    I saw this gallery on sunday that has a print from the same run as one I have so I asked about the price - £20,000 they told me. His first screen print.

    Not a bad increase eh, considering I paid about £60 a few years ago.

    What sort of a monkey would pay 20k? They're having a turkish.

    And all you wankers coming out of the woodwork recently with 'blek le rat blek le rat' can quite frankly fuck off, you only just heard that name two months ago now that he's jumping back on the wagon and getting the PR out there, so don't come all knowing and higher than thou. The whole of Paris and France in general were all over this in the 80s, who gives a fuck. Banksy is just more pub art. It's pretty funny, it's not that well drawn. But it's out there on the street and he's made a success of it, sure he's a bit of a cunt and there's certainly better stuff going on, and more interesting stuff going on but if all these urban professionals with their trendy wives want to spend their money on thinking they 'know what's up' then let them spunk their cash where they want.

    print from Banksy's first print run for £20k anyone?
