Art Wanted, by Wisconinla on Jan 28, 2018 21:39:33 GMT 1, These seem like pretty nice reproductions. Hand pulled screen prints right? And at a decent price. There are a couple Banksy works that Iโd like to hang, and Iโll never be able to afford the real thing, so itโs nice that this alternative is available.
Banksyโs teams knows that WCP is making them and isnโt bothered by it.

Art Wanted, by Jaylove on Jan 28, 2018 23:34:13 GMT 1, I feel like those who are worked up about this are owners of original Banksy prints, or those affiliated with Banksy or Banksy himself.
I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would get so worked up over copies that are CLEARLY marked Copy on the print. The individual selling them clearly states they are not real. There is a marking on the back of the print that states it is not real. What exactly is the problem?
The difference between copies of Gucci handbags, rare Nike Jordans, Supreme etc is they are being passed off as real. I don't view WCP as bootleggers.
Just my opinion. Think the rage comes from a $ perspective.

Not from me it doesnt
i just don't understand why people would buy them
why would you want these say over a banksy canvas for the same money
Do people frame the WCP ones? How much does that cost
or do they go in a portfolio?
Why not get a canvas that doesn't need framing

No it comes from someone commercially profiting from someone elseโs creative talent. By stealing their images. By buying into it, you are promoting the activity.

Also so are you saying that in order to have a Banksy image on my wall I have to shell out the cost of a BMW? That is ludicrous.
To me bootlegging is about deception. Thereโre is no deception here.

They are, imo, an affordable copy for people who like the image, but simply can not afford the real thing.

We all buy art, we all want it to go up in value ( why wouldn't you?) and then we will sell it for a profit once or if it gets to a certain price. We make money off the backs of someone else's work. We are Parasites too.

I wouldnโt want that, I want it to look like the Banksy itโs meant to look like. And having a stamp (or signature/whatever else) on the front ruins the whole point.

Haha, yeah, I get what youโre saying. I guess Iโd just want it to look as authentic as possible; after all, it is for me. Iโm not concerned with whether it looks like Iโm trying to fool other people.
But Iโm also not planning on pretending itโs authentic or selling it down the road (either as the repro it is or as a scam).
