You shouldnt post on the forum if you cant handle the negative comments that go with it. Not everyone is going to like it, so go and get your provenance, if it has the history to go with it, hang it up on your wall, happy days. Case closed Dicy as an artist, you should post more also - you can contribute quite a bit more to this forum, especially as you are old skool

banksy grenade original, by dicy700 on Sept 8, 2008 20:06:07 GMT 1, alsbabar, i hear you.....but, i find these forums incredibly frustrating, when you have people posting comments that are grossly uninformed and just up for a row!
my life tends to be pretty hectic, not allowing time to sit online for hours every week. maybe i'll try a bit harder!.................
cheers for the props zippy!!

banksy grenade original, by nacional on Sept 8, 2008 20:44:31 GMT 1, As a piece of art history it is excellent, but as a piece of art in itself it just doesn't have legs. I must say it again, Fake's granades are better....

banksy grenade original, by daz205 on Sept 8, 2008 20:55:53 GMT 1, dunno if it was the only chance of owning an original banksy and pesty control confirm it as that then if it was in my price range i would buy it,
having said that though if there was another banksy original going for a similar price then i may chose image over history

banksy grenade original, by nickodey on Dec 22, 2008 21:47:37 GMT 1, this piece is definitely fake. it should be the same stencil if it was legit. notice how the clip on the grenade is not attached to the stencil (left belt hook and right clip arm). that grenade should have already exploded! 
this piece is definitely fake. it should be the same stencil if it was legit. notice how the clip on the grenade is not attached to the stencil (left belt hook and right clip arm). that grenade should have already exploded! If anyone is interested I took the advice from forum members, contacted PC and it may have taken over 4 months but today I revieved my COA for my My grenade. Maybe some of the Banksy experts on here don`t know quite as much as they think they do. |

banksy grenade original, by Heavyconsumer on Dec 22, 2008 22:26:54 GMT 1, As CG says, it's interesting to see how artists' styles develop/evolve over time. I was at the Picasso museum in Malaga a few years back and I have to say, a lot of his earlier works were ridiculously unattractive (to me at least). The sort of thing that if I found it, I'd look for the neartest bin, so that demonstrates how much I know about what's "good!" I'm sure any one of those sketches would sell for more than our home!;D
I'm not really into the grenade pieces personally, but congrat's on the pick-up Nick (you must be thrilled to own a Banksy OG). I hope you're pleased with it and most of all, enjoy it. I also hope it's worth shitloads more than whatever you paid for it!

It may be real JBOY but I still think it looks just as crap as when we all thought it was snide, but that's just my opinion.
Anyroad good luck to what's his name in taking the plunge and sell it b4 it becomes worth less than the COA!

you have a real piece of Banksy history.
You were stupid to listen to opinions on here - but at least you listened to one or two bits of advice.
Truly delighted for you that it worked out and I hope you get great pleasure from looking at it.

will you reveal the price you paid?
this thread is forum history I think!! reread it and enjoy.. maybe someone should make a film about it, it even has a happy end..

Considering just how much gets thrown away in the early stages of an artists career you are very lucky, does make you wonder how much was thrown away when his sister said words to the effect of ' it's not as if you are going to famous and in a museum'
Hope it stays in the family for generations if you are able to do that
