Will Paper Monster be the POW of the west?, by Francis on Dec 15, 2007 3:44:08 GMT 1, Paper Monster is just starting out and already has:
Swoon
Anthony Lister
BORF
Judith Supine
Think of how great it would be if they added Kaws, Futura, Barry McGee, or BAST (they'll never have Aiko). Their prints/pieces are much more unique and innovative than POW's stuff and a lot more limited. They have great customer service and is run by artists themselves. What do you guys think? World domination in a year or two?

Why do you hope not? Have you had a bad experience with them in the past, don't like their selection of stock, etc.?

I just don't like the idea of a single print house being so in control... I like the decentralization of the American street art scene, and I don't particularly like F5ing.

Will Paper Monster be the POW of the west?, by Gentle Mental on Dec 15, 2007 9:37:01 GMT 1, For trolleys, i wasted 29 long nights just to finally bag an unsigned. (imagine how i would feel if i'd gotten nothing!)
And that's why i really, really appreciate Paper Monster's two heads-up system - one given weeks before the release (so we can be prepared, and set aside certain days, and budget), and one, an hour prior to the actual release, to give us ample time to rush to our PCs to prepare for the carnage.
It's not only good for the well-being of everyone (giving everyone their lives back) - it's good for the environment - any idea how much energy/power's wasted on unnecessary F5ing?
All that time could've been put to much better use.
Paper Monster's system is fair and effective, if i missed out on a swoon, that's my bad planning/luck/slow fingers/crappy web access etc, but at least i hadn't wasted 29 days.
POW's announcement's always been vague (later this month, nothing at the moment, soon (like how long is "soon"?) and their email heads up is often too late.
For ghetto, it'll be good to state who's releasing what and when. So no one needs to stay up/risk getting fired just to find out today's the day of the release of Zbiok's ยฃ250 ghetto piece.

IMHO, but the quality is undeniable.

I agree a 1000 times over....the F5ing, the vague release times...it's all getting to be too much -- it's like the hunt is more the thing than the prize now.....I've lost many hours sleep in the last week or so, setting alarms at 5 am...F5ing while Im falling alseep at my computer.....and I'm not any further ahead today than I was last week....so +1 from an exhausted Canadian....

It's more innovative, better presented & generally has a more sophisticated feel. The other site that falls into this bracket is Studio Cromie - studiocromie.org - they have some brilliant Eric Il cane & Sam3 stuff & originals & pints from Ethos - the new Salvador Dali.
For anyone who's sick of the usual POW game of cat & mouse.

they have a great stable of artists. assuming that they continue to recruit quality artists then I think they will be fine.

Absolute rubbish. If you check out their site there are plenty of less well known artists on there....
