BOMBHUGGER PRINTS, by matbat on Oct 3, 2007 22:24:34 GMT 1, Hi, Im pleased to say ive just purchased a bombhugger print unsigned. I have been after one of these since i turned down an orignal canvas around 2000. It doesnt have a receipt but im sure it is genuine. Is there anything i should be aware of on collection other than -
Size - 700 x 500
Paper colour seems offish white
Banksy tagged in the lower right corner
numbered in the lower right corner
Should the numbering be in pencil?
what shade is the pink (ie bright or muted?)
thanks in advance.

Congratulations.
This area of the forum has sections showing photos of forum members framed Bombhugger's (for comparison), and all of the print details you need like size etc etc.

BOMBHUGGER PRINTS, by matbat on Oct 3, 2007 23:29:57 GMT 1, thanks man. Im quite familiar with the individual print info pages. I just wondered if anyone had any additional help. Like ive also noticed that the white fill for the girl looks brighter/whiter than the paper border white.
thanks anyway,

BOMBHUGGER PRINTS, by danvnuk on Oct 3, 2007 23:33:26 GMT 1, LOL - sorry -
I've got this print myself - the white fill is whiter than the paper - that's correct.
Paper is offish white - check
Banksy tag lower right corner - check
Numbered - lower right corner check
In Pencil, yep.
Hard to say if the pink is bright or muted, I'd say it's quite bright - it's certainly striking,

BOMBHUGGER PRINTS, by danvnuk on Oct 3, 2007 23:38:20 GMT 1, y'know what - correction - now you mention it - Ive been standing there studying mine, and the white fill looks like the same texture as the outside edge - but seems lighter - I wonder if it's just because it's surrounded by black ink and looks lighter in comparison.

BOMBHUGGER PRINTS, by Ågent ßacardi on Oct 4, 2007 5:17:36 GMT 1, Yeah yeah yeah, quit showin' off! ;D
I paid a bit over £1200 for an unsigned one earlier this year. Haven't been back on eBay ever since (still recovering from that purchase, 9 months later!!)
But it's definitely my favorite Banksy. Very classic. Congrats, matbat! ;D

BOMBHUGGER PRINTS, by jonpud on Oct 4, 2007 11:09:19 GMT 1, Here's mine, need to look at it in the flesh to see if the infill is whiter or not, looks it in the photo. Strange thing is, everyone is concerned about buying a fake (And rightly so) But has anyone on here actually bought a 'fake' Banksy, are they out there? I realize there are fake signatures, some of them more obvious than others, but are there any actual fake screenprints!?

Yes to all of the above. So... don't worry! 
(Either that, or we've both been duped  )
Nahhhh! ;D
