_"She could hear the bucket rattling, she used to have have her legs open"_ I could watch a billion other TH-cam videos and I'll never hear this again. 😂
Great guy could listen to him all day. An ex of mine done a “Banksy and put it on eBay it had a lot of bids and when it got to nearly two and a half grand he got a email from Pest Control telling him to take it off.

You should do a full series with him. His compassion for the elephants made me fall in love with him.

Why are you just getting all the same guests on that you’ve had before? So weird!
The krays won’t of been in the same gaff as frankie. Fraser they were enemy’s
Not always.
Banksy has to be one of the most underrated guys out there
Nah he’s not underrated at all everyone knows him and loves his work and his stuff sells for hundred of thousands
World famous artist, Banksy, underrated you say?
underrated ? looool
Glad to see you're out of your cave
Brian Badonde? Booo
First thing I thought of
What a man.
