Granted it isn't always successful, and the work might not have the same appeal (both visually or financially) as the more established artists in this scene, but there have been some releases that have gone down very well (Dran and Steve Powers for example).
If you don't like it, then don't buy it!

The Ronald McDonald image has been done countless times before, most all of which are better than this.

Quite agree - and what's often forgotten is how pioneering that POW have been to the urban art scene generally and they've always tried to please all the people all the time with Banksy releases.
If the (many) critiques on here think they can do any better then why not give it a go and see how you get on!

The idea used to be that they were quite "throw away". Fun posters, kind of art, but not important.
At around £100 for most new prints, it's not fun anymore.
These aren't worth £90. You can buy good prints, from well known U.S artists, for far less.

DED - "King of Bears" & "Ron" - POW , by smellmyfinger on Jun 12, 2010 7:18:53 GMT 1, I'm with Happyshopper. £90.00 plus p&P is a lot of money. You can still get original work for around the £100 (or less sometimes).
As Spike Milligan said “Chopsticks are one of the reasons the Chinese never invented custard” Nothing to do with this link but it needs a bit of a cheery interlude

DED - "King of Bears" & "Ron" - POW , by caddyshack on Jul 20, 2010 15:06:06 GMT 1, I have Ded's Snow and love it (girlfriend doesn't though). I didn't get Cindy because i wasn't overley impressed, which is also mirrored in the fact that Snow sold out very quickly, and Cindy is still available some 8 months later.
I also have to agree with the other people on this forum. I don't like the 2 new images. Sorry Ded...
Never had any problem with POW though..
