The skull looks nothing like the Banksy style

just a guess but the original comment was humour and then a string of people got over excited and misinterpreted

Nice looking folio and POW logo free print! Looks like it was a good night.

The Crack image was for sale during the print show at the High Roller Society a few months ago along with a few other Insect one offs or APs.

Interesting.The guy at POW said the print images would'nt appear anywhere else.Do you have a pick of the HR print ?

Just had a look through my photos of that show and can't spot the crack print amongst them..........

Fair play, I must of missed it out of my photos....there was about 200 prints hung up in my defence

Nice, I likey, interesting that it's a hand coloured digital print rather than a screen print. Wonder how many English beer tokens it went for?

[Deleted]

its a sweet folio, its a very very good price at £450 - price works out at approx. £112 per print (4 x with matching numbers) - with lots of free goodies, a signed book(ish) - and a unique handsprayed stencil paperbag to boot.

the "bleeding eyes" and the lizard guy (which are both the same size as the crack piece) were priced up at £225

[Agent Provocateur]

Cheers eastonpromise, pretty reasonable if the 'Crack' 1of1 was the same price.

[nex]

so more than one artist has done a very similar version of the Pow logo - that's confusing and a little odd - I'm guessing Banksy's would be the original?

[bullet]

not to mention a rip off of this which was done way before POW started

[Agent Provocateur]

I think they get a new artist to paint their logo every now and then nex. I remember the Insect and Eine versions, Sickboy's is the latest one. But as you say Banksy may well have been the first.

[Agent Provocateur]

I think Blackbeard got there first Freerange ;D

true... true...

The first record of the skull-and-crossbones design is found in a December 6, 1687 entry in a log book held by the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The entry describes pirates using the flag, not on a ship but on land


Good ole wiki...

Or those pesky pirates

Having seen the Insect portfolio today, they are definitely better in the flesh. For what you get the price is probably not bad, but it's decent money. The very nicest bits, the box and the sprayed stencil bag, make sure you get those.

My favorite, the set of POW busines cards.

[fingerz]

i want some POW busines cards.

You sure do.. they are the nutz.

I was looking to see if i could quickly find any, but no..

Have you seen them?

[fielder]

I think it's way overpriced. You can get the 'zines separately for £30. The stickers are cool but would never get used. The prints are not very exciting imo (quite like the fly one), all in a cardboard box with a nice cover. £450! Really? Might change my mind if I saw it in the flesh but I doubt it.

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, I mean I'm a Big Insect fan but this isn't really doing it for me

I like the fly image, but the rest dunt really look like its up to his high standards

£450 for Insect box set
£250 for Sickboy box set

I know what I would go for

The Sickboy book is beautiful, I thoroughly recommend it.

It comes in a wooden box doesn't it? and the Insect one is cardboard? You get a proper Sickboy book, and Insects is a photozine? and its £200 more

[love]

Here 're my photos:

[jonnyx]

"the sprayed stencil bag, make sure you get those"

there's one on ebay £69 + £6 p+p - so 75 quid for a carrier bag. jesus.

[duncan]

Bargain, sure to go up in value, a great investment, blue chip, would look good in a frame preferably a box frame, has it got "Emperors New Clothes" on it anywhere?.

Thanks Saint, I completely forgot I posted in this thread and having been away for the weekend havn't had time to reply!

Heres a pic of it in the print show (taken from High Rollers flickr).

Its towards the bottom left...

[eastonpromise]

And one from HR's Facebook page that matches my photos/memory of the show



Didn't think I was cracking up!

maybe it was added after opening night then?

[shower]

Yeah it must have been. I popped in about a week after it opened I think and some prints had certainly moved. The Mo's and Sweet Toof's in the rack near the stairs were no longer there. Maybe some were added or just moved around.
