What the hell?, by kronoopus on Apr 26, 2009 17:41:10 GMT 1, I was doing some searches and came up with some of these:
tinyurl.com/d29egl tinyurl.com/d2ovy4
There is Faile and Banksy too...... WTF, I can't stand that shit. Can't the artist's whose work is "taken" here do something?

What the hell?, by graeme501 on Apr 26, 2009 17:49:37 GMT 1, i am for these posters
they are pretty massive, and i would imagine being the size they are, good quality, its obvious they are poster reproductions and they are not trying to pass them off as anything else
not everyone can afford a micallef, faile or banksy, but that doesnt mean they cant enjoy the art in their house too, im sure the artists wont lose sleep over ยฃ15

What the hell?, by graeme501 on Apr 26, 2009 18:22:46 GMT 1, its an interesting debate, as graffiti and street art is for everyone, its there, on the street for all to see, but then there are the limited edition prints which are, by definition, limited (and rather expensive if they are by the big artists)
i know there is alot of art for sale in the ยฃ50 and under thread, but what if you want something by micallef/faile/banksy but just cant afford it? POW used to do the soup cans for ยฃ10, but they went, aside from a book, there isnt much choice, so at least the posters does really offer the oppertunity to everyone to own an image of a decent size by their favourite artist, although it is not endorsed by them

What the hell?, by lastpost on Apr 26, 2009 18:34:38 GMT 1, I have bought a few reproductions on eBay of work I will most likely never own - I am yet to buy one of sufficient quality to put on the wall.
Most have been worse than I could do on my home printer.

if pepole want an image by an artist you cant afford what's wrong with buying a book by the artist, or going to flickr or their website and using a photo as a screen saver or a just use your printer and print one off and stick it on your wall ,not much better, but an answer to your point about cost imo

buying the book is all fine and well, but if you want something on your wall, then this would be a good shout, i would go for one of these 30"+ posters over an A4 printout
but im going on the assumption that these are good quality, judging by the feedback they are, but would be good to here from someone who has bought one
and i dont have anything to do with these posters, nor know the producer or seller, i just think they are a really good idea, and it filled a space in the market

What the hell?, by outandabout on Apr 26, 2009 19:56:02 GMT 1, cascadaleisure won my damaged paul insect print on ebay a few days ago. They got it for 80 odd quid. I didn't check the feedback but I assume they will use this print to do a poster. Look out for a wire views special poster in a few weeks time.

I disagree Als - I would venture to say, a fair amount of people could NOT afford a couple of hundred pounds for a poster.

I find that incredibly misguided & quite insulting.
What world do you live in? Take a look around you & you'll find a couple of hundred quid is a fortune to 90+% of folk

That might be true, but i bet 90% of people could find a few quid if a Banksy print dropped and they were able to pulled the trigger at cost , in an ideal world sods like that could not sell repros and make loads of money while doing so, like some kind of eBay gallery, and pepole could buy art they like, at a price they could afford, oh and world peace

Absolute rubbish I bet 90% of people on this forum couldnt afford to buy a Banksy print if it dropped tomorow, those that could would get it on there flexible friend so technically wouldnt even own it

so do you think that 90% of the people on this forum (WHO POST week in week out) will post they wish they had the money, after a Banksy drops? There were a lot of members at the London Art Fair, POW open day ect spending their cash or should i say VISA's cash, it's been that way for a long time, that's why were are in this kind of mess. I don't think for a minute that most people have not put the brakes on buying luxury items like art, me included, but not every one has been hit by the credit crunch yet, well not in their pockets, for the ones that still have their jobs, to me it seems that a lot of people over the last few months have spent quite a few quid on art and then posted it on here, in the same token a lot more people are selling loads of art on here too, maybe to fund another purchase or just to pay the bills. so i guess only time will tell if the 90% of members are skint, when the next Banksy print comes out Or will we see more bagged then bayed than normal?

Saving for a leased line I hope (I think that's about ยฃ5k a month within London or more outside), as otherwise any amount of cash is unlikely to get you one at source! It's only when Banksy releases a print that I wish I still lived in the UK to have a 1 in 500/5000 chance of getting one (or whatever it is these days). I don't know why I even waste my time trying from down here. Can't help myself though! It's like they say, half the fun's always in the chase! (don't tell my wife I said that) ;D
I dare say that even if we forget for a second about flip value, Banksy's following has now reached the point that his work will ALWAYS sell out in seconds from here on in, just so long as pricing is kept at/close to current levels. That's my belief anyway.

Absolutely. And expensive limited edition prints to don their walls is pretty much the last thing on their minds. Even the less well-off ones among us with smaller/more modest collections can count ourselves very lucky. We all heat our homes in winter and feed our familiies, or none of us would be wasting time with this hobby/addiction! Hardly a necessity is it?
I think it's pretty clear that more people ARE selling their art off too in these tough times, myself included to an extent.

I believe you told me you watch footy using P2P technology recently. That's not so very different really to image rights theft is it? OK, it isn't quite the same but the pricipal is similar. Do you really still pay for the right to watch all the movies and listen to all the music you do, by only "consuming" licensed copies? I certainly don't. I would guess Banksy and PCO are far more interested in "fakes" sold as the real McCoy. Or at least I hope they are. Bootleg products sold for what they are don't harm the market for real mercandise imo, as long as they are clearly described as reproductions and sold inexpensively without any COA. Fakes or anything with a forged sig' of course are a different kettle of fish.
