THE CHRISTMAS GHETTO - POW - LAZARIDES + OTHERS, by Guest on Nov 6, 2012 16:11:12 GMT 1, Well. That time is almost upon us... I stuck to my word to Love and said i would start us off once i was at -100. That day has arrived a little later than expected.
Last year we saw a load of new bits from Lazarides, pictures on walls and many others... So what will be on store this year? Lets hear about other releases as well which might be hidden away (time for a xmas stik ryca?)
Last year P.O.W had announced the new Banksy and other prints on 1st December and it is just a few weeks away. They have been stupidly quiet this year so lets hope they save it all for xmas.
Also really enjoyed the Lazarides releases last year on the 12 days of christmas.
Lets go ho ho ho...
(If it goes over 100 pages then i hear that it will unlock the cupboard containing the sticky glitter)

POW were left with some pretty serious egg on face last year.
If they make the bold claim of "Were going to sell Banksy prints" they should actually sell Banksy prints!
Otherwise its just hype punt the other God awful prints they sell.

And the year before we had the CYW release, which didn't go quite as planned

So you end up buying a cheap knock off instead and they still make their money.
Just rumours but after what was said about the last Banksy queue they probably scrapped the whole thing.

THE CHRISTMAS GHETTO - POW - LAZARIDES + OTHERS, by kel on Nov 6, 2012 17:53:38 GMT 1, I couldn't remember anything from POW last Christmas that stood out for me so I ended up having a look back at the catalog.
There were some gems in there (each to there own) but Invader, Dran I also have always liked the Cept image stood out for me. What I did notice was the amount that POW still have available from last years releases. There have been many discussions on here over some of the work that POW have released but last Christmas probably wasn't as successful as they would have hoped.

You would have thought that being creative people they would have some visual awareness of what will actually make a good print.

I thought their staff were part time anyway apart from simon.
They are mainly a printers, but their rent must cost a bit.

THE CHRISTMAS GHETTO - POW - LAZARIDES + OTHERS, by Guest on Nov 6, 2012 23:28:20 GMT 1, Someone said that last year. And they were wrong. It's his company. He can do as he pleases
Im sure he would love to release a banksy print every month.
But unfortunately he cannot do as he pleases by the looks of it.
Anyway, last year was not that bad although they still need to sort this mystical queing shizzle out and make it very clear that some will go online and some will be in the shop. Does not have to give dates. There were people rocking up all over the shop last year based on rumours.
Could start getting messy again and giving lack of information really is not big or clever, it is just irritating.
The guy with the sofa outside was a classic though.

THE CHRISTMAS GHETTO - POW - LAZARIDES + OTHERS, by twist65 on Nov 6, 2012 23:49:27 GMT 1, wonder who will be this years Evol, deflecting away from the lack of a Banksy release? Personally think POW has been toilet this year, Clockwork Britain aside, so not building my hopes up, although would love it if they did a little book cover style edition of that a la Faile..
Hoping there's a Bast drop on his site or something Faile or Invader related for Xmas..

THE CHRISTMAS GHETTO - POW - LAZARIDES + OTHERS, by Neate Michael on Nov 7, 2012 9:59:40 GMT 1, I love how people complain about threads like this. Isn't it the same as those who complain about something on tv? Just don't watch, ignore it, and read other threads...
Personally, I love threads like this. I love the anticipation, the gossip, the in-the-knows, the complaining, the joy of the few that score the print they want, the slating of POW, the queue rumours, the glitter fiascos. Love it all. I genuinely wish there were more threads like this.
Not living in London anymore (or even the UK) I have no chance of going to these shows, so I really do appreciate all the pictures that get posted...
And we still have not solved some of the big mysteries of our time such as:
- Whatever happened to those unreleased Banksy LA prints (festival and sales end)?
- Why did those gorilla prints get scrapped? (clearly it was never a glitter issue)
- Why are most POW prints complete gash, and who buys them?
- Why doesn't Banksy do an open, unsigned release for charity? (ok, this is my personal bugbear, but I do wonder why he doesn't)
So thank you Freerange for starting this thread. And I look forward to it reaching 100 pages asap!

THE CHRISTMAS GHETTO - POW - LAZARIDES + OTHERS, by Neate Michael on Nov 7, 2012 11:35:45 GMT 1, I think Mic was (arguably still is) at a time in his career when he was developing, and not known to the wider public.
Banksy is world famous... I am not sure over saturation (for one print) would matter that much these days...
Anyway, I only say it, because
a) It would raise more money for charity than a limited run does b) It would sort out the wheat from the chaff. Only fans who liked the image would buy it, if it was a timed release for 24 hours, everyone could get one, and it would mean the flippers would see very little return.
ANyway, freerange, enough about that, what do you reckon will be at the ghetto this year, where will it be, will there be a Banksy print?

I think it would be too much work to do a proper print in that fashion these days. It would be chaos !
