Banksy Donuts Print, by Deleted on Aug 3, 2009 19:09:33 GMT 1, Did anyone else get the 'successful donut registration mail'? I sure as hell didn't... (Or is that the mail they send you when you've been picked??) That's the winner's email.
I take it that 'smiley wink' means you got one. Well done.

Banksy Donuts Print, by bigwilly on Aug 3, 2009 19:09:37 GMT 1, I think itยดs a great image and if by a miracle I manage to win one in the lottery...I will happily hang it on my wall. In terms of a Banksy image having to have a deep political and significant meaning...I donยดt agree. This is classic Banksy humour and executed perfectly. It makes me smile every time I look at it and I guess thatยดs the most important thing. Or if youยดre looking for a deeper message...how about the idea itยดs about the police having misplaced priorities and instead of doing basic policing they waste their time on trivial matters such as spending hour after hour completing red tape [or in this case protecting their own interests...symbolised by the doughnut]. Or if you want to go even deeper...what does the doughnut represent? How about the American dream? From the outside itยดs sugar coated and alluring. But somewhat flawed with a massive hole in it and needs to be protected from attack [perhaps foreign]. I like the fact that you can read into the image as much as you want...rather than having the message rammed home.. I hope all the people who donยดt like the image wonยดt be entering the lottery...but I doubt that. Fingers crossed iยดll finally get lucky....but I also doubt that! Best of luck to everyone...hopefully a lot of forum members will end up with one.

Banksy Donuts Print, by Deleted on Aug 3, 2009 19:11:22 GMT 1, Forgot to mention...
... I happened to be walking by the new POW gaff today and they were unloading a van full of print tubes. I couldn't resist asking one of the guys if they had 'a spare Donuts going'.
I recieved a very polite 'No, I'm afraid not'.
Oh well, I'd have regretted not asking!

Quite refreshing!.....Snakes post unhelpful, these (or any subsequent releases) won't be popping up on POW any time soon...
I don't blame the flippers and lay the blame quite squarely at the point of release, these should have been sold at ยฃ1000 sorting the men from the boys. Dont accept the 'art to the masses' argument otherwise we'd all have dead sheep in formaldahide on the wall....

Banksy Donuts Print, by twist65 on Aug 3, 2009 23:12:46 GMT 1, yeah I'm totally buzzing too my girlfriend got an email at half 3 this afternoon, we gotta chocolate one! Bad timing due to impending baby, but we're down-grading the buggy and the print is "bump's" first piece of art..!!
I was wondering about the Pest Control thing too - will they come with PC authentification? Or do we all have to send them off and pay for it! I notice the message on PC website hasn't changed since this print release... =]

I have wondered whether a COA would be included with these too, but in reality, there's no need to think about a COA unless you have selling in mind.

Banksy Donuts Print, by findtom on Aug 4, 2009 8:11:30 GMT 1, After years of trying to get my mitts on a Banksy print, I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to order this one as I was chosen from the prints lottery. I love the image, it's one of my favorites so far and I'm planning where to put it in my place like an expecting parent building a crib for their unborn child.
Has anyone actually received or picked up their print yet? I gather POW can take up to 28 days to ship? Sorry if this has been discussed endlessly (I have poked around a fair bit), but anyone have any idea when I can expect to receive it here in Los Angeles and how they'll be shipping it? I'm scared it will go by mail and take forever to get here and/or get lost.
