Robert Del Naja 3D - print advice, by eskay on Oct 23, 2013 13:40:39 GMT 1,  I have managed to bag a print that didn't make it to Laz's fire sale. It's basically the one linked below but it's unsigned without the additional shadowing & doodles on the left. The diamond dust is also slightly different.
What are people's thoughts on keeping just the right side by cutting it to size as per the markers? There's another print from the Laz sale that is actually just the image alone and it looks really nice.

Robert Del Naja 3D - print advice, by Ruggs on Oct 23, 2013 13:49:32 GMT 1, That's a bit like saying "I've just bought a Banksy di-faced Tenners print, do you think I should cut all the individual tenners out". Behave! WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CUT IT UP. Frame it as a whole artwork chap. Looks great by the way.

Robert Del Naja 3D - print advice, by spirit on Oct 23, 2013 14:07:31 GMT 1, Depending on what you paid, and whether you ever intended to sell it, Id say go for it.
Judging by the crop marks etc it looks like that was the artists intention for how the piece should look.
What you have at the moment is an unfinished printers sheet.
(And I've never stuck pins through a Banksy... I just paste them straight to the wall)

If the OPs primary concern is monetary value/investment, then he absolutely should not touch it. That is certainly the sensible approach and I understand why you and others take that view.
However, if the OPs primary concern is purely aesthetic personal enjoyment of the art, then I suspect he thinks it would look better cut out, and I would agree with him.
I don't agree with people who are saying it looks great as it is - particularly as his version does not have the doodles etc and is not signed. To me it looks like what it is, an visually unbalanced, unfinished printers proof. Cutting it out would make it look like a finished piece.
The only similar situation I've had was the Matt Small Exhibition booklet that had the hand finished prints (or more like editioned originals) on the back cover a few years back. To chop out or not....? I decided to chop it out and frame it and have had no regrets about it at all.
Another example might be invasion kits. If you want to sell them later then best keep them in their packet. But... you will enjoy them much more if you open them.
Plus it will cost much less to frame lol

Robert Del Naja 3D - print advice, by Ruggs on Oct 23, 2013 16:07:39 GMT 1, Basically, if the artist and publisher left it as it is then that's what was intended. Sounds like its an earlier proof than the one which was signed and stamped. Even if it didn't look right I still wouldn't muck about with it. Infact, what I would try and do is to somehow get in touch with Robert and see if he might sign it for you.

Robert Del Naja 3D - print advice, by eskay on Oct 23, 2013 16:27:06 GMT 1, a) I didn't pay for it, it was a given to me
b) The glitter is only applied to certain parts of the background on the one I have so in that respect it is unique
c) I may be getting it signed by Rob in the near future

Robert Del Naja 3D - print advice, by randomname on Oct 23, 2013 18:31:05 GMT 1, If you're not happy with the look, I'd try to trade it for the standard prints + $ if you can find a trade partner. Or just sell it and pick up the standard prints somewhere else. I wouldn't cut it, as I think it's worth more as a unique piece.

Robert Del Naja 3D - print advice, by silvermyn on Oct 23, 2013 21:22:19 GMT 1, Another option might be to get a similar sized print and double frame, covering up the bit you don't want to see. That way you'd get the best of both worlds; you'd see two images you liked without having to cut one up.
And it would be a nice surprise for whoever came to take it out of the frame later on

well that's solved then....best of both wold's
Suggest you cut it in half send half to Rob to sign while putting the other half on your wall.
When you get the signed half back you can tape it back together. Any problems drop ABC a message as sure he is able to either tape it or staple the two bits together
Sorted!!!
ps if the above sounds ridiculous ..........leave it alone!!
