My mum wants Grannies...., by dmandpenfold on Oct 31, 2007 12:21:39 GMT 1, ....for christmas, however i don't intend to fork out a grand for her christmas present or pull my prized possession off the wall 
The only way around this that i see is to buy her one of the many repro canvases or prints as she doesnt care who banksy is, just likes the image (you could say she is therefore by definition a true afficionado of art)
Has anyone had anything to do with the repro prints or can recommend a good place to pick one up at a reasonable price?
...and while we are at it has anyone else got any mum related art high jinx stories to tell, could be an interesting thread.. ;D

My mum wants Grannies...., by absyrd on Oct 31, 2007 12:37:32 GMT 1, My mom stole my J&J from my wall about 2 weeks ago now so that I wouldn't trade it for a Faile (nuts to me for giving her a key). She has it over her fireplace now and has been warned that she had better not light it up or she'll never hear from me again.
She also bought a Guy Denning and an Ian Francis recently.

My mum wants Grannies...., by Strange Al on Oct 31, 2007 12:37:35 GMT 1, My parents have a Banksy Grannies on the wall at their home, which I bought for them. My mum was very much part of the punk scene in the 70s-80s and just happens to be an artist. Couldn't really have found a print more apt.
I'm very much of the opinion that Grannies will become one of the most desirable Banksy prints in the long term. I've said it before, but when we're all old, wrinkled and grey (I know some of us already are ) and we're thoroughly bored of looking at flying coppers and happy choppers, you'll glance up at the Grannies print still on your wall and a big smile will slowly cross your face. "Oh those halcyon Banksy days - punks not dead!"

My mum wants Grannies...., by 7eny on Oct 31, 2007 13:42:02 GMT 1, My Dad bought a Grin Reaper a couple of years ago for less that £300 and hung it over the dining room table, since then my folks have been chucking out all their old picutres and replacing them with all kinds of funky stuff, he'd like a Worthless rat at the moment

Is your Dad called Bongo? LOL
Some of you guys have got very trendy mums. Mine thinks all my POW prints are awful! (Which is good actually, because if she liked them, that would be cause for concern!!!)

My mum wants Grannies...., by 8anksy on Oct 31, 2007 14:40:53 GMT 1, My mum bought a Micallef GIWTTBB - and had it framed up in a huge gold frame to match the mirrors in the lounge, it does actually look amazing! next time i'm round there I'll get a picture.
I've offered her my Judgement day - but she's not interested, she's holding out for a 21st century love, as she says, it reminds her of all the various fads i've been through,
disney, MTV, playstations, Burger King, gucci, etc etc
Not a bad art taste - for someone's who's pushing 53
