You have to remember that the reason why prints like 'I Fought The Law' & 'Napalm' haven't sold out yet is because there are far more numbered copies available. J&J and CND are both numbered editions of 350, where as Napalm & Law are either 500 or 600 copies. People are always far more interested in signed prints by any artist as historically they are worth between 3 & 5 times more than numbered prints. Signed prints have the artists writing on them and are therefore more personal, a lot of the time the artist will not have even numbered the prints himself and so a numbered print does not have that personal touch.

what a load of guff though. a little signature is meanless in my book. it's the print and the message / art that matters.

Also, banksy's sign is poor and in pencil. At least 3d's makes the print come alive. thick black pen. that's the way to do it
