Banksy Show, Barely Legal in LA, by lesroy on Apr 30, 2007 19:40:47 GMT 1, is barry white? is marvin gaye?
My second favourite all time quote after Romanwag's
"Smug t**t! Bet you have a cupboard full of ping pong balls too! "
This board is definately more about the humour than the art for me!!
Genious lads!!

Am I being thick? , by lesroy on Oct 10, 2006 19:46:09 GMT 1, Damn right... lets Campaign to keep it in Blighty atleast but London ideally!!
As I have never been to Santa's Ghetto, whats the format? It's announced and then people just randomly turn up? or it's for the "IN" crowd for the first night and Joe Bloggs thereafter?
Are prints actually cheaper or are there just special ones available that you couldn't find before?

4k soup cans sold out!, by lesroy on Aug 30, 2006 22:59:31 GMT 1, I have the same thought...
I cannot decide on a Happy Chopper (Signed) for £2400 or a New Soup can for £3500...? Im sure these will only go up and then make me be able to afford more Banksy (although I love the Happy Choppers too much to sell).

RE: get your baksy's out etc..........., by lesroy on Apr 16, 2007 18:32:30 GMT 1, Ello ello... Cheers Tom... Sainthood sounds just fine to me!
Silky and Bacardi you better pull your fingers out and get on the case
Just a thought, but I reckon that the "get your Banksy" threads should still be on the "general" forum but stickied.. alongside the "Gallery"....
Its this General forum that gets all the traffic and I think more peple will see them on here...
Just my 2p worth guys ;0)

Would you buy prints for their TRUE values?, by lesroy on Apr 28, 2007 9:24:23 GMT 1, We have discussed an aspect of this here a few times. However, I have a query for you all.
We all know POW sell us art at cheap prices. That is what they are there for, bringing afforbale, quality art to us for good prices.
With particular artists, Micallef, Faile, Banksy etc... these prices are open to abuse (as we all know). POW & the Artists are not thick but it is their wish to stick to their moto... for this I am very greatful! I would ever have the small collection I have now without them!
However my discussion is:
Micallef - Judgement Day £600 Banksy - Morons - £440 Banksy - Applause - £550 I have bought these prints from ebay over the last 6 months and have paid the "market value" because I really wanted them.
1) Would you all prefer to pay "market rate" for a print straight from the Gallery (POW) with all the proper provenance etc
2) Or would you prefer to take your chance with the mad rush and then end up paying a bagger to have the print you want, registered in someone else's name etc?
-------------------------------------------------
Obviously my thoughts would be, that I would prefer to buy straight from POW at the discounted prices we see today, however, I wonder if this will change if more and more of us miss out to people who want to make profits and have to buy from them?
------------------------------------------------
This is just an open discussion and a place for a few thoughts. The last time I posted something referring to "baggers" I received about 25 negative points from, I would assume, the "baggers".
It'd be nice to discuss this without the same shit happeninig again

Original Banksy Sold for £55.. Please bring back.., by lesroy on Jan 24, 2007 21:26:34 GMT 1, I have to admit, I reckon it went to soomeone who is not that big of a Banksy fan.
The reason i say this is, we would probably all have thought it was a fake for £55, especially if we had never seen the work before.
I personally would have thought, £55 for a fake repro canvas.,.. fuck that I can get them on eBay cheaper....
... that's the scary thing about art. A few drops of paint on a canvas... is it worth £10 or £10,000 ?? If it was priced at £10,000 then it would make very different people interested in it compared to the £10 one

Got it Framed.... Pricey!!, by lesroy on Jul 18, 2006 8:59:06 GMT 1, I have a few of mine framed & they cost a lot more than £80, so it sounds good to me and I think you will find it well worth it in the long run. Can you mail me the details of the framer??
www.mfframes.co.uk/
They are based in Ipswich where I live. I rang around 5 local framers and these were the most knowledgeable and friendly.
The old boy that completed the work said...
man: "So tell me about this Blakey then"... me: "Sorry, tell you about who?" man: "Blakey, What do you know about him?" me: "Arrr you mean Banksy!"
So I preceeded to tell about the myth!

Got it Framed.... Pricey!!, by lesroy on Jul 16, 2006 11:44:48 GMT 1,
Just popped my Jack & jill into the framers. Im goiong from a matt black aluminium frame.
The print is being kept away from the glass by an acid free spacer and will have some acid free card behind it with a PH Neutral backing.
Wham bam, thank you mam.... £80!
How does that sound to you lot?
The guy seemed very knowledgeable but 80 sheets is alot of dough and Im not sure i'd go to that extent on the smaller less expensive Cauty's, Eelus etc?

Matt Small - Advice please :), by lesroy on Apr 22, 2007 22:11:57 GMT 1, Evening all,
Ive been toying with the idea of getting a Matt Small print over the past month of so.
I like the Terry & Saul ones but have never seen either in the flesh.
Can anyone post high Res pics of either of these for me please?
Also, why is Terry Giclee and Saul is 19 Colour Screen Print? Is one print "inferior" to the other?
What are good prices for these two?
Are they great in person or are they a bit of a let down, eg, need to be originals to get the "effect" of the paint blobs?
Thankyou sooo much for any help!

STILL LOOKING..., by lesroy on Oct 5, 2006 19:14:38 GMT 1, My take is closer to Nu & Silky.
Why should I spend double just to get get Banksy's signature in pencil? I'd want a signature in tattoo on my cock for an extra thousand squid!
I honestly would buy signed if the difference was £150 over £75 but I stand by the fact that I buy the work for the image / message first... and would probably ever look at the signature again. Also the fact that they are all from the same limited run gives the unsigned stuff sooo much value.

**THE GREAT BANKSY GIVEAWAY!!**, by lesroy on Apr 5, 2007 8:38:51 GMT 1, I cannot find the post but here is a story from December for you this year...
Art shop in London selling allsorts of art work... on one of the walls, on display, was an original Banksy canvas, one of the ones with stars in a semi circle (i think).
Anyway, this had been a gift to the shop owner from Banksy himself. So during the Christmas rush, the store was full of Christmas Temporary staff when a bloke (not Lesroy ) strolled in and said to the new member of staff (allegedly )....
"Hello mate, how much is that small canvas?"
"Oh, that one, that's £155 Sir"
"Excellent, seems very reasonable... I'll take it"
Owner comes back to find his pride and joy £35k canvas and Banksy Original GONE!
(never mind, atleast he's still officially £155 up) j/k

The Most Underrated Banksy Print?, by lesroy on Jan 4, 2007 22:59:36 GMT 1, For me the most unde rated is the Flying Copper... It's an amazing print, true Banksy and a central theme in a few of his pieces.
For me it doesnt do as well as it could becuase of the size and the cost people associate with framing it!
I love it
