'We all know that they are not Vsnksy prints' ... not everyone knows and if it can be highlighted that there are some unscrupulous people who pass off wcp as banksy's, esp when framed, then that is doing everyone a favour even wcp ... who offer an alternative and as you say (and others) clearly stamp their prints as wcp ...
Hips "! Yes i Washington and i cant sleep now

WCP The West Country Prince, by Deleted on Aug 6, 2016 11:39:12 GMT 1, I am brand new to UAA. A little collector based on Dubai, U.A.E.
The other day I was reading a post about an offering of WCP or BanksyCopy so I thought they were different editions on the most popular subjects.
I learn after that Pest Control has nothing to do with WCP or BanksyCopy, these are unlicensed re-productions, they are not authentic Banksy prints.
Only prints issued by Pictures on Walls, accompanied by a Pest Control Certificate of Authenticity are authentic Banksy prints.
So what is WCP - BanksyCopy?

WCP The West Country Prince, by Baby Dave on Aug 6, 2016 13:37:36 GMT 1, WCP is a person/group of people called West Country Prince
They produce replicas of Banksy prints. They are meant to be very good copies and are billed as using the same printing techniques, same paper and same magic fairies as what Banksy used.
They are marked up as copies on the reverse. There are usually heated conversations about the benefits of getting a WCP or another copy. If you search through the forum you will find them.
Get what you like and don't be guided by others opinions. Form your own and spend your money as you see fit.
Enjoy the forum and welcome!

WCP The West Country Prince, by Deleted on Aug 6, 2016 13:50:55 GMT 1, Is it right to steal someone elses art and re sell it for a lower price because some people think that altho not authorised by Banksy that who knows maybe banksy is OK with it cos he wants all his fans to be able to get a cheap version of his screenprints so they don't feel left out.
WCP should state publicly whether these fakes or copies or whatver are done with authorisation from Banksy or Pest Contol etc or not.
Plus it's up to the forum owner to ask for proof from WCP that these copies are done with permission from Banksy.
If WCP provides proof then thats good.
If WCP provides no proof then why should they be allowed to sell fakes on here considering all the posts about not allowing fakes etc on this forum.

WCP The West Country Prince, by Baby Dave on Aug 6, 2016 15:11:00 GMT 1, See above for examples of heated debate.
My post wasn't intended to stir up feelings, I was just trying to answer the ops post.
I doubt WCP has any sort of permission from Banksy or PC. As for the quality, I'm no expert, hence not given a direct judgement of it.
I still think people should buy what they like, WCP or any other art.

So it's not ok to sell a decent copy of someone's work, when the artist clearly don't care about their images being used, but it's ok to sell their original work for over 350 times the cost price when the artist has spoken against it? Also people always preach that it's all about the image and not about the investment, if this is the case then WCP and the like should be greeted with open arms. After all regardless of how you get a Banksy print these days, Banksy himself is not gonna benefit from the sale. At least WCP is an honest criminal.

WCP The West Country Prince, by Deleted on Aug 6, 2016 17:32:25 GMT 1, So in a short cut they are similar Sunday B. Morning and/or Bluegrass edition in respect to Andy Warhol but in this case they are not authorized by Banksy.

Sunday B morning was employed by Warhol for his silkscreen prints with good color codes...The serigraphs of the Factory were of poor quality (no machine, everything was done by hand).
The black pads are original editions, the blue pads are unofficial editions.
Warhol gave color codes its serigraphies then asked a Belgian company to stop the diffusison but too late.
Marylin by sunday b morning with black pads on the back is in the catalog raisonnรฉ of Warhol.
Bluegrass is not using the correct color codes.
Banksy never asked to WPC to work for him

WCP The West Country Prince, by Deleted on Aug 6, 2016 20:45:56 GMT 1, The WCP have nothing to do with banksy nothing. They are cheap naff and shit. The WCP are getting away with saying they are the same as the real deal but they are not they are not even close. All buyers of this worthless crap are being cheated. They are not the same ink colours paper and have no detail like the real deal. They get away with this because 99% of buyer can not compare the cheap shit next to the real ones.

The other ones you need to be told about are by the croydon crew who did Queen Vic Toxic Mary Napalm Monkey Queen BUT they are same as the WCP fake. They have more detail but are still the wrong paper colours ink. The croydon crew was the first bash before it they became WCP.

If WCP has contacted Banky management or Banksy and asked for permission to make and sell copies of Banksy's screenprints and Banksy does not reply. Not replying is not giving permission.
Normally people wait for confirmation before using other peoples art.
It's the same for music and writing etc. Bootleg CD's and DVD's being sold for a quid etc.
Who exactly is benefitting from the sales of WCP Banksy copies?
If Banksy sold some screenprints a few years ago for fifty quid each and the person who bought them re sells them today for fifty thousand quid. Thats all legitimate. Of course it's also one reason WCP is selling copies of these screen prints because of the thousands they sell for today.
"Sunday B Morning โ Marilyn Portfolio (10)
In 1970, these original silkscreens were reproduced to create a new series of Marilyn screenprints in ten new color variations. These were named โSunday B Morningโ prints. These prints are recognized as authentic reproductions inAndy Warholโs catalogue raisonne, with some of them being signed by Warhol himself using the phrase: โthis is not me. Andy Warhol.โ In 1985, a third series was produced with a stamped signature and these became known as theEuropean Artistโs Proof Editions".

At least WCP is an honest criminal. Dont he get droi de suite on prints when you buy it from auktions? And isn't it about respect for a great artist just as much as the money? I bet you can get a pretty decent oil copy of just about any artwork made for you. You could decorate your home with a mona lisa, that old guy doesn't benefit from you buying the original either.
The talk about fakes is always hard, cause the once that cant afford the real deal (in watches, art, furniture and so on) will always find some strange way to justify their buy and hold on to that, and every one else will always think they are idiots

Banksy could if he wanted too, put out some open editions Fairey style and if he chose to do that I would then be totally against buying copies. He seemingly has no interest in doing this, so I don't think it should be considered dirty or taboo to own a WCP.

So, if an artist choose to have limited editions it makes copies ok but if the artist makes unlimited artworks then its not ok? Sorry but just because some cant afford a Banksy (including me) it doesn't make it ok to purchase and hang a fake.
But then im from the wrist watch world where fakes is a clear mark of ignorance and stupidity, better a cheap real watch than a fake rolex/PP but perhaps artworks are seen on with other eyes even thou I dont understand why it would.

WCP The West Country Prince, by J0NNY on Aug 8, 2016 14:47:38 GMT 1, I would never buy a fake watch. Bit of a different ballgame though for obvious reasons. If Banksy cared at all wouldn't he copyright his images. Just because someone who has got their children's future invested in a bit of paper and are scared that having readily available clearly marked copies on the market might somehow have an effect on the desirability of Said art, will not stop me from having an image on my wall that I like, and is in no way illegal or immoral. If you were an artist would you prefer to see copies of your images on a wall being enjoyed, or your hard work sitting in a flat file, only to come out when the owner feels it has made him enough money?

WCP The West Country Prince, by Daniel Silk on Aug 8, 2016 15:00:05 GMT 1, When you go on eBay and search Banksy you will find probably 90% of the stuff is unofficial/fake, you walk down your local high street and you will find shops also selling fake Banksy canvases and gifts. The whole market is flooded with fake Banksy pieces, so if people want gunuine! They need to do their research and buy from reputable sellers, but of course when it's genuine Banksy it's gonna cost much more. Ya pay ya money, you take ya choice.

Great to see the comparison, guess it boils down to whether someone thinks the WCP quality is worth ยฃ50 or whatever they sell for to have an image they like. If they did a no ball games one I would probably buy one as it is one of the few banksy's my wife likes!!! And she really wouldn't care less if it was ยฃ19k cheaper than the real thing, in fact I think she would be rather pleased to know that!!!

And she really wouldn't care less if it was ยฃ19k cheaper than the real thing, in fact I think she would be rather pleased to know that!!!

WCP The West Country Prince, by The West Country Prince on Aug 24, 2016 20:13:07 GMT 1, New and old mugs be aware the WCP scum also make prints that are not stamp marked or numbered so the back is left plain. The other ones you need to be told about are by the croydon crew who did Queen Vic Toxic Mary Napalm Monkey Queen BUT they are same as the WCP fake. They have more detail but are still the wrong paper colours ink. The croydon crew was the first bash before it they became WCP. Really - i think you will find WCP do not mark or sell any prints that are not marked COPY even though some people (more than likely yourself) has asked us to sell them without the COPY stamp.
These are sold as reproductions and they are on the same paper as the originals were and they are screen printed by hand and same inks and size
As for the Croydon crew - i have no idea what you are talking about as we come from the west country

Why not just google a picture and print it? Its even cheaper and probably you will get a better resolution. Dont forget to stamp "Copy" on the back to make legit

WCP The West Country Prince, by The West Country Prince on Aug 25, 2016 11:39:59 GMT 1, How does someone get ripped off? Last time I looked these were less than ยฃ100 and looked like reasonable copies. I don't think people are buying them thinking they are legit?! So people are assessing if ยฃ100 is worth the money for an image they can no longer afford. Fakes on the bay must be much worse in terms of being passed of as legit and getting ripped off A fake WCP White print (Framed was sold on eBay for around ยฃ11,000 a few months ago. Fake sig. Really i dont think so as who in their right mind would buy a framed print claiming to be an original - how did the seller get a COA - this is b******T

WCP The West Country Prince, by The West Country Prince on Aug 25, 2016 11:43:08 GMT 1, I think it's good that we have a active thread on here about the West Country Prince so as many people as possible can read it and understand the situation, including other people's views. The more well known that they are not genuine Banksy Prints, the less likely anyone will get fooled. For me it's a childish thread without any issue about gossips ! We all know that they are not Vsnksy prints, it's clearly indicated in the announce, if some buyers then try to send it as a Banksy would mean that all the buyers are blind or stupid ! Stop this, this is a non sense, only supposition and phantasm. When I bought my first country print , I didn't know this forum at all, it was clearly said that it was only good copies of Banlsy prints , so I bought one for fun, yes for fun. I don't care about Banksy prints too : most of you not because you only think about money, speculation, value Rtc .., I prefer Banjsy activism , tenners , walls, jokes, Botti etc .. than the prints. So, you have no proofs that this famous invisible buyer of a 10000 quidsfir print bought it really And we are talking about rubbish. The only interfestin thing in This WCP ( not ) affair, is that package for shipping are really great and surely costs more than the print itself in time, professionalism and savoir-faire ! As said Fr , we have to be nuts - anyway this debate is for schoolboys And for the air - to buy a 10k print without anymore details ?! Impossible, you are a joke ! If you think the shipping costs more then the production of the print then go and ask a screen printer, to, lets say, give you a qoute on a 4 colour hand pulled print - each colour costs money, so the more colors the more money - then buy the correct paper and then pay for the artwork to be made up then pay for that to be put on the screen - costs a lot more than ยฃ9.50 for post
