Nick Walker โข TMA Hollywood, by dmandpenfold on Feb 14, 2008 14:54:15 GMT 1, hey i've been out and about busy buying a Valentines pressie for the missus and missed all the action..
i've just one question though what's going on here.....not so long ago NW stuff would sit around for a while, you could take your time buying and choose what you did and didn't like....now all of a sudden he's mint, not that i am complaining mind you as i've bought plenty of his stuff in the past and still have it all hanging on the wall or tucked away safely in my art folder...but what's with all the sudden hype and selling out of prints in nano seconds.....what's the next bandwagon..?

Nick Walker โข TMA Hollywood, by funyoung on Feb 14, 2008 15:06:42 GMT 1, Naive question - why do POW ban people using software? Surely that is the way to go (if you want the print) as my internet connection is so slow I'd have to move to get a faster one - bit OTT i think.
Why don't they just sell as many as people want at a set time - then send out a signed one to every tenth person - that way every person wanting the print would buy, the price is driven down for flippers, Nick gets what he deserves, and some people get lucky with a signed one - this might result in 2000 TMA Hollywood prints with only 100 signed ones. I'd be happy because I'd have the full quality print to put on my wall.
Just a thought.

Didn't you hear? He is the 'next' Banksy.
Seriously though.
That's what I am wondering as well.
Don't get me wrong I am a NW fan /supported him for a long time/ and I am happy for him that he come out of the shadows a bit. however I find the prices and the whole hype created by the Bonhams a bit too much.
Few weeks ago no one really mentioned his name here and now look.
Only time will tell I suppose.
Maybe he truly is the next one

I fully agree with POW banning people using software that "hits" their site 100s of times a second, it means people without software have a chance, also saves on the POW bandwidth... I hope they include more things for future releases, such as having to type an authentication code (i.e. ticketmaster) to stop the bots
Because you may end up with unsigned if you only want signed?

i think they have employed some brains finally on the hosting front.
