Real life/online, by saltandiron on Jan 25, 2007 11:55:14 GMT 1, Which prints (banksy or otherwise) have looked very different in real life to how they looked on the screen when it said 'add to basket'
For better or for worse?
Bought a print that you thought you'd love and then realised that it was just plain wrong? Or not bought one because you thought it look lame and now you're kicking yourself?

When I saw one of the angel bombers at fopp in Bath I thought the same.
Faile stuff (from their website) looks amazing in real life, got a lot of depth. Can't really explain it that well, they just look great.

The list is almost endless. generally i'd say it's the large ones that suffer when viewed as a tiny pic on a website. doesn't make so much difference for the rats, soup can, and some of the simple insect stuff.
I often used to go to POW for a & b, and come out with a, b, c, d, and e! Either they were good salespeople, or things looked better in the flesh

Very true
Applause looks better online though I think...
Kid Acne's are fantastic in the flesh too

Its the sheer size of it that makes it look imposing.

I thought my Angel Bomber was rubbish when I unrolled it, then when I framed it I fell in love!!
All the Micallef's I have, as mentioned above, look amazing in the flesh, esp my walk in Harajuku.
The colour of "Queen Vic" is breathtaking in the flesh... my PC screen doesn't do it justice.

the POW website, and then once i got it home i thought i had made
a big mistake. Got it framed in my bedroom now in pride of place and
it's there every morning looking at me. love it now!
Also saw Queen Victoria in the flesh at the Bankrobber
gallery in Notting Hill and fell in love with it. Nearly bought
the print off ebay the other day, but went for W-S-M instead
