banksy front page decimated @ POW, by mido on Mar 28, 2006 15:23:38 GMT 1, The front page of the banksy section at the POW website has been decimated ;D
In the last month the Coloured Soup cans, the Blue Soup cans, CND Soldiers, and now Jack & Jill have sold out. Only Grin Reaper left on that page.
Poor old rats, napalm etcโฆโฆ left on pages 2 and 3.
And Virgin Mary - LOL

banksy front page decimated @ POW, by Daniel Silk on Mar 28, 2006 16:08:07 GMT 1, Yep, not much left to choose from 
Lets hope we have something new come out when the POW website gets updated ;D
It must be hard for POW to know what to do next really  they could bring out two new prints that could all sell out in just a couple of months. I mean thats great! but can Banksy come up with an idea for a new picture every single month? 
The one I would like to see made into a print is the "Kissing Coppers" I think it would be a massive hit!
Link it into the news thats going on at the minute about Police forces merging and working together more

banksy front page decimated @ POW, by mido on Mar 28, 2006 17:31:27 GMT 1, I have a controversial suggestion.... :-)
There are only about 5 back catalogue / sold out prints I really want and judging from the current prices I will probably NEVER be able to own any of them (golf sale maybe, happy choppers unlikely, Laugh Now unlikely, Love is in the Air very unlikely, and Have a Nice day very very unlikely)
.......... so how about a poster version of some sold out prints so at least I can have it on my wall. Obviously it would have to be very clearly different (e.g. different size or colour) from the print to stop ANY chance of mistaking them....
Or maybe even a reprinted print? I bet that will be controversial...... but if POW is here to make art affordable, then potentially reducing the profits of people who might want to sell their original prin in the future is of little relevance is it? Anyway, it might actually make the prices of the original print go UP in value...... and also satisfy the new demand of some old classics.... win/win?
And before anyone goes on about 'oh, but that would be cheating...they were supposed to be limited edition prints', well, I would say that there is no law against it. Records are often released in two, or more versions. Some will be limited editions, other unlimited, and some might be a slightly different version / remastered version etc. As long as they are clearly different and satisfy all the different customers, without annoying too many people, why not go for it??
As a photographer i wouldn't go back on my word to do, say, only 25 copies of a print, but I might have a slightly different negative to use for a second version, I could print it in a completely different size, or I might even go and take a new photo under different conditions and use that for a new print....

banksy front page decimated @ POW, by Honest Jon on Mar 28, 2006 17:50:46 GMT 1, Id not even consider buying a poster, im not gona agree with you on this one Martin sorry. The last thing id want to see is g/w Ballon as a poster or Pulpfiction nah, im sure there are others that feel the same. If you cant afford it then make your own stencils paint your own art im sure it would be alot more rewarding.

I could get one of my photos of banksy's graf and blow it up big?
But the graf left is limited and often fading now....
Come on banksy, sod America, get busy with the spray cans over here..... :-)

I sort of agree on the 2 you mentioned. It would look like Athena wouldn't it

Personally, I think Virgin Mary is one of his best prints .It is such a powerful image . Perhaps his next print should be as equally controversial, then perhaps it won't sell out as quickly.

Was surprised they sold out in that order. Soup Cans sold out before rats, napalm, and grin reaper?
I get the Toxic Mary thing (personally couldn't disagree more; think it's one of his greatest images), but the rest were interesting. Especially since you see 10+ rat requests on here a week, while zero soup can requests for the most part.
