So I got the last of my POW orders today, which arrived with an unexpected bonus tube, containing a print I never ordered. It's one I really like, hadn't seen pop up on their site over the last few months, and would have vaulted merrily to the top of my short print queue. Indeed, I posted here a couple of days ago asking if anyone had anything to offer by this very artist, so it was all extremely serendipitous. I was delighted, but as I slid it into my portfolio something was nagging darkly on my conscience.

So I emailed them to say thanks for my splendid gift, but that for the sake of my sanity I had to check that it didn't actually belong to somebody else. They swiftly responded to say that it was all a horrible mistake and that I have to send it back otherwise they'll be really, really angry. I offered to buy it, but that only seemed to make them angrier. It was, they said, the property of the artist, so I suggested that I could contact the artist to ask if I can buy it. This made them utterly furious in a somewhat threatening way. I fear POW and I have fallen out of love over this.

Now I have it, I like it, I want to keep it, but I'm not allowed to. This is upsetting. I have learned a valuable lesson about honesty, namely that it isn't always the best policy, no matter what your mother told you.

In conclusion, if anyone has a copy of Vhils' Nothing Lasts Forever in their flat file, please drop me a line.

I'd definitely disagree with your assessment about honesty. Always best to be honest and you'll be a better version of yourself for continuing that pattern. People with the best mindsets live the best lives, money and fancy prints be damned 😁

Anyone see that Netflix documentary on happiness? Doesn't surprise me that people in more impoverished nations rank higher on the overall happiness scale than people living in America

must be ecstatic in Bristol then 💥
