Got a cream in basket if someone wants it.

?

sounds like a shopping basket at tescos.

urm yeah thats it - cream in my basket, making a cake you see.

'You're worthless, but i'm worth less', brilliant. This, I don't like. He's got talent, but it isn't evident here.

i know what you mean vera. i have a queen vic that's sits and waits until my daughter grows up and leaves home. no way is that allowed up in our house. until then its the cheeky occasional glance in private.
back to this piece. i'm sure it will have its fans but to me it just reminds of a rather flash "you dont have to be mad to work here it but it helps" sort of thing and doesnt make my leg tremble. but credit to POW for doing a print that resonates with the times and it made me smile.

and i'm sure it will sell out and in this climate its being bought for all the same reasons people bought at the beginning. because they like it. thats the best bit for me. the good ol days.

if this ends up being one of those things i talk about not getting years down the line i'm just gonna have to live with it like i have had to live with all the banksy, micallef, faile, eine work i have passed on when i should've bought the lot. what will be will be. she sang.(notice the link back to vera at the start of my reply eh? eh?)

one last thing.

there is a book called "is it me or is everything s**t? can be very funny at times. what he says about powerpoint: the microsoft tool that encourages people to think and talk like f**kheads.

If not a full Artist then maybe just a piece that fell off one.

Yeah after all if you can have morons in your house then you can have this. I would draw the line at anything which would scare the kids. I wouldn't have Michael Hussar up for example, although that would mostly be because it scares me too.

And for those saying that because this is a typographical art they could do it themselves well I would say firstly does that matter? and secondly can you really do it yourself. If so I'd love to see your efforts.

Costa Rica I meant, not Disney.

Sorry Neale.. was only joking.

Bloody miraculous, do you have Saturdays lottery numbers? I'd settle for 5 out of 6.

best print on pow in the last few months (christmas releases included)

somebody is in the know-

Not my thing at all. Never really enjoyed anything I've seen by Eine either. In fact I struggled to get into Faile's art for a long time, because I felt it was very typographically focussed. It just isn't my thing at all. Strangely enough I'm often quite drawn to calligraphy when I see it, especially some of the wood carvings I saw in Vietnam years ago (I always found it interesting how they use our alphabet to write their language, which sounds so incompatible when you hear it). Generally speaking though this type of art is not my bag at all.

As for price, these are pretty affordable by POW's recent standards aren't they? When was the last time they offered signed prints for below £200? I have no comment on the price, suffice to say I'm just not digging the art.
