help needed - checked the banksy website - but can't find the 'monkey parliament' image to print for personal use... can anyone help?

have a few congressman want to deliver to... fought a battle with them over the past few days and lost - will fight again tomorrow - but they're such monkeys - need to let them see what they really are... government sucks! (btw - do know i'm a hypocrite, but so effing what!)... they still suck! - bad day today - need music!

Don't have the image but would be curious to hear the details of the fight.

My Fault, misterx, no need to be confused.

[maumau93]

no a fake banksy but a john doe rip off? (with banksy in the name... i just didnt want to start a whole new thread about this one bit)

[hotdog]

looks like they wont stay on there long wish i had some spare cash would love one of these to put up in my office at work

[gironawatch]

You like banksy and you buy those shit replica prints??
You should be shame of you!!

[hotdog]

yeah i like banksy and i like other art but i wont pay £7000 for this print and i wouldnt have a photo copy of the image on my wall
why is it wrong to buy fakes if you cant afford the real deal
can only rich people be real banksy fans these days?

[hotdog]

may be art galleries should take note cheap art sells
fans are happy - flippers get up tight coz they are losing customers to sell too

Is it just me or does the CWSB looks like it has a light blue (rather than grey) background?

[hotdog]

it does look a bit lighter but if you look on the banksy prints and there is 3 framed
one looks darker then the other two
could be down to the camera he used

[hotdog]

just got a email from him

Its grey - it's the flash from the camera that makes it look lighter - Its the same color as the original

[juicylucy]

One of the best Banksy prints - GWSB....And they have only numbered them out of 50, thats the same as the originals - right ?

It is possible that GWSB is an edition of 50, but CWSB isn't

Surely Girl with Shopping Bags must be a smaller edition?

It's not an image that I like but it would be great to see some good photos of the print.

Have to say that the turf war, happy choppers, and laugh now are very good. ;D

;D

I am holding out for a Kate Moss. If he does that, he shall be getting my custom.

I bought the 'I fought the law...' print today, and I feel guilty.

Back in the day I visited London and saw his slogans and Che's, etc... on the train bridges and that blew me out of the water. I really liked his work, but I chose to spend the little money I had on cans and travelling and now I can't afford his prints/canvases anymore.
I really like this print, so Banksy: if you're reading this: sorry, but I bought a copy. I feel bad about it.

One last thing (and that's why I think he's a real originator): Banksy brought graffiti and punk together.
You can't underestimate the punk attitude

[Lunch Special]

ouch

I finally gave in and bought a few of these recently to hang in place of my genuine signed editions. They're hopeless, the paper stock is so far from the original and the inks are pathetically off-hue. Epic fail.

Seems to go against all of his ebay feedback.

[fatscoundrel]

I very much doubt the west country prince is banksy.

[dodge]

I have looked at a few of these and even bought a couple out of curiosity. The Laugh Now was ok but the edges of the monkey had a slightly smudged effect, almost as if the ink was too runny. A friend of mine has a Love Rat which was really sharp and I struggled to tell the difference between his repro and my original (apart from the paper which feels thicker). I also have a LIITA from him. I have no original to compare it to but the colours and fine detail look spot on. Somehow, I don't think Banksy is knocking them out!

[jdwheeler]

Does anyone have the dimensions for the West Country Prince Girl With Balloon?

Want to get a cheap frame. Does IKEA do a size that will fit?

Cheers.
