Given there have been OGs of the previous few prints (Grannies, Trolleys, Morons, Applause, Stop & Search, Nola, Very Little Helps (the Pants canvas), Donuts and NBG it would seem strange that there was no original version released, so I was just wondering if there was a canvas version (although I would love to see the one on wood).

As far as prints, I've seen two completely different hand finished versions in white.

I'm guessing that there are OGs of all the prints as they were each made into a silkscreen for the print from a photo, no? I could well be wrong but looking at a list, nearly all (perhaps all?) of the print images have made there way into collectors' hands across other mediums. I'm hardly an expert but the few that I can definitively say that I've never seen photos of from other collector mediums include have a nice day, monkey queen, golf sale, pulp fiction, placard rats and christ w/ shopping bags. All of those were pretty early so it's possible they were screened from a photo of the version done in the streets which would leave just CWSB as, to the best of my knowledge, that was never done in the streets. Or, perhaps more likely, it's possible that each of those remaining images are sitting in collections somwhere.

Very interesting Lee.
Is your avatar from the CYW original?

I'm pretty sure I've seen a CWSB canvas. Either it was in a movie, the name of which escapes me or it was in the background of a Hirst interview. My memory isn't was it used to be but I'm pretty sure it exists. |

Yes, I had an opportunity to snap a couple photos at one point. As noted above it's large at ~8 feet square and one of those rare pieces (for my eyes anyway) where the artist made something available privately of that magnitude that was also done in the street. I've had the pleasure of seeing one or two others (large paintings, not CYW) that were much older and of similar scale to their counterparts in the street. They arrest the room and force the viewer to confront it. I quite like those; I'm sure there are many others but I haven't had the pleasure myself.

And the second more familiar one was on a backdrop of some description at the Ghetto in 2004...

Led, I'm friendly with the owner and will check but that may be something they prefer off this site.
Sundowner, thanks for a photo of that CWSB canvas, very nice. So that leaves have a nice day, monkey queen, golf sale, pulp fiction and the placard rats. Has anyone ever seen any versions of those that went to collectors? Quick count out of ~45 prints (counting the various soup cans and placard rats each as one), we're down to the 5 different images above.

Choose your Weapon OG, by elevenspots on Feb 27, 2013 0:32:55 GMT 1, Not a Choose Your Weapon - but at least its an OG. This S&S was on the very top floor of Laz's old place - they opened the doors to the general public on the "Shut Down" show preview a couple of years ago.
As you can see from the bloke to the left - I think its life size, maybe the same stencil that was painted on the Left Bank?
Please excuse the 1. blackberry photo 2. the photo posting not working (please disregard or help if applicable)
