Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by colinfishwick on Feb 6, 2011 16:35:19 GMT 1, nail on the head here, it's a very woman friendly image so will always be the last one out of the door when the family silver gets cashed!!
i really like it but not enough to cough up, i've downloaded the jpeg from Banksy's site with a view to putting it on a little canvas - and saved myself ยฃ4K+ in the process ;-)
BTW anyone see the signed one Andipa had when they did that Banksy show - in the print shop up the road from the gallery? was in awful condition, rippled/cockled to hell and they wanted ยฃ12K for it - which they probably got back then too!!

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by naughtyshorty on Feb 7, 2011 2:58:03 GMT 1, seems like we are all with the same woman! Craigf, my GWB came in a horrific black, thin, metal frame, with a black mount. looked awful. switched it up to a simple black box frame and white mount and it looks unreal. was even saying last night how much better it looked. Likewise, mrs naughtyshorty says the v same thing about the print being the only one she likes..
funnily enough, i was making that same point in the NBG queue. someone turned round to me and said "well u want to get another girlfriend then dont u". still makes me smile now..

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by plusvivacity on Feb 9, 2011 3:15:44 GMT 1, Anyone know the common condition of GWRB prints? I have been told with this specific print most seem to have "slight rolling marks". Anyone notice this on theirs?

When i bought mine, it had been kept in the tube for about 2 years, and yes, it does have slight rolling marks. It used to bother me, but not anymore. A local art and paper restorer who I've used before said she could easily remove the creases for about ยฃ40. Process involves floating the print on water, and drying it very slowly between acid free tissue in a press. Takes about 2 weeks in total..

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by colinfishwick on Feb 9, 2011 19:52:38 GMT 1, this thread is going to piss so many people off!! ;D
some nice frames there - keep 'em coming 
with regard to the rippling/cockling, i've seen it in varying degrees with this print but none worse than the signed one Andipa had up for sale a while back!
i'm sure it's easily fixed, restorers can do magic with paper so i'd haggle for a discount but wouldn't be overly put off by it.

Banksy โข Girl With Red Balloon Print, by Martin M on Feb 11, 2011 13:46:59 GMT 1, Now that's how to frame GWB, nice one naughtyshorty. I have recently been offered a signed one of these that I am tempted by, I went to see it and was surprised how off white the paper is, almost yellowish. Is this normal with this print or has this one just been stuck in a window. I have seen one before that i seem to remember was off white. Be interested to know some info from one of you lucky owners, thanks.

Off white = yes
Yellowish..... sounds like it could be an issue, but I'd need to see it to be able to know if its much different to mine

I also purchased the green winged version of dog face the queen by dface at the same time.Hard to believe now that the order only came to ยฃ150!!

I have a Love Rat too that i was a bit concerned about re the colour, but it's like that too.
As long as it has a COA, and the price is right, i would buy buy buy. its a beautiful print, the Mrs will like it, and it will never lose its value
