ReplyDeleteTestimony On How A God Sent Lender Changed My Life for Good...
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, My name is Courtney Bieneman from California and i am talking as the happiest person in the whole wide world today and i told my self that any lender that rescue my family from our poor situation, i will tell the name to the whole wild world and i am so happy to say that my family is back for good because i was in need of $186,000.00 USD loan to start my life all over as i am a single mom with 3 kids and the whole world seemed like it was hanging on me until i met this GOD sent loan lender that changed my life and that of my family, a GOD fearing lender, Mr Mason Diego, he was the Savior GOD sent to rescue my family and at first i thought it was not going to be possible until i received my loan of $186,000.00 USD May 2015 and i will advise anyone who is in genuine need of a loan to contact Mr. Mason Diego via email at: { diegoloancompany@yahoo.com } because he is the most understanding and kind hearten lender. thanks..
These pieces sold has nothing to do with Banksy's wallet, this is one person who stole a Banksy, sold it to a gallery (Private) to another gallery (Private). He has never personally put anything in to an auction house, he has given paintings to charities so that they may benefit in the capitalization of the art industry. What wealthy artist does significant work against capitalism?... Who ever put this together, thanks this is a good list but please remove the intro paragraph. You are wrong.
ReplyDeleteART IS A WAY OF LIFE AND SOME SAY THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
