nah its different a calender company is a big publishing firm and they should know better

if Banksy goes after everyone making fakes he will look bad

PestControl:
"Banksy is not represented by any other gallery or institution."

On that note I sure would appreciate a few official print releases.

I am not promoting these reproductions whatsoever - I am just saying that it offers those individuals that lack the financial resources to buy a Banksy print of an image they desire to do so at an affordable price. If I was Banksy I would have my people shoot off a legal "cease and desist letter and that would put an end to this circus. I believe these limited quantity repos help promote the Banksy brand to the masses and he is probably happy about it. Banksy hasn't been offering us anything new for a while now so maybe the wcp movement will light a fire under his butt or maybe he has too much glitter in his eyes to see the trees through the forest

Promotion by an admin on the banksy forum, it's simple, its either right or wrong.

I'm out of this, I've given this too much light. I'm embarrassed and disappointed by this thread.

What a storm in a teacup!

My dogs called Banksy...have I lost my moral compass?
Do you feel so strongly about fake Rolex's or Nike running socks??

Buy what you like...if that includes WCP's, so what?

Not for you nex? Thats fine....move on, dont sweat the small stuff!

“The bad artists imitate, the great artists steal.” Bad or great I wouldn't want a shit a2 print out on my wall they look shit. I will never be able to get a real print as these so call fans have put a really high price tag on his work just to try and make a few quid and when they don't sell they up the price more. These people are not fans but flippers and only hate that WCP is doing these prints as they might bring banksys prices down if you don't like what he's doing stop crying about it and move on. All the people that have got these prints have these on there walls I bet most of the real fans with real prints DON'T !!!!

[nex]

I've a very good friend who's got hi res prints of Banksys on his wall they looking fucking fantastic and cost him a fraction of wcp prices

[jeffro]

Good for him. So its ok to get good hi res prints if they are cheaper then WCP lol

[jeffro]

Your good friend must be a real fan he has his work on his walls

Go back and read my posts you'll see where my issues lie

He made his prints for love and his walls

Wcp makes them for profit off the back of someone else's talent

[jeffro]

Yeah they might make a small profit but I don't really care. POW make tons of profit off banksy prints and don't give a shit about the fans that want his work. They only care about there close friends and a few people they always sell to as I've seen people on here that enter the so called lotos and always manage to get the new prints. It bullshit I hope WCP keeps these prints coming and fair pay to um. Just hope WCP doesn't get to greedy and do what pow do and fuck people in the ass

[jeffro]

Apart from dora she was theyonly nice person I spoke too. And I havnt give them my custom for years and I never will again. And by the looks of the people that have jumped ship the only way is down for them. Just look at the shit they have on there site.

I've been on this site on and off for 5 years I've followed the graf world for over twenty, when I see what it's become and the parasites living off it I get pissed... But I get pissed by people's inability to have an intelligent discussion and deal with confrontation in an intelligent manner - it's a microcosm of the world so forgive me for giving a shit

[jeffro]

I no what your saying mate but the world is a shit place and more wankers are born everyday

[otomi]

My problem is that WCP is making money with it.
Banksy and POW worked hard for many years to get where they are.
Without people buying his stuff from him he would be working a 9-5 job for the last 10 years.
A long time ago Banksy sold his very early stuff cheaper than WCP now. (15 for a barcode ...)
The problem is making money with other peoples work/ideas.

Let's say you copy an album from a friend that is ok but if that friend makes hundreds of copies and sells them that I find wrong.

If you can't afford a 4000pound print so what there are hundreds of other cheaper artists. Put some time and effort into it and find something you like - unless you want to pretend to you have a real a Banksy.

Of all the places on the internet this should not be the place to celebrate fakes.

[iamzero]

Ok all home and unrolled. Looks good to me.

Couple of things I find odd about it though, the hair curl that has been filled in with colour has the same kind of detail in it that is missing from the main block of hair space so if it can be recreated then why not all over?

Also the neck is slightly cropped out too soon. My point is if you're going to the trouble of making screens to copy this image then surely it wants to be spot on and the neck and hair curl issue are simple things to have made right?

Other than that for the money this looks great and most definitely outshine a simple 4 colour press version that have been talked about. Just need to save enough for a real one now.

This should be the final word.

You're welcome to download whatever you wish from this site for personal use. However, making your own art or merchandise and passing it off as ‘official’ or authentic Banksy artwork is bad and very wrong. ~ Banksy

[jeffro]

Sorry if my views pisses people off and I see my respect goes up and down some people agree and some people don't life goes on lol I'm glad more fans can enjoy banksys work and the haters can fuck off hahaha
