Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by tadghostal on Feb 16, 2007 1:04:56 GMT 1, When I do an image search on Google for "Grin Reaper" the print appears to have a very cool progressive shading effect that is darkest in the lower left corner of the print and lightest in the upper right corner. The coloration adds a great deal of depth and an ironic warmth to the print that I find very appealing.
But when I look at the prints that are avaiable on the bay, they do not appear to have this shading. Is it simply because the pics sellers have taken are awful, or is it because the prints *don't* have the shading effect I'm referring to?
Anybody able to field this question?

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by tomhills1 on Feb 16, 2007 13:42:10 GMT 1, i think depth is the perfect description. thereis one on ebay now, 160083781976 , looks top notch and is a good price right now. it will go for more but it has no reserve so watch it til a minute from the end, enter your maximum and hope it's good enough and no-one has time to outbid you either. my tactic everytime, if you get outbid well it's over your budget anyway - you don't have time to talk yourself into paying over the odds.
ยฃ2300 is a good price, i wouldn't pay much over ยฃ2500. good luck!!!

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by carl on May 31, 2007 11:05:33 GMT 1, No one seemed keen on it even when it first come out. I remeber at santas ghetto 05 that they were saying that it was not selling, I think it will take a while.
I stood in that ghetto looking at that print thinking ''No way, thats too much cash'' what about that monroe colourway? mmm 2k, way too much''.
I need a time machine to change that moment in the ghetto, I also need to buy a house in 1986. Anyway, sorry, back in the room. This is not a touch on what he was doing at that time. Rambling now. carl go back to desk now. Carl do work. Carl block out Santas ghetto.

Anyway, need to block out that ghetto day. '' How much is that rat sprayed onto that rock?'' ''7k! F$ck off!! I will make my own!!

"Santa's Ghetto 2005, Banksy grin reaper print
Awesome print with fine detail and a tar like printing substance. But it will set you back 400 big ones so its for the serious (and wealthier!) collector only. "
Lol. Those were the days...
