If it is in new york then I image all the prints would be sold out before POW would get the chance to put them online,yeah?
So unless we've got the odd god knows how much money to spend on a flight to New York theres no chance in picking up a new print. Correct?

When I brought my Micallef they told me they will be limited to two per person, anyone told trying to buy more in anyway will be banned from using POW.

But saying that, if they release them in NY first there would still be enough people there for them to be gobbled up.

Just have to wait and see i guess.

it's one per person (of each print) through POW

am hoping for a web based purchase. no having the cashto fly to LA...or NY makes me a second class Banksy buyer

I'm guessing it'll be online... eventually. The frustrating part is knowing when it'll be available. During the LA show, only about 1/5 of each available print was sold, and till today there is no word on when the remaining 4/5 will be made available. In fact, less than 100 of each print was sold in LA. I know because I snuck a peek at the list the lady at the counter was checking off. They said that 100 of each print was sold, but on the second day when they stopped selling prints, I only counted 80-90 checks.

Although, does anyone think the remaining prints from the LA show will be the ones on sale at Santa's Ghetto? December is so close to Banksy's LA show in September... is there even enough time to produce new prints?

Let's not also forget that Santa's Ghetto is hardly a Banksy-only event, and should be considered if you're pondering whether or not to fly over the pond. Personally, I'm looking forward to new works from several other artists.

how come Thugs knows so much and where's the other side!

i was told by a very reliable source that it will be in NY. Maybe they were throwing me off the scent!

Egg on my face?!

They can come to LA and hold it in my apartment ;D

(I can dream, can't I?)

And yeah, where is the other side? And who is Thugs? (Please pardon my ignorance!)

Thanks for the clarification, Foundation

I agree that it would be good if Santa's Ghetto didn't happen this year, 'cos everything's truly overheated at the moment. With all the recent publicity that Banksy got in the US, Santa's Ghetto would be simply ghastly. But then again, the Ghetto isn't a Banksy-only show - there's plenty other artists involved, and to call it off because of Banksy just doesn't seem right.

I almost feel like saying "Hallelujah!" when you say that.

Martin, I know I'm new here and you're in the know more than most but I was just going on what POW told me. There's endless debates on here about what will happen, has no-one else thought about just asking them??

Unless it's all just a plot!! ;D

Have you suggested Stavanger yet?

Ha ha, good call, but wouldn't recommend Stavanger in late November/Dec to anyone other than Santa himself

quite a few of us do buy prints from POW and do have a chat with them etc.

It seems like so long ago (it wasn't actually, 3 months or so) but one reason they totally revamped their website was so they could have a 'live' ordering system - i.e. it won't let a customer order once it is sold out. It solved the problem of too many copies being 'sold' (e.g. over night when no-one was in the office to put the 'sold out' sign up). The idea was also that they can limit the amount of copies you can buy of certain products. As an example you might notice that you can currently buy 5 Faile mermaid prints, but only 2 of Eine's monster.....

They seem very busy at the moment so don't want to hassle them with loads of questions, but a fair assumption would be that any banksy prints would strictly limited per customer!

I agree with that, far too much work, keep it in London ;D
