I havent got a camera here now but its arrived and its my first banksy and good god it looks good.
im just wondering if its a screenprint (as teh dexcription says) or giclee because its really quite well done.
p.s. LEAVE THE ANIMOSITY, THE "U ARE GONNA F**KING FLIP IT, HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH TO YOU, YOU LYING FLIPPER, YOU ARE GONNA CASH OUT ON IT, BETHELHEM MADE ME SEE GOD AND U DIDNT SO U ALL SUUCK, GOZ U SHOW OFF ARROGANT LITLE MAN" AT THE DOOR PLEASE. WE DONT WANT THAT HERE. (theres another thread about trollies 28 ed all about that).

Nice one! Stop looking at it and get it straight to the framers before you damage it or drop chips on it!!

yeah. knowing my luck, i'll probably get splashed on by a bus, struck by lightning, doused in a falling paint pot, and then get mugged on the way home.

Was it sent in a tube? I have heard they might be sending these flat b/c they are so fragile.

Get a cab home! Consider it part of the cost of the art. Be careful!

tube. definitely. tube. its as tubular as it gets.
its as fragile as paper is fragile i guess.
pretty thickish glossy gold paper. its signed in the front and numbered behind. It has two signatures almost.... one screenprinted (presumably from the original FLAG image) and one handsigned.

LOL do not use washing gloves. I have a silver flag and I know a lot of people ended up with fingerpritns from touching the actual image, as long as you handle carefully you should be OK, cotton for safety, rubber gloves, well I'd leave them in the kitchen.
Another warning, if this is a same process as the silver, keep it miles away from any humidity, mine has become quite ripply after leaving it outside my bathroom door for a few months.

Goz, fantastic, can't wait to see the photos.
Isn't it great to hear someone (and I mean you can almost hear) so excited about a piece of art.
Well done indeed. Your obvious happiness has brought a smile to my face.... ;D ;D

  To be honest... theres not much point taking photos cos u cant really see the shine and the gloss on it. ok thats it. thats the last time im taking it out of the tube. see those two pint glasses i used to hold the print down. one had water in it and it almost spilled on the print. whew. now im waiting for some water mains to explode and flood my living room.  |

very nice goz. Have you thought about framing options yet? Perhaps a distressed gold frame?

i swear pezlow's permanenetly on here. u have a buzzer that goes off whenever people most new messages? (u must have had helluva ride when the bethlehem debates went on... mmmmm......)
erm... i dunno man.... i really dunno.... i dun think Gold... was chattin gto a colleague about it and we agreed..l there's too much gold if we put a gold frame and might cheapen it? not sure man... there's already a gold border around it... maybe a thin strip of black border and then maybe a black frame? i really have no clue.
although... im strangely fixated on the judith supine black ornate frames. its been bugging me since forever.

Oh, really lovely ;D Surprised no one appears to have commented yet that it has Banksy's new signature so is presumably only recently been signed. Do you think Banksy wore cotton gloves or marigolds when doing it ? |

Lol, didn't you know there are 4 pezlows. Actually I spend a lot of my day on the phone for work so when on the phone I also browse this site. Won't be around on monday though as I have to go to a meeting all day  terrible timing. re the frame agree that a normal gold frame might be a bit much but maybe something a bit distressed might be sweet... |

Looking at some of the recent pics posted of framing i think a good idea would to be let Mrframerman work his magic on this for you bro. |
