Finally - a Banksy on my wall, by daveart on Oct 9, 2008 15:30:31 GMT 1, Ok.. opening myself up to ridicule for those of you old timers that bought a ton of Banksy prints when they were affordable.
Eight months ago I bought a Banksy - Have a Nice Day -one of my personal favorites.
-Tube showed up crushed a bit on one end. heart stopped beating when the post handed it over. filed a complaint on the spot. luckily though the tube was a bit long and the end cap that was crushed did not impact the print.
-Seller sent what little information they kept.. who knew in 2003 these would be that important... there were suddenly many stories of fakes floating about .. so I was worried. no framing if its fake.. so talked to POW on verification.
- Send the print back across the pond to Dora to look at. Not complaining..but .. that took longer than i thought it would. Print was returned successfully confirming the original buyer information and print was legit. 2nd heart stopping moment that worked out.
- Wait a few more months to scratch up some cash to frame the thing as in the mean time i bought a Faile and depleted all funds.
- Two long weeks at the framers.
- FINALLY on the wall... and looks great
Fits perfectly the mood of the world.. and the mood people should have in my office.
** updated to add picture ** sorry about the glare.... best i can do with my iPHone.

Must get it reframed.
I had it cheaply framed when it was only a £150.00 print from POW.

I figured someone would notice the hook. i took another print down to hang this as quickly as possible.. will have to get that sorted. never thought i would take down a Haring print.. but .. times change. Haring print goes to the conference room now. Banksy is in the office to stay.
