They're auctioning it off for charity.

This is amazing. I love this guy so much. He's a walking, breathing "fuck you" to the superficialities of our dumb greedy society.

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, and any Banksy fan has/should watch it, but the epic documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop is a must-see for art/weird enthusiasts. elizabeth this isn't quite a Cthulu (Chalupa, Chitpole?) glass project but it's just as marvelous.
