I also think Jamie's work is hugely underrated. He won the coveted designer of the year award last year and I'm certain will be around long after many of POWs other artists are forgotten (Banksy and Micallef excluded of course).
Sway - when you can afford it - why don't you buy a signed copy of one of the windows. If you're framing them all together - having one signed one does the job.

Jamie Hewlett ๐ฌ๐ง The Gorillaz โข Tank Girl โข Comic Book, by biggayal on Mar 2, 2007 14:10:28 GMT 1, I've got the full set signed and I think the detail in the print is of the highest quality. Maybe a factor putting people off is the cost of getting all 5 framed.. I think it's one of those prints that when it sells out, people will be kicking themselves for not getting it. The M16 Assault Lolly ;D (another print of the highest quality) print was for sale on POW for ages for about ยฃ50 - now it's sold out i've seen a recent one on the 'bay for ยฃ200.....

Jamie Hewlett ๐ฌ๐ง The Gorillaz โข Tank Girl โข Comic Book, by pezlow on Mar 2, 2007 14:14:32 GMT 1, I think that is probably the problem - that there a 5 prints in the series and given that we are all a bit train spotterish on here (well I am anyway!) you instantly feel that you have to get all five. All five signed would set you back ยฃ900 and then there is the framing cost as well.
In fact you don't have to buy all five and (if you forget about the existence of the others) each one of these are great prints in their own rights.
Having said all that I would discourage people from buying them at the moment. I don't want them to sell out before I have saved enough to get the lot.

Though, we've all seen that the price of signed prints has risen exponentially when compared to unsigned versions. There's obviously a whole debate about the intrinsic value of a signature on a piece of art and traditionally I've taken the position that they mean squat (after all it's the image that's important). Though, I have to say there's something nice about knowing that the artist actually handled your particular print.
As a cheaper alternative to the large middle, I'd probably go for a signed small left.

I agree most things look better in the flesh. But some don't. Whisper it softly but i really didn't like the insect Sex Toy 1 print that I bought from POW. Glossy paper uggghhh. Looks like a signed poster. Anyway it is on the bay now to help fund this art addiction of mine!

My money is on them becoming an important iconic part of British art history. I think one day a full signed set will be worth a fortune. We shall see.

One of POW's better offerings A cracking image skillfully executed and nicely printed. Of course now that they are sold out they have become much more desirable for some odd reason.
