Micallef Or Banksy, by bigwilly on Dec 11, 2008 9:11:36 GMT 1, If given a choice of the 3 prints to choose from the lottery, which one would you pick? and why? Discuss
I would go with the Micallef Bethlehem personally because it's a mixture of so many different artists, Banksy, Bast, etc. Plus I hear that this print is huge....Thoughts?
Which will be worth more down the road? Will there be a ton of these on ebay? Or is that just a dream because of the 150 run? Thanks and Peace
how do you use the poll option when you start a thread?

Micallef Or Banksy, by robinbanks on Dec 11, 2008 10:58:38 GMT 1, There's a Banksy on the top right of the wall if you look closely. Not sure about Bast. The Insect is pretty obvious though and I'm sure there must be a few others.

Micallef Or Banksy, by Happy Shopper on Dec 11, 2008 11:30:00 GMT 1, I'd choose Banksy. Such an original and interesting image. Shame the print is a bit small, but still one of his best.
I like Micallef, although don't own anything by him, but his older stuff is better than either of these new 2. They just look like they were made for PoW (especially Bethlehem, obviously).

Yes. Look over your left shoulder, I'm the guy with the...
No, seriously, I assumed the guy was refering to the different artist's works from the wall that had been incorporated into the image.
I agree with you that I don't see any of their actual artistic styles influencing in Mic's work - more Bacon than Banksy if you ask me.
Nice of you and your mate to put your print's back in the hat - just hope they end up in the right hands.
And I'm well - thanks for asking. Hope you are also

Micallef Or Banksy, by Existencil on Dec 11, 2008 11:54:33 GMT 1, It's got to be the Mics. Other than the LAZ releases last year, he's never failed to hit the spot. Banksy, on the other hand, has knocked out some weak images over the past year and a bit.

Micallef Or Banksy, by robinbanks on Dec 11, 2008 12:09:50 GMT 1, Personally I think "Very Little Helps" is one of Banksy's strongest print's in recent times - loads better than Applause, Grannies, Morons and quite a few others.
I just wish it was a wee bit bigger

Which of Banksy's recent images do you find to be weak?

Couldn't disagree more strongly! The two latest Banksy prints are awesome. I guess before these your argument would have been more valid. All IMO of course.
Can you tell it's Banksy for me every time. I love the humour! Mic prints are a bit dark for my walls!

Micallef Or Banksy, by Existencil on Dec 11, 2008 12:18:44 GMT 1, I think Nola and Stop and Search are quite weak images. I think Trolleys and Very Little Helps are fantastic. Banksy has so many great iconic pieces that haven't been translated to print. I love Micallef's skill. GIWTBB was absolutely stunning and the recent prints are knock-out. His work is on another level entirely - and he's just at the beginning.

Micallef Or Banksy, by Existencil on Dec 11, 2008 13:15:41 GMT 1, I think so. It didn't really feel like it had the usual edge that Banksy prints have. It was a nice, pleasant image - but this isn't what people want from the man. IMO.

S&S is a strong image but I don't personally think too much of Nola. I also think that the quality of the print and the finished product is 'mediocre'. I'm a perfectist so there are a few things about both prints that annoy me. I hope the VLH is as perfect as some of the older prints as the last two have been a slight disappointment for me. Anyone care to agree

Micallef Or Banksy, by Existencil on Dec 11, 2008 13:53:52 GMT 1, I think this is why VLH is such an exciting release - because it signals a return to form. I would have liked to have seen some photographic images from the Petstore released as prints.

Micallef Or Banksy, by thetruth55 on Dec 11, 2008 16:14:24 GMT 1, "Very Little Helps" will always be more sought-after, because regardless of the image, it is a Banksy and will hold its value down the road. End of story. Period.
Micallef's "Bethlehem" might be a stronger image, but should be available at cost on eBay shortly.

Micallef Or Banksy, by Martin Whatson on Dec 11, 2008 16:39:02 GMT 1, I would go for the Betlehem I think!
A print with a Tesco bag wouldnt do much for me in Norway! Thats the reason why I sold my Dolk - Burger king too!
I realise the Betlehem print is not that international either, but its a conflict we all know about! I dont care much about a supermarketchain unknown here up North!! 
Also my grandfather foght for the UN in Gaza 35 years ago and as the best man Ive ever known I know he would support the right side in that conflict! So this piece would have meant quite alot to me!
Well, I can live without it too!

Micallef Or Banksy, by s2dh on Dec 12, 2008 5:06:31 GMT 1, Banksy is quality - i think everyone agree's.
I cannot say i was too impressed by the pieces at POW..
Nola is ok, but the "VLH" - kids saluting a Tesco bag on a pole - Hmmm....
If you see the real piece that is on the wall it proves to be very clever and very cool (what with the use of the drainpipe etc..) - but the print not so good....
Micallef's Bethlehem has the emotion that makes the piece special if you know the issues in Palestine etc... (The piece has something about it that trumps most prints on the day)
Lucky for me i managed to win the chance in the raffle to purchase one...
