Banksy Envy!!!!, by jonpud on Mar 14, 2008 10:41:52 GMT 1, Short story!!
Yesterday I decided that it was time to change the look of the walls in my flat, so sadly the Jamie Reid Pretty Vacant is coming down for a while  but, it is going to be replaced with Nick Walker's London Morning After! 
Anyway, off I went to my local framers in Peterborough, tube under arm! I have a good relationship with the owner, he cuts me some good deals (Should hope so considering this is the 35th print of mine to be framed!), we always chat about Banksy etc,etc.
I unrolled the MA in all its glory, the owner loved it (for a change, he ain't really a street art fan, but is still interested in the scene!) He then said, 'come take a look at these'
Just framed and ready for collection, a SIGNED 'HAND' and a SIGNED 'QV'
They looked fucking stunning! Banksy Envy had struck, and it wasn't because the HAND was longer than my Morning After!!!! ;D
Incidently, the Hand was numbered less than 4!
Very lucky owner! Just thought I would share it with you!

Banksy Envy!!!!, by tenhairytoes on Mar 14, 2008 10:51:35 GMT 1, I know that Envy, I was in Somerset last month and walked into a room of originals and some BIG ones as well. Envy hit, big time envy but more than that I felt gutted that I had the chance to buy most of these pieces a few years back. THEN I saw a stencil on card and realized I have this very some piece in my barn..... RESULT. Off to my parents farm in a few weeks to find it, just hope they have not had a clear out.

I live about 7 miles outside of town (not going to be more specific for obvious reasons :-)) Sounds like you have a wicked collections I have a few other bits and bobs.
Good to see there are other collectors in P'boro (Quite surprised to be honest.)
I'm afraid I can't part with them!!

Banksy Envy!!!!, by crazyarsemother on Mar 27, 2008 10:31:01 GMT 1, Do you think that there is an obsession on here with owning pieces? I don't feel destressed that I don't own a Jackson Pollock or Jasper Johns painting. Is it because most of us had the chance and we are more gutted that we didn't take it? Like when you go round mates really nice house who bought when you just left uni and you thought he was nuts.
