Not bad looking posters for a clip frame or a bit of blue tack but that's about it for this lot!

also dont get why that penny one is nine colours. If it was a bit more funny i probably would have bought it but dont get it
its like POW have gone around cans choosing art they like when they have had a few to many cans of cider and deciding to do prints of them.
i think they are swimming against the tide a bit, trying to make cash when there is nothing better available from the bigger artists

ye,shame no big names seem to have released much through them, but is good they are showing this sort of stuff from up and coming artists, just that they dont seem to have chosen those new artists all that well recentley

im really surprised at BTOY as well, that could have been amazing and they have just shot themselves in the foot with that one.
Bring the cans image out, not some severed head on newspaper

I like the move, three new artists on board, artist ouvrier is my favourite, not sure on the digger and the Btoy is quite nice. Reasonably priced.

i like the fact that they are following up cans by including some of the lesser known artists on their site for the first time

Clicked 3 minutes ago and sold out, then there was one, now there are 12....
I actually quite like Orphelia better value than 'One man and a dog' for £100 odd quid or whatever it was..........

for new artists, POW should priced them as Banksy did way back when, under £50. c'mon!

to be fair, costs are bigger now. bollox again jboy, last kinsey release of 150 prints retailed at $30, and i loved them. try and justify where POWs extra costs are incurred. fair enought with the better known artists as their pieces will only besold on for more ayway but these "up and coming" artists should be selling prints at up and coming prices  |

Dalek, a much bigger and better artist than any of these geezers, sold a 9-colour screen print for $60USD
Mike Giant routinely sells prints for $35USD
Shepard Fairey sells prints for $45USD

Makes a nice change for the one I like to be the cheapest ;D Still not sure if I should pull the trigger "recycled paper"  Why not ? Shep does most of his on it, my Love Rat's on it, LV Child and so on, bit more recycling paper and a bit less recycling ideas is what this "scene" needs |

Sorry but, excluding the "ARTISTE OUVRIER", these are shocking. POW is going from bad to worse with every release. There are so many great artists out there and this stuff gets released at those prices? The content says nothing, they aren't even that well executed at all either.
Anyway, as I always say that's just my opinion, not trying to say what's good and what's not.
Also agree with the recycled paper, it's fine im sure!

Does 'sick' mean kind of good?
Or what we used to call 'wicked'?
