Very nice...
Banksy's print releases since eine's departure at pow have been very different in their print style. Both this and nola almost look like they've been spray painted on where as his previous releases had a much crisper definition of character. I'm not sure what i prefer...I guess the new 'spray painted' style is more reflective of his street work adn either way this print is a beauty

looking good! Shame the numbering is so close to the edge (for framing purposes) how's the paper feel? Hmm. Good point, didn't even think of that. Float mount the way forward then I guess? |

The number is tucked right in the corner arcam. Maybe this was done to retain the integrity of the print as if it were any larger it may intrude on the overall image seeing as the Tesco kids are hanging over the blue background? Ps. not being artistically educated I could well be spouting utter s**te! Level with the sign would have been spot on. No biggy just limits options for framing, not that I'd care if I had one. ;D |

No, not yet but then again I know it's kosher as I got it from POW in person so i don't really need one do i? that depends, if i was buying one in the secondary market (which i am considering), the fact that it doesnt have a blindstamp would be a concern to me. So a COA is going to be vital. alsbabar, I have never understood why POW (with the amount of paper they get through) dont have their own paper produced with a POW watermark? |

Maybe a white box frame (in the same manner misterframeman did my Walker TMA) with a white border possibly with either a matching blue accent or possibly red? Not too sure yet but I will have plenty of time to decide as I need to save some penny's ps. the best thing about this print is that it ends in my favourite number  |

So gutted i did'nt score this or nola! I feel like il never get a banksy! Don't give up. Just wait until the next Banksy lotto and keep your fingers crossed as the odds were no where near as high as some predicted. If POW raised £24 K and bearing in mind some bought a few Micalef tickets - say that's 23,000 Banksy tickets. The majority bought 20 tickets (some bought a few more and Pikeys like me a few less) - that's only about 1000 or so people in the tom-bola. Each time a person is picked that is roughly 19 tickets (one individual) eliminated. Therefore each time a winner was picked the odds get more and more in your favour so by the time 250 tickets were picked the odds must have been pretty good for those final few who got picked! |

I do laugh as I have been buying Banksy`s since 2003....
and Now I win the right TO BUY a Banky and know how LUCKY i am..........just hope i get mine before xmas.
With regards to blindstamps I really dont think it matters at all as long as you have the provenance / protox or pow email and the whole edition is consistent with stamping .........back in the day it was really hit or miss whether they were signed or stamped etc
Nowadays they have a lot more consistency and structure

Lovely print, although I can't believe POW didn't blind stamp it with a complex blind stamp.

Probably a revenue earning ploy. You'll get an email next week saying they are offering blindstamps on your vlh for £50
