Happy Choppers for me, Bomb hugger is a classic of course but I don't like the look of the hand that wraps around the bomb, it looks like it's only got three stubby fingers.

[danvnuk]

Bomb Hugger for me - (Im not biased in any way ;D) Happy Choppers is a great print - and the colours in it work extremely well.

I'd love to own one.
But, I'd say Bomb Hugger was the more striking, dare I say, Iconic image.

At the end of the day - way back when I bought mine, I'd seen a load of Banksy images all new to me - Happy Choppers included, they were nearly all available to purchase still (with not much effort and with hindsight, not much money either).....but I chose Bomb Hugger to spend my hard earned cash on.

*edited to add - I hadn't seen Rude copper at the time and I don't think it was available anymore- I'd love one of these. ;D
Im quite partial to the Queen Victoria image as well.

talking about the price of the prints in the past just makes me want to break down and cry for hours..

LOL I just didnt know about POW at the time... even thought I saw his stuff around bristol..

Damn!

[cosmic]

both have simply stunning bright colors these two are on a par for me in my collection , although happy choppers has spent more time on the wall , i like the graphic style clouds at the bottom !

[themightyreds]

Both are easily worth over a grand unsigned, prob £1200 is a fair (ish) price for either.
Happy choppers would have to be my choice, but only as i've not yet seen a bombhugger in the flesh...

[lesroy]

saw both in the flesh today at Andipa.... both of which are up there with the best. But after seeing them side by side in teh flesh today I'd chnage my mind and go with the Bomb Hugger.

It seems to have load sof what would have been "overspray" on the left of the print, on her pony tail... it makes the print look like an original. VERY STRIKING INDEED!

Close call but Bomb Hugger for me

PS... three fingers rule!

[wezzley]

totally concur lesroy

Out of the two, its Choppers for me. Since seeing it in the Ordinary Boys video it just makes it stick in my mind, not sure why but just reminds me of the madness days when I was a nipper. I Honestly think Choppers is one image most will recognize and associate with Mr B in the future (apart from the rats of course)

and for this very reason it must be bombhugger.

It may have to be quite a lot of cashola for someone to get tempted by that offer indiekid, the 2 prints are in different leagues

[indiekid]

Probably, but that's ok - I saw a HC go on ebay on 14th Nov for £1175, Applause is a large print & probs will go for £800 - £1000 no ? Maybe the HC was a bit dodge....what do you reckon would be a fair deal ?

[indiekid]

there's a 'test' HC print on ebay - anyone reckon it's real ?

[RBK]

Bet you do... very lop-sided trade proposal

The HC was marked on reverse from mounting glue etc, hence the lower price. Grannies are going for around 600, Applause I'd imagine around the same, regardless of size.

[LoveRat]

Edition size is more of a factor , rather than actual size.

[indiekid]

OK - how about a micallef angel bomber, banksy applause, a shat-at (colour of your choice) & Dolk's Burgerking ?

[indiekid]

applause on ebay buy it now went this pm for £1100
