Banksy • Napalm Print, by mmmike on Dec 13, 2011 0:46:53 GMT 1, Oh man. You guys are helping and not helping all at the same time! Napalm to me is a bit more "brilliant". Just so crazy smart and politically strong. But like I said, Nola has been creeping up on me. What do you think I should have to expect to pay for each of these signed these days? By the way, I thought Nola was supposed to be a statement about New Orleans and the lack of help to shelter people during an intense time of need? Somebody mentioned acid rain and global warming? Thanks!
I have A NOLA and love Napalm. Why don't you just buy an unsigned Napalm and a NOLA? Or just look for both and which ever one you get a deal on first go for it. I don't think either are too easy to find these days unless you have a huge bank role in which case you should buy both.
For me NOLA is a stand out, one of if not Banksy's best. But they are both great IMO.

Similar to what gorkie posted.
What is the message in Napalm? I'm not being an arse, I'm just being honest about this, sorry to sound like I've missed the boat--but I guess I have. War being fueled by corporate America? Corporate America having no regard for humanity?

And I am an American by the way. But the message is very powerful IMO.

Banksy • Napalm Print, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 13, 2011 4:22:41 GMT 1, i think Napalm also shows the ambivalence through the spectrum of the US society. Mick & Rmc are worlwide symbols for childhood, hope, happiness (and whatever characteristics associated with childhood) which is almost manichean with the use of the original image which shows a young frightened girl running away in tears after a Napalm gas attack (by the US) during the Vietnam War. IMO it's deeper than just the corporate greed, it shows how a country or civilization can bring out the biggest images for youth & happinness while on the other end atrociously destroy it. (The use of Napalm has been banned by the United Nations)

By the way, I thought Nola was supposed to be a statement about New Orleans and the lack of help to shelter people during an intense time of need? Somebody mentioned acid rain and global warming? Thanks! Did someone mention acid? 
NAPALM all the way..... You can buy mine if you want?
As for the party above, what a night that was. 89 was a great year!!

Napalm all the way for me!!!

MrsM has allowed me to hang 'ours' in the Living Room - not sure I'd be putting up the Napalm, though, even if was lucky enough to acquire one.
A personal choice that you'll have to manage, whatever message you read into them.

i think that adds a dimension to it that doesn't quite hit you in the face like napalm.

Almost nonsensical to post this, but does the orientation of the work matter at all? if you had a specific place in mind this may make a difference...
Lets face it, either way you're getting a cracking piece, best of luck deciding...

Banksy • Napalm Print, by Hubble Bubble on Dec 13, 2011 13:21:08 GMT 1, ^^ that's the idea I think.
I love looking at my Nola... only really realised the other day that the rain doesn't come down inside the brolly but to the rear of it and she's stepping through into a new beginning. Fabulous piece IMHO but totally different from Napalm.

Nola is top of my list (besides barcode) at present - as soon as i have the means i want one above my fire place!
