trolly anomoly, by verbalkint on Dec 12, 2007 4:03:43 GMT 1, i have been looking at another forum members pictures of his trollys colour print and this one on ebay 250196906438
im sorry, but those signatures look incredibly dodgy to me. I really love the colour trollys print and was willing to shed ยฃ1500 on one if i could get one for that, but i honestly think that signature is about as real as my chance of riding keeley hazell. Seriously guys, look at it. If that signature showed up on ebay on a, say, bombhugger print it would be laughed off of the forum. If banksy has been involved in an accident and smashed all his fingers then i can understand it, but that signature is nothing, and i mean NOTHING like the great mans.
forget about the whole they wouldnt, its fraud and all that jazz, just look at the writing and ask yourself if you believe its banksys. If i buy one im going to send it off to a handwriting expert, they can tell if its real or not. and i have no doubt that POW would forge a signature if they were put in a position where banksy is out in palestine, is suppost to come back to sign them but decides to fuck off on holiday for another few months. They probably think that as long as they are all consistant, no one will notice.
Banksys signature is free flowing and edgy, like a tag. They are not always 100% identical but you can spot it a mile away, these signatures are cramped and look as if they were written slowly. It is all wrong, im telling you

Its a fairly tricky one... I don't think it is beyond anyone's imagination to believe that an artist such as Banksy could change his signature for a release, either artistically or handwriting-wise, so I think analysis of this is fairly futile.
Where I think the trouble occurs is in the recognition of it as a "signed" print... so long as it is accepted as a signed print and this is confirmed by the production company, which obviously it is, then there is no worry really. Clearly if Banksy himself suddenly 'bout-faced and announced he had nothing to do with them then POW would be looking at having quite a case to answer but meanwhile we all have to accept it.
There is a long record of this kind of thing occurring throughout art history and generally it is accepted so long as the work is from the artist's "company" (I'm sure there is a better word for it than that, but its late and I really should sleep!)... look at the Hirst spin art and pretty much anything by Warhol, I read Van Gogh changed his sign regularly...
I call shotgun by the way.

Great example is Micallef, I've seen two maybe three different signatures on his prints

Your correct about Micallef it is absolutely incredible the difference in his signature from one release to the next. Completely different. I have three pieces and not one remotely the same. I even got so worried (even though two were directly from source) I approached POW and they said that he changed it all the time.

trolly anomoly, by rolyateel on Dec 12, 2007 9:19:07 GMT 1, you have to remember that when an artist "signs" something...it's not like it's the same as his signiature would be on a cheque...they're basically using a 2nd signiature, so they may change it, or basically forget how to do it exactly the same each time
As mentioned above, look at AM's on his early prints, and compare to JD or GIWTBB...they don't look like they're written by the same person
I'm sure musicians are the same...or anyone else "famous"
Just look at Paul Smith's signiature on his clothes...that isn't his real "signiature"
Can understand your concerns, but if you buy it from source you should be fine

trolly anomoly, by lesbianwednesdays on Dec 12, 2007 10:41:28 GMT 1, i've neither the time or the inclination but if you source a picture of a signed RC or LIITA you will see the S is very round. by the time you get to the rats and GWB the whole sig is tall and elongated pencil strokes. my grin reaper had a small but neat angular sig and by the time it came to morons and now trolleys, it looks more like the tag on the flag and morons prints.
there is always some variation within a run but more so with banksy there has been a distinct change in style year on year, have a good look at examples from each and every year and compare and contrast.
i'm no graphologist and i don't have my trolley yet but i for one will be losing no sleep as far as this goes, he signed it end of.

I'm sure he signed them and thought "I bet those turds on the forums are gonna throw a fit over it and make a big deal out of nothing."

trolly anomoly, by trowel on Dec 12, 2007 14:23:53 GMT 1, Although I'm a little sceptical, my conclusion is that it's so different that it must be genuine.
I think the key here is that if someone were faking Banksy's sig they would have tried to make it look similar to his previous examples.
If you were trying to fake it, you certainly wouldn't come up with something so different as we have on the Trollies; you'd be a bl00dy idiot!! ;D

Not sure if I have 7, but certainly have vaguely different ones for different things, depends on the situation...
1. full free flowing (you know, the one you practiced at school)
2. initials only (half arsed version of no. 1)
3. tight arse little space to get it into
4. (being left handed) slightly screwed up one because the rings in a binder are digging into the back of my hand
5. desperate to keep it inside the box on cc, passport application etc, so no flourishes!
I may even have some more I don't know about... its kinda time and place thing, don't know until you need it.
Having to remember how to do each one consistently given that I don't want a second thought about it being accepted means they all have to be one I am happy with, if you see what I mean, so are all different.

Maybe he only signs them and doesnt number them... whereas the others are signed AND numbered by the artist? Thats why it just says signed? Think it would be wildly misleading for them to put signed and for it to not be signed by the artist, it is inferred.
Maybe he meets with Laz and signs them then... the prints don't have to stay in one place do they?
Don't wanna be an ass about it, but if you arent happy then stick to the unsigned, leave the others to the rest of us!

trolly anomoly, by verbalkint on Dec 12, 2007 21:40:19 GMT 1, of course banksy will have different signatures, but all of the others are in the same 'style'. No matter how you change your writing it can be identified as yours, im just saying that the look of the signature is completely different. And not only that, but the prints were not ready until just now, so they were not signed with the 150 edition. But then again that is probably why they were late to go out as banksy was in bethlehem when they were finished and they had to wait for his return. and im sure that you might vary your signature on a mammouth signing session too, just to try and stop yourself going mental
lets see what the next release looks like, he probably signed them in the same session. I didnt mean to piss anyone off with this, but the fact remains that if a golf sale came up with this signature on it you wouldnt touch it with a barge pole and that is a fact

Maybe he did change his style to save his sanity because 750 is a lot of prints, but there's no doubt in my mind it's Banksy's. As has been mentioned you only have to look on his site for reassurance.

trolly anomoly, by loucastel on Dec 12, 2007 21:48:35 GMT 1, thats very wierd... but quite right. all of the other artists have "signed and numbered by the artist" none of banksys do. commodity. Maybe he only signs them and doesnt number them... whereas the others are signed AND numbered by the artist? Thats why it just says signed? Think it would be wildly misleading for them to put signed and for it to not be signed by the artist, it is inferred. Maybe he meets with Laz and signs them then... the prints don't have to stay in one place do they? Don't wanna be an ass about it, but if you arent happy then stick to the unsigned, leave the others to the rest of us!

I personaly dont care wether they are signed or unsinged or if they were signed by banksys aunties, friends cat. and all the releases on the ghetto just say signed by the artist nothing about signed and numbered. I thought this thread was about discussing the signing issue, I suggest if it upsets you then dont read it. |

Surely if you love the image and you are not a flipper then you dont care???
If it transpires that he didn't sign them it'll be a story to tell
I cant wait for mine... I love the image its going on my wall, who gives a rats ass bout the quality of the signature?
Oh btw love the whole conspiracy shit though...LOL

No matter how you change your writing it can be identified as yours, im just saying that the look of the signature is completely different. And not only that, but the prints were not ready until just now, so they were not signed with the 150 edition. But then again that is probably why they were late to go out as banksy was in bethlehem when they were finished and they had to wait for his return. and im sure that you might vary your signature on a mammouth signing session too, just to try and stop yourself going mental lets see what the next release looks like, he probably signed them in the same session. I didnt mean to piss anyone off with this, but the fact remains that if a golf sale came up with this signature on it you wouldnt touch it with a barge pole and that is a fact
"all of the others are in the same 'style'"
Not true, his signatures on his pre 2002 works are totally different to his normal recognised style.
