Shipping Framed Art In SoCal, by pcant on Oct 26, 2011 21:01:48 GMT 1, Might be cheaper to simply drive it north, or meet buyer halfway? Not sure what your transport situation, but SF to LA's only about 5-6 hours' drive. (I know SD adds another couple hours, but depending on how expensive shipping is, it might work out).

Dummies Guide To Packing A Print, by pcant on Oct 9, 2011 5:59:17 GMT 1, Ever since I got a print from Black Rat Press I've been copying their method of using little corner pockets to secure the print in the middle of the paper it's rolled in. (I actually cut the corners off two envelopes and tape them down in the right place). This keeps the print from sliding to either end of the tube and getting crinkled.

OCCUPY WALL STREET, by pcant on Oct 8, 2011 20:54:10 GMT 1, the for-profit banks got themselves and the financial markets in a mess... and the taxpayers (via govt officials) bailed out the banks (who luckily largely paid back with considerable interest)... but, a couple of things to keep in mind: -when banks loan money to consumers (taxpayers), it is largely collateralized (e.g. by homes etc.) - if the consumer defaults, that collateral is most often taken from them; -the considerable taxpayer loans (approx 650B, if i recall) given to the banks (as bailouts) were largely uncollateralized - meaning if the banks had defaulted on those loans, the taxpayer really would have had limited to no recourse; the probability of default on those loans to the banks was very high, given market conditions (banks were falling like flies at the time); as such many may see this as a huge speculative financial bet by the govt using taxpayer funds to prop up entities (banks) whose sole purpose is to make money; personally, i think it was a reasonable move by the govt - otherwise we may be in even worse shape; nonetheless, there was gambling with considerable taxpayer funds; -now, there is a high rate of foreclosures and workforce reductions etc. and not alot of love for the consumers/taxpayers by the banks... the response you're getting from the banks is we're here to make a profit and provide value to our shareholders (which is their job); the govt who took big bets with taxpayer funds are not showing alot of love either (lame ducks at the mo); people are wondering about reciprocity, given the bailouts etc; this is only one small example of a reason for dissent and it is reasonable people are upset and feeling taken advantage of... and in the absence of power, in democratic societies, people often resort to protest - even if it results in nothing but being heard... and btw, it's election time but, bottom line is the financial system needs overhauling... and alot of people are not feeling the change... just my humble 2 cents...

OCCUPY WALL STREET, by pcant on Oct 8, 2011 20:16:49 GMT 1, I'm a bit stunned to see people on an urban art board criticizing folks for taking a stand against the establishment. Isn't street art, by its very nature, about speaking out against the establishment and the status quo? If you would hang Golf Sale or Festival on your wall, how can you side with big business over the masses in the street? Yes, it takes all kinds and all that. But do you think the Banksy Tesco Petrol Bomb poster was intended to laud Tesco?

OCCUPY WALL STREET, by pcant on Oct 8, 2011 5:55:41 GMT 1, Take Wikipedia with a grain of salt (although these are CBO figures), but your claim that Obama has "created more debt alone than all former president(s) combined" is questionable.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_by_U.S._presidential_terms
And taking one idiotic statement to smear a movement that has legitimate gripes about the way banks and big business have flourished while ordinary Americans are out of work is a bit misleading. Why is it that the media adorns the tea party (a largely "astro-turf" movement) with legitimacy (despite idiotic statements like "No socialized medicine! Hands off my Medicare" while the OWS protesters are slammed for having iPhones?

WCP The West Country Prince, by pcant on Oct 7, 2011 19:23:42 GMT 1, JV - thats true - but not many of us have the ability to screen print that image in the same quality as westcountryprince is doing I've got a coupe of original Banksy's which I love - and I just bought an HMV and Pulp Fiction which he sent all the way to Oz - I know they're not originals and if any visitors to the house ask i'll tell them the same - but I like the images - and for just over 50 notes i get a decent reproduction of an image i love on my wall The irony. Everyone rags on about MBW copying, then buys Banksy copies on Ebay! Priceless! ;D
I think there's a big difference in the two situations you describe. MBW is selling the art he and (mostly, I gather) his team make as his own, original art. And the gallery pieces sell for tens of thousands of pounds, yes? The reproduction Banksy prints are just that. They are fakes, but not SOLD as anything but. I don't want to wade too far into the debate, but it does seem that a lot of opposition to the reproductions has to do with the "value" of your collection. If you're buying art for an investment, not because you like the image, then I can see how that would be a concern.
