CHECK OUT POW! New Christmas releases! , by urbanhangings on Dec 20, 2012 11:32:24 GMT 1, Works on the street. Doesn't work as a print. At all. Explain to us then how an image on a wall that makes no interplay with the wall nor has any conceptual connection to the location works "on the street?" If anything it works better as a print so that the public doesn't have to be forced to look at it. (What wrong with the simple beauty of decaying architecture?) Anyway, how many more times do we have to see some ironic juxtaposition of some old world image with some contemporary pop culture reference? It's so tired. I thinks it looks better on the street because i wouldnt want to stare at it everyday on my wall !Its the type of piece you can walk past and make it put a smile on your face and leave it there thats whee it works better for me.

CHECK OUT POW! New Christmas releases! , by mace on Dec 20, 2012 15:16:43 GMT 1, Sorry, but POW really start to annoy me. I'm very keen on one of the prints that are supposed to be released, so I'm checking their website every 5 minutes while I have sh*tloads of work to do at my job.
Why can't they - at least roughly - say when the respective prints go online

But really I reckon its cos they don't know their ar$e from their elbow.. Last years Xmas list and coming soons a case in point.

Stop using them!
Buy better art elsewhere for a fraction of the price!
POW is a dead duck.
If board members continue to buy into this be prepared to accept their bull5hit.

CHECK OUT POW! New Christmas releases! , by 11 on Dec 20, 2012 16:21:35 GMT 1, POW just cant win - crucified for apparently doing nothing at xmas even though they hadnt announced any shows etc. then when they do kick into life crucified again for not being clear, accurate etc.
They tell us very little, even what they do tell us may be misleading. The prints they intend to put out may or may not materialise and until we see an add to basket or other instruction dont ever assume it will happen.
Yes they can sometimes seem a bit rude or abrupt but how many times do you think they get asked the same inane questions (for the last 12 months I bet 98% relate to Banksy and/or glitter)
They are a non profit outfit that provides a global stage for unknown artists as well as delivering some low cost \ excellent quality prints for the more well established
The attitude, secrecy and uncertainty is all part of their well-established brand - i've never known it any different. At the end of the day POW do a great job and I quite enjoy the 'F* you all' attitude - we find out when they want us to and not before. Having said that I have had pleasant and in-depth conversations with all of them and they are all good guys just trying to do their job.
For what its worth I reckon its going to be an all weekender.....

CHECK OUT POW! New Christmas releases! , by ecb on Dec 20, 2012 16:58:03 GMT 1, Histoically POW has likes to release prints on Thursdays in December or late November. Their really not on the ball with this years Christmas sale. Way late in the season for them to be doing any sale. I'm happy that they are doing it, just bugged by the wait like everyone else. POW is just another hype machine that puts out good works here and there. Well it is the here and there, but not the now. So keep f%'n and something will pop up in good time. Good luck all.

CHECK OUT POW! New Christmas releases! , by twist65 on Dec 20, 2012 17:43:27 GMT 1, didn't the Clockwork Orange specials drop at the weekend? Can't remember...
I don't mind when, if at all they release stuff, I just still think that a large part of it is not due to some well crafted release strategy, more they're not very organised.. I don't mind that either, just saying!

I'd imagine Jamie Hewlett chooses to leave around ยฃ800K of retained profit in the company cos he doesn't fancy paying the tax.
I do have some sympathy for POW as they are damned if they do and damned if they don't (well at least on here) but having said that a little more transparency isn't entirely unreasonable, is it?

CHECK OUT POW! New Christmas releases! , by 11 on Dec 20, 2012 18:27:08 GMT 1, Artist Run, Non-Profit - their words not mine.....what the artists make is a separate discussion
Drops have occurred at all times of the day or night - although havent known anything in the early hours. I remember a China Mike going up at about 10pm and didnt the Insect Clockwork specials go up at something like 8:30 am. The CYW drop was announced at 10:30pm
Last year I think it was the Cept that was supposed to drop at a set time and date but forgot..... I was standing in the shop when a guy came in and enquired about it - which then prompted 'oh sh1t forgot about that - better get it up I suppose'
The point is its very hard to predict what POW will do next or when
