Most blatant Banksy rip off yet? , by otomi on Aug 30, 2012 19:37:16 GMT 1, gilt.com is selling 75 different Banksy images printed on canvas.
Around 60 are by Banksy.
www.gilt.com/home/sale/art81
A pretty mainstream site to do that.
It's time Pestcontrol cracks down on those things.

Most blatant Banksy rip off yet? , by jonnyx on Aug 30, 2012 22:05:26 GMT 1, the thing i worry about the most with sites like this is a well meaning family member, friend or colleague will think 'oh jonny likes all that banksy stuff and it's his birthday soon i'll get him one of these, he'll love it' and then they drop ยฃ30 or ยฃ40 quid of their hard-earned on tat that i'll hate - it's a lose/ lose situation. i've got no problem with people buying this stuff if they're fully cognisant of what it is, it's the innocent buyer i worry about. it makes me feel sad that my mum might buy me one of these and think it's a good thing.

Actually the same inventory too. Same misattributed works included as well. Weak.

Pest Control should offer a legitimate outlet for open edition prints of his work. True fans won't want to buy ripoffs of his work, but it's really their only affordable option for having a Banksy piece on their wall.

If Banksy would release a print every now and then ...
I don' get it he has plenty of good images that could be turned into prints and he could donate all the proceed.
