This work originally appeared on the side of a building in Los Angeles in 2002.
When the work began to crumble, concerned patrons moved the wall to New York then Italy for repair.
This is a famous example of going through great efforts to preserve graffiti.
This piece of Banksy Rat art features a rat giving a look of exasperation and annoyance. He is holding a paintbrush and appears to have just written the words: “I’m out of bed and dressed - what more do you want?”

The "wood" frame is particle board and really just a step up from cardboard at that. The frame feels very cheap and I am very cautious when handling the artwork because I feel like it could be easily broken.
The canvas is decent and seems durable enough. The print seems acceptable -- although, the image isn't sharp and appears soft/slightly-blurred when viewed closely (6 ft or closer). The image doesn't stretch around the sides of the canvas and makes it look like a cheap print. The canvas also has a slight amount of slack and ripple to it. It isn't enough to cause me to return it and can only be viewed with a glare from lighting over it, but is definitely noticeable.
It was packaged well and came undamaged. The corners were reinforced with cardboard and styrofoam, and the whole canvas was sealed in plastic. The box was also marked with the Wall26 name. The item was shipped fast (2 days to CO) with standard shipping.
I probably won't buy again but would recommend to others for cheap wall art -- however, I would caution them about my experience, and encourage them to shop some more and compare.
