nothing beats making an informed purchase, cuz that's long term true love.
buying based on gut alone feels like a cheap one night stand...
thanks everyone!

6-8 months ago he had an 8x10 aluminum piece on his site for $1000.00, not sure if they are made in editions but I would assume so as I have seen a couple of the same pieces in different shows.
The piece was "I like having stuff"

I've always felt it slightly wrong not to display art of this nature as "my kids might not like it". More often than not it's the adults fear and understanding of the work, rather than the childs interpretation that creates the problem. Children rarely look at art in the same way, and certainly with the Queen Vic piece would failt to understnad it as an adult does. I personally think it is good to expose your kids to art of this nature, it enriches their lives rather than makes them worse
ooh you fucking liberal. she's ten. and with other banksy, eine, kauffman, pieces in her bedroom she's getting enough enrichment.

Touched a nerve have I! As for being a f**king liberal, how would you know?
And your thoughts on children seeing art & how parents interpretation colours this?
Think about the Queen Vic, it's your take on this that makes you feel uncomfortable with a chld looking, almost all children see it as a funny picture of a woman sat on someone else, nothing sexual, nothing sinister, no more no less. They think it's OK, if not a slightly funny image (which I imagine is what Banksy meant by this).

Only found out about ESPO recently due to discussion on the lightside but like his work alot. Decent price too. Unfortunately can't afford one at this present moment really. Hopefully secondary market prices will stay similar...

how would i know? you have typed out your liberal views for me to see. have you been conducting some secret market research with the children of the UK and banksys queen vic? got the feeling you might not even have children of your own or if you have they are still very young. children need to experience a childhood. there's plenty of time for everything else as they get older. when my daughter is older i'll be able to explain why this image exists and why banksy did it in the first place. the innocence of youth doesnt last long and it should be cherished. as for touching a nerve dont flatter yourself. my nerves have been desensitised over years of alcohol and drug abuse. its going to take a lot more than that to get me going.

and the choice of colours and type is pure genius.
FYI - the SOLD OUT has disappeared from the cream version, perhaps some might be popping back ?
