Cropping the paper down by 7.5 cm is madness, not only that but just looks wrong.

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by pokodogo on Jul 26, 2010 13:11:12 GMT 1, Well the Seller has confirmed that it has been cut down
A cut down, badly colour distorted print .................. and its up to nearly £500
If it was mint am i right in saying £2k ish ........ in this prints state surely it is a print not worth the paper its printed on.
Or am i missing something

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by pokodogo on Jul 26, 2010 14:14:58 GMT 1, Hi Hlarmy
Exactly my thoughts two, it is "fooked".
I was perhaps gonna bid but not at the price it is now, i will have to wait for a decent one to come up and pay the right price, if one comes up.
I see the sellers got a "flags" as well (also damaged / creased) what sort of price are they 500-600mark. ?

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by naughtyshorty on Jul 26, 2010 14:43:33 GMT 1, maybe its just my computer screen, but it actually doesnt look so bad to me.. the GWB are printed on that yellowy/off white paper anyway, so the actualy colour of the print doesnt look so bad. i even wonder if the seller has confused the "light damage" for the actual colour the print is in the first place...? also the detail and colour of the girl and the balloon also look good, so to my eyes, it doesnt looks so bad.
always annoying to get a print with the top cut off, but it does happen. doesnt hugely affect the image, but would bug the buyer for sure. without a doubt. at the end of the day though, this is one of the most loved banksy prints, and always will be, unless he does another girlfriend friendly print some time soon...! if you love the print, and dont have between 7-10k for a signed, or 3-5 for an unsigned, i reckon this is a good bargain..
and if you think cutting the top off a banksy is bad, i know of someone who back in the day stuck one up on their fridge using sellotape back in the day. easily easily done when its just a cheap print you bought for £50!!!!

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by pokodogo on Jul 26, 2010 14:55:13 GMT 1, Could it be as "Ross" says further up that the image is not UV damaged and that it could be the use of "un-acid free" materials in the mount that has distorted the colour of the print.
"i reckon this is a good bargain.." ......... im not to sure about that naughtyshorty !

Not initially, I got a bit bored, but yes I did then watch it all, hence my second post.

Banksy • Girl With Red Balloon Print, by punkjewellery on Aug 18, 2010 14:31:07 GMT 1, Hi all,I'm the creator of the necklace and video.
Thanks to Silky for linking the video and my etsy,and to Slap,I think she's bought a necklace already.
I really just wanted to make a cool looking video.
Thanks for all the positive comments.
As an update to the pendant,I've traced in vectors the words 'There IS ALWAYS HOPE' how exactly how it's written on the wall next to the balloon girl.
I then engrave it on the back of the girl,it's comes out so small,that you need a magnifying glass to read it,but it's there.

Just a thought here - In my opinion it would look even better if you were able to use a smaller gauge chain to connect the the balloon to her hand. (again, just my $.02!)
Great video!
