I agree 100%. Heretical as it may be to say, I'd much rather have a FF or JD print than that canvas. Can't say I'd want the image on my wall at all.

if i remember correctly, that is a pretty early piece.
it reinforces one of the 'rules', early isn't quality, quality is quality....i've seen many print buyers focus on early this or early that, when in the long run it is the strength of the image that matters.......

Micallef original canvas on the Bay, by weeble on Jun 27, 2007 7:31:18 GMT 1, not sure about it myself either, looks like something Antony did in college to me!!  but i guess early works are pretty valuable regardless ofthe quality once the artist gets to a certain point in their career.

Micallef original canvas on the Bay, by simongoff on Jun 27, 2007 9:59:12 GMT 1, He did indeed buy a while back for around £5 but regardless of the value, in my opinion its just not a great image, as someone said before, i would much rather have FF (Which I do) or 12 Century Love

Micallef original canvas on the Bay, by neutral on Jun 27, 2007 10:21:33 GMT 1, I dont get it, obviously the person who bought it wanted to flip the image for a big profit as it appeared on ebay not long after his purchase.
What was he thinking!!!!
Not a great example I must said, still better than all the gun and weaponery subject tho. Only teasing !

Micallef original canvas on the Bay, by biggayal on Jun 27, 2007 12:39:22 GMT 1, I have to disagree with most people, as I actually quite like it 
especailly more than JD or FF  of which I personally don't like at all........
We can't all have the same tastes after all.......but as for BIN @ £17.5K, I'll think I may have to pass

Saying that, with AM's prices increasing as they are, it'll be a bargain in a years time....

Why is the title "defintately misleading"? The listing says its "charcoal and gouache". Gouche is paint. Does that make you "definitely ignorant."?
Welcome to the forums! Maybe you didn't notice, but the user agreement is pretty clear that insulting other members isn't really appreciated. So, try not to be a such a jackass, would you?
In many people's minds "Original Painting" would imply a work on canvas, not on paper. "Misleading" is an opinion, and opinions by definition are valid--because its biggayal's opinion.
You've made 5 posts so far, three of them on this thread, and none of them are constructive, useful, or even polite. Now go sit in the corner until you're ready to play nice.

Micallef original canvas on the Bay, by romanywg on Jun 27, 2007 22:49:38 GMT 1, I think lightbulbs is more than likely the seller. I made an offer for £1500 earlier today, as one is allowed to do, nothing wrong with that, and the reply from the vendor was ....quote "Don't be a c**t!' Similar to this guys language.

Ha! Do you even know where you are?!
This is a Banksy forum, and mcnuts avatar is a Banksy canvas titled "Self Portrait," one which quite a few people feel is among his best.

Since then there have been no takers at the prices he's asking and it's been listed a number of times, each time a few grand less than the last.

...and rightly so, because it's pretty crap.

Just for clarity, could you point me in the direction of bit in the user agreement which states members are allowed to post things that aren't true. Cos I've looked really hard and I can't find it. Biggayal has accused someone of lying. And I don't think that's very nice. Or true. Perhaps he could join me in the naughty corner. Also where's the rule which says that original paintings have to be on canvas. Cos I can't find that one either.
Sorry if I offended lightbulbs - although, I did retract my comment on the lying - I just though the title was a little misleading IMO. I'll come and hold your hand in the naughty corner if you want company

He donated no less than THREE pieces from his personal collection to my charity auction a while ago and got Charming Baker to donate a piece as well. I've exchanged emails with him on a number of occasions and he is a top guy.

With a name like Big Al I don't think you should be offering to hold peoples hands in the naughty corner; it smacks of something rather seedy ;D

Micallef original canvas on the Bay, by verbalkint on Jun 28, 2007 15:53:23 GMT 1, This micallef is not to my taste, but i hope the seller gets a fortune for it. He is a good bloke who gives generously to others, he deserves a good result. nothing wrong with making a profit, after all, he bought this from the secondary market himself.
If any one of you managed to get 2 signed trolley hunters tomorrow at 3pm by getting a work mate to buy one too, you wouldnt come on here offering it for face value, you would probably use it to fund another banksy or piece of art you love. Thats the great thing about prints, they enable you to afford pieces you could never have bought for straight up cash. Most people i know use the money from selling art to buy more art, and that is a good thing, keeps the market booming. Someone who got a signed barcode for £150 a few years ago can sell it and get an original neate, and in 5 years could sell that and probably get a house!! A house for £150! its not that far fetched is it?
take it easy

Micallef original canvas on the Bay, by romanywg on Jun 28, 2007 16:02:18 GMT 1, I think the thing is with this auction, that has been up and down a few times now, is it is obviously overpriced so why not just put it up with a low starting price and see what it is actually worth. I'm sure the vendor would still make a four figure profit.

but i guess early works are pretty valuable regardless ofthe quality once the artist gets to a certain point in their career.
