Banksy • Flag SILVER, by ziggy on Dec 18, 2006 11:32:33 GMT 1, I got one of those postcard sized prints (80ish/100), very nice, thought it was a Banksy gift at first. I also reckon they will sell out soon, the rate they get people in and out.

Worse part will be watching someone actually pay £1000 for that.

Banksy • Flag SILVER, by danvnuk on Dec 18, 2006 11:46:16 GMT 1, Just got back in the office 20 mins ago with 'Tube'
I was in two minds whether to go down there, but a bout of insomnia kind of made the decision for me - I got there at 7am to see 15 or so people who had kipped out on the street to be first in queue (Hardcore)
So, joined the rear of the small'ish queue - The two hour wait of boredom being punctuated with being asked "What are you queuing for?" (I must have one of those 'approachable' faces because I got singled out again and again.....I was tempted to say "Gunther the giant talking Christmas Pike from Germany"......but somehow it just never came out and I remained my normal polite self.
The highlight of the two hours was a Council cleanup crew who turned up to paint over some Graffiti tags on a pillar behind the queue - which prompted many comments from the assembled bystanders such as "How ironic can you get?"
I also got asked to provide a comment to Channel 4 news - but as I'd been up all night and might just blurt out something that makes me look insane/a tosser - I offered my excuses and left (In journalist parlance)
So I have my Kids on Cars - my second Banksy - and it the piece of paper handed out with it says -
This artwork is printed on 240gm - chroma-lux paper, it will retain finger marks and dents so please handle with care. Remove from the tube as soon as possible and store flat"
So looks like a trip to the framers is in order - there's one down the road from me in Holborn - anyone know if its any good?
Cheers, Dan

Banksy • Flag SILVER, by smashedhat on Dec 18, 2006 11:48:14 GMT 1, I got a postcard print too, they were handing them out from the back once I arrived. Sure I'd rather have been at the front and get the free Kennard instead!
There was a Channel 4 TV crew trying to get interviews from people in the queue who refused. Most people bunking off work I guess!

Banksy • Flag SILVER, by gbh on Dec 18, 2006 11:52:37 GMT 1, and we have another:
cgi.ebay.com.au/Banksy-Print-Santas-Ghetto-2006-Number-765-1000_W0QQitemZ160064804358QQihZ006QQcategoryZ360QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
seriously, this shits me to hell.
Quote from the auction page: "Banksy print from the Ghetto. I bought it this morning after queueing in the cold. It is number 765 out of 1000. It has a P.O.W. stamp and is numbered on the back. It is only one and a half hours old so is in good nick. I have not put a 'buy it now price' on it but if you want to make an offer, feel free (this will allow you to give it as a Christmas present if we act quickly). Included will be a copy of the flyer (which is brilliant in it's own right) and the receit. Any questions, feel free. I'll post it as soon as i am paid and will charge you what the post office charge me, not a penny more"

Wish me luck!

Banksy • Flag SILVER, by Macdeee on Dec 18, 2006 12:07:02 GMT 1, RE: Free print
Its just a digital print numbered out of 100 and is signed as I "heart" MWY... Definately not anything to do with banksy or POW as it is directed at Banksy making lots of money. Pretty cool image though.
It was worth the que this morning. Nice to meet people with similar interests.

I doubt it, it's quite disparaging of banksy! the paper stock is quite nice but the printing isn't great. It's stamped I(heart)MWY. You can see it on this ebay chancer's auction 160064804358

Anyone have any experience of using these framers in Holborn?
(thinking of taking the print down there I got this morning) spoke to the guy on the phone - and he reckons about £60 for A2 size ball park figure

You'll find alot of members wont participate but are hungry for information. They dont give a damn about the art. If they hadn't visited this forum they wouldn't have known when to queue etc. I propose a 'invite only' section of this forum. It'll keep out all the chancers. Here release dates etc could be mentioned. Like it or not it's places like this forum which are becoming rich pickings for the c**ting ebayers (c**ting - yes had to get an 'Exorcist' expletive in there).

Not just about SG - other info which is discussed regarding many other artists etc should be heldback from ebay scum.
BTW congrats on your first message. Took one week - but congrats ;-)

Managed to get there for 11.20, seemed like there were about 30 or so left. Hopefully you'll be able to see the pic below (or a link)... even though you can probably see about 5 on the bay already.

Something like SG they can't do (for example, I paid for mine in cash - how are you going to track that?).
I noticed last time, after Grannies & Applause, people were putting them on ebay with the number of print. POW would have a record of that, but whether they will actually go to the effort of blocking them from a sale... is it really worth it for them? They are still getting their prints out the door (and the money in their pockets)...
