Blek @ BRP, by funster on Jul 9, 2007 9:28:02 GMT 1, Is anyone else surprised that Homeless in Paris is still hanging around over at BRP? IMO its one of my best prints and can't wait to get it on the wall. I know it was fairly pricey but how long do they normally take to sell out?

Blek @ BRP, by Tyler Durden on Jul 9, 2007 14:38:48 GMT 1, Normally you have some time to decide how much you like it before taking the plunge with BRP. Prints tend to cost a bit more, but as soon as they arrive you see where your extra pounds went. This is great for collectors who are happy to pay for quality and hang the results on their walls. It's also a winner as baggers tend to avoid picking up BRP merchandise (the exception seeming to be D*Face currently) giving you more choice. So BRP seem to have got it spot on currently, so long as they don't want their work to be sold in some big 'buying for buying's sake' and want it to get in the hands of those that want.
As for me, I agree that Beggar is one of Blek Le Rat's iconic pieces today, but I don't want a huge french flag on my wall. I know this feeling is echoed by others on the forum who would have otherwise bought this piece.

Blek @ BRP, by notitle on Jul 9, 2007 14:44:26 GMT 1, i can't believe haywain is still there!
considering how many fans of banksy's crude oils there are. such a small edition and a 21 colour screen print!
i know it's not cheap, but compared to a lot of the expensive junk that seems to be floating around it's a steal.
