Once the screens set up they cost less than a fiver each to produce. 100 quid is about right for a screen print, could do it for 30 and still turn a profit.

Does that include man hours for the printer, admin and all the other shit that goes with printing a banksy print these days?!

Santa's Ghetto 2006, by Curley on Dec 19, 2006 16:57:40 GMT 1, A few of us have monochrome...but not many! This was my first post I think in this thread " this is a really nice print. I wasn't expecting much when I heard it was going to be ยฃ100, but the quality of the print and the strength of the image are outstanding." I think it's perhaps one of, if not thee, strongest image he's ever created. Out of all his Canvas works he's produced it's the one that can stand it's own next to some of the 20th century greats. It comes from a long tradition of a proud underclass fighting the ruling classes, this isn't just a contemporary Americana image, but a truly relevant piece that slots into art history. The stars and stripes is now one of the most recognised images in the world. The flag belongs to us all now, so in that sense it becomes more than a parochial image of defiance against Bush etc. It symbolises the strength of humanity over 'systems'. A truly astonishing piece of work IMO, and one that i'd gladly travel the length and breadth of the world to see in a museum at some point, let alone own a print of it. I think it will become a defining image for our generation. His prints may have taken a step down since his early stencil pieces, but his 'art' has definitely taken a step up. We should be proud that we own a piece of this guys work because long after the hype and print nonsense has died down, there'll be a body of work for generations to look upon and study and appreciate and in some cases, marvel about. Peace and happy xmas ! ;D
Well said that man. ;D
However probably lost on half this site, cos they only care what its worth rather than what it says. 
Respect is due

This is a war of attrition and the weak are falling off. Its a bit like the 'Touch the truck' competitions... Anybody else fight the urge to check the status during the night after the news it could be released at any time?

It could be, but I think it'll still be during the day, and dare I say it, the morning.

Nah!  I'm keepin an eye out during the day but if it goes on at night I'm gonna miss it
I should think if it went on during UK night time, the Americans & Australians will have it cleaned up by morning

Agreeed. But I too think it will be British working hours (would someone from PoW really go into the office that late to fire things up and make sure the sysetm doesnt asplode? Also, they must be a bit bias towards the Uk (I'd like to think that at least)

yeah i think with the first release using their new servers/software they'll want make sure it all goes smoothly so a 9-5 GMT release looks likey, then if it all works ok we might see some more random times to help out the guys from the US and Oz.
