I have just ordered the prints below. They are 12 inches by 24. Not sure if I will get them mounted into a single frame or individually yet.

Most (there's not that many) are now in storage and tbh aren't overly special - I've seen some done directly onto faux walls and then well framed and had provenance which made them really cool.
The monkey's below are 100% officially NOT by Banksy - I even have a certificate to prove it
They are really well done though. The Heavy Weaponry (elephant) was my first original and hopefully will be a keeper. The Girl With Balloon and Grin Reaper are both special to me and although not originals per se they are quite hard to get hold of now.
That HW is lovely, I currently thinking of trading my a few of my signed prints in for a original, don't fancy a swap do you? The monkey's below are 100% officially NOT by Banksy - I even have a certificate to prove it

Quite a few signed prints needed these days - have you seen the latest original prices? I still regret passing up a few at £25k each, which seemed extortion at the time!Edited by z4RRSchris99 on Friday 9th January 18:04

The silhouette of the Heffalump (Heavy Weaponry)There are some of mine. I had the pleasure of sharing my life with a woman who had a passion for mixing science and art. The art below was produced from the results of her day research (molecular neuroscience focusing on cancer and Alzheimer's) then printed by her and then made personal with mixed media. some paintings are dual images...The paint has ground glass added to it, so at night you have the pleasure of seeing an entirely different painting.
There are some that are for fun as well, such as this one,

And this is Pasty and Eddie, a sculpture that mixes x and y, genetics and the lottery of cancer. the hour glass contains four colour balls A, T, C and G and a few black balls. It spins and the heads are hollow at the neck end and empty and fill as the hour glass turns. The heads have small lights in the top caps, so at night they glow blue and pale red. I've always been rather fond of this.

They're all fantastic! Right up my street, I wish you could buy stuff like this. There are some that are for fun as well, such as this one,

Got this Tim Layzell print for Christmas, got it framed and up on the wall today, absolutely love it! Would like another at some point, but that's my second automotive print and I doubt the girlfriend will allow anymore!
Like your style, here's mine I put up last month. You can see it hiding behind the flowers
think mines #144 but not sure of the top of my head as I'm not at home. Hence the poor photo. Some of his prints are wonderful, the originals are way too much! I also don't think the other half will allow any more either!
