Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by telecine on Jul 17, 2013 16:18:32 GMT 1, The print quality looks terrible, expecially when you compare it to what is one of, if not the best printing on a Banksy print. Really?, up-load a picture of your original so we can compare 
Sorry 'JuicyLucy'. Have to agree ... Detail isn't a patch on original ..
Other 'WCP' prints have been much much better .
Stil for a few quid , you get what you pay for !

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by andyroo0312 on Jul 17, 2013 16:35:19 GMT 1, I guess its no different to buying a knock off Omega or a set of fake Louis Vuitton luggage made in Sichuan provence. What sits well with one does not for another, but i can gaurantee none of them will fit well with your partner.

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by juicylucy on Jul 17, 2013 16:57:42 GMT 1, Can someone up-laod a picture then of their/or a original, i have looked at the ones that are in the print section and they look the same,as the WCP. What would make the original better than the reproduction, if they are both screen printed by hand, using the same inks and the same paper, a-part from a little detail i am guessing it would very close?
Does anyone on here have an original?

Whatever floats peoples boats i suppose, i was kinda semi tempted with a moss when it came out, but the thought of paying for a frame for it put me off, if they were ยฃ50 framed I would have gone for it

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by Deleted on Jul 17, 2013 22:41:41 GMT 1, Can't understand why some get their knickers in such a twist over this.ย If I like this print & want to buy it to hang on my wall, what has it got to do with anyone else?ย So what if other people want to judge me for hanging this, if I like it that's all that matters. If that is really how you feel, why do you bother to post about it? It makes Banksy's art available at an affordable price for those who want to enjoy it & not use it as some kind of status symbol to 'impress' others with. No, it makes a reproduction of Banksy's art available. There is a difference.
The image is the same. The thought behind the image is the same. The message in the image is the same.
There is NO difference at all.

Sorry, I guess understanding the difference between an artwork and a reproduction is a bit much to ask of someone who is unable to identify an artist even when that artist's name is clearly stated in the image under discussion.
Love this image, who's it by shootagain? Ludo

Hey wind your neck in mate. Do you get a kick out of being a complete tw*t on here? Why would you even bother to mention something that isn't even about the wcp prints we're talking about in this thread?
I'm sorry you feel so strongly about it but acting like a little baby because someone else has a difference of opinion shows you up to be just a bit of an idiot doesn't it.
Grow up or don't bother posting anymore.

It is quite relevant since it is indicative of your lack of attention to detail. This might partly explain why you think that there is no difference between an artwork and a reproduction.

It looks to me like you are the one who is feeling (a bit too) strongly about this. The fact that you need to resort to calling me a "complete t**t", "a little baby", and "an idiot" says a lot about your actual regard for difference of opinion as well as your ability to have a proper discussion.

I stand by my statements. Looking on your profile at your previous posts I can see that its YOU who has a complete lack of regard for anyone else's opinion. I do wonder if you're one of Deputy Dawgs alias accounts as your behaviour and pompous attitude is frighteningly similar.
Now maybe you should look over this thread again and look at who it was who decided to start getting personal.
Now go trolling somewhere else.

Maybe you should've invested some of your hard-earned profits from the earlier releases on buying an original one so you could get an accurate reproduction. |

I agree. Mr Gunningham would be laughing his head off if he was reading this.
The whole point of his street art was that its available for everyone to enjoy. Sadly Pelle clearly wants his Banksy pictures to be status symbols on his walls to impress people and hates to think of identical prints being available for ยฃ55 on EBay !!
Thank god not everyone has his attitude.

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by Dr Plip on Jul 18, 2013 12:09:19 GMT 1, Banksy has been quite clear on this in the past. Statements taken from Banksy's website, shop section:
2011:
"You're welcome to download whatever you wish from this (his) site for personal use. However, making your own art or merchandise and passing it off as โofficialโ or authentic Banksy artwork is bad and very wrong.
Banksy neither produces or profits from the sale of greeting cards, mugs or photo canvases of his work. He is not represented by any of the commercial galleries that sell his paintings second hand and cannot be found on facebook/twitter/myspace etc."
2010:
"*Products not actually included, serving suggestion only. All images are made
available to download for personal
amusement only, thanks.
Banksy does not endorse or profit from
the sale of greeting cards, mugs, tshirts,
photo canvases etc. Banksy is not on Facebook, Myspace, Twitter or Gaydar.
Banksy is not represented by any form
of commercial art gallery.
Banksy does not do commissions and has never been given the keys to Kate Moss's house to paint her kitchen."
2008/9:
"Everything in the shop is free, simply download the file and process the artwork. Please note:
This shop is for personal amusement only. Please don't use it to start a business. Thanks."
2007:
"Everything in the shop is free. All the images can be downloaded to print or use as a desktop.
Serving suggestion:
Prints look best when done on gloss paper using the company printer ink when everyone else is at lunch. "
On a side note, for anyone new to Banksy, I heartily recommend using this internet time machine to check out his official website and how it's changed over the years.

These are not bought by people who 'love the image'.
They are bought by people who want something on the wall that LOOKS LIKE THE REAL DEAL.
Therefore its just as much of a status symbol.
Its like buying a fake rolex and wearing it out so people will look at it and think you have a real rolex. I'm sure if someone asks you straight out, you might say 'its a fake' but if people look at it and think its real you don't say 'are you checking out my rolex? its fake, just so you know, i just love the look of a rolex'.
If its 'all about the image' pay 10 quid and get it on canvas, then you don't also have framing costs.
Admit it to yourself, stop the lies.
Get real!
These are not bought by people who 'love the image'.
They are bought by people who want something on the wall that LOOKS LIKE THE REAL DEAL.
Therefore its just as much of a status symbol.
Its like buying a fake rolex and wearing it out so people will look at it and think you have a real rolex. I'm sure if someone asks you straight out, you might say 'its a fake' but if people look at it and think its real you don't say 'are you checking out my rolex? its fake, just so you know, i just love the look of a rolex'.
If its 'all about the image' pay 10 quid and get it on canvas, then you don't also have framing costs.
Admit it to yourself, stop the lies.

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by Deleted on Jul 18, 2013 12:18:39 GMT 1, I bought a KATE, purely as i know i could never afford the real deal and im not mates with Banksy,
I didnt purchase for a status symbol, most the people who visit me have no idea its even a copy of Banksy , they have no interest in Art realy so most my stuff i rarely am asked the artist ,
not that i am defending WCP but atleast they are a screen print , and in my opinion differnt to those printed canvases.
Do what ya like,
Talk for yourself
Form your own opinions
DO what you like

Everyone else spend your ยฃ56 on something that has some real value and quality..

That sums it up nicely,, A fake is a fake, and as confuses said, only fakes buy fakes unless you happen to be a fake.. |

The knicker wetting about these is always hilarious.
Some folk really need to get over it.
Its a bit of wall decoration. Thats it.
Better than keeping some print in a folder under the bed year after year.
Utterly pointless.
Also I have a framed WCP Turf War. The qaulity is excellent, and its exactly the same as the original Laz is trying to punt for ยฃ12k.
Frankly if you have ยฃ12k to spend on such rubbish then you really need to check out some other artists.

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by andyroo0312 on Jul 18, 2013 16:43:59 GMT 1, I love wet knickers.. does it make any difference if its a fake Banksy, Van Gogh or Prefab77? arts beauty is in the eye of the beholder but one thing remains constant and that is a fake is a fake.. The topic would make a great debate hosted by richard and judy tho..

Banksy Grin Reaper Print, by pelle on Jul 18, 2013 17:09:51 GMT 1, Kiss and make up guys,,, Banksy wouldnt want this I agree. Mr Gunningham would be laughing his head off if he was reading this. The whole point of his street art was that its available for everyone to enjoy. Sadly Pelle clearly wants his Banksy pictures to be status symbols on his walls to impress people and hates to think of identical prints being available for ยฃ55 on EBay !! Thank god not everyone has his attitude.
Your ability to determine what people collect and display on their walls, as well as their underlying motivation for doing so, is truly astounding.
However, there are a few problems with your analysis:
Firstly, you state that the whole point of Banksy's street art is that it should be available for everyone to enjoy. Very true (although I would not say that it is the whole point).
However, I would argue that his prints as well as his other studio output is not street art, but rather commercial art products which were intended to be exclusive. That is why the editions are limited. To be clear, I am neither condemning, nor condoning, this exclusivity which separates street and studio work. I am merely pointing it out.
Secondly, since I have no Banksy prints on my wall the motivation of ego rubbing which you attribute to me is simply not there.
Thirdly, I did not say that I had a problem with people buying and displaying reproduction prints. I have also not commented on the quality of the reproductions being sold. I could not possibly do so, as I have only seen them on the screen.
What I have said is that there is a difference between artworks and reproductions of artworks. This really is a truism. If the artworks and the reproductions were the same, the latter would not be selling for ยฃ56 on eBay. The difference between an artwork and a reproduction does not only come down to issues like the printing method, ink, paper, and the precision in reproducing the original image, but also less tangible things.
