You wouldn't put down money like that as an investment, that's not why it was purchased. It was bought out of love for the art. It was this person who initially brought the artist to my attention and probably why I am a printmaker today

Tbh, I think it looks rather amateur and a bit banal.
That is not at all meant to be a dig at Banksy. Iโm an artist myself, and usually when I look at my work from decades ago (like this), Iโm usually pretty embarrassed by my subpar technique, attention to detail, and use of color theory. And I think that we can all agree that his work has become more advanced in technique and quality since 1998
In any case, I donโt Banksy is as much of an insecure perfectionist as I am, haha.

Early Banksy Art, by saint on Oct 7, 2020 16:31:26 GMT 1, The original Gangster rat was quite different to the slightly later print edition (the one people use to make a stencil and do fakes from without research or being honest about painting it themselves). This is from 2004 and was from an edition of 25. I have limited knowledge of the edition but I've seen the exclamation mark in black also.
