Nick Walker - Empire State - ARRIVED, by etched on Jan 30, 2009 18:47:09 GMT 1, Pud, I just opened this print up and it's amazing. It's easily one of the top prints I gotten in quite some time. Dzel's pictures do not do this piece justice. Nice one matey! Seems there are a few more USA members comin out of the woodwork having won the raffle. Well chuffed for all those who got one, surely his best after London, if not as good as London!
its better - it has a yellow cab in it - iconic ;D

Nick Walker - Empire State - ARRIVED, by iknownuttin on Jan 30, 2009 18:56:15 GMT 1, What I can't understand is why so many of you spend so much money on getting your pieces framed? Is that just a UK thing 'cause there are plenty of quality options here in the U.S. that are far more cost efficient than some of the prices that I've seen on this site.
I don't mean to sound sarcastic or disrespectful but is there something special about the frames that you guys are purchasing that maybe I don't know about?
I understand how much a frame compliments and even sets the vibe when viewing a piece but the viewer is going to be focused more on the actual artwork and not care to feel passionately about the frame.
It just seems as if your paying the bullshit price that people charge to frame museum quality fine art pieces.
These pieces stem from the Graffiti/Street Art scene and not the pretentious and stuck up "fine art" world and I don't care how much money some of this work is going for.
I'd like to see more people make their own frames out of street found materials then all you would need is a good glass connection. That would also bring the artpiece back to it's original environment.

POW could certainly learn a thing, especially considering my last 2 prints from them have been damaged. The quality of the print and image is awesome and I can't wait to get it to the framers and on the wall!

Did you have to pay the postage costs to return the damaged prints to POW?
