Next Banksy Print Confusion?, by melmoth on Jun 24, 2008 19:08:02 GMT 1, Re: the mass email question.
The last couple of Banksy releases were announced by stating that they would be released 'this month' on the main page of the POW or Santa's Ghetto sites. This leads to many forum members lashing themselves to a computer and tapping away on f5 until their fingers bleed. Some are lucky and are there when the print drops, others have wandered off to the bathroom for 2 minutes, or are taken to hospital for bed sores. Note that, in the latter two cases, more wily forum members wear adult diapers and remember to turn themselves once a day.
An email is typically sent by POW shortly after the print is dropped aka sold out IF YOU'RE LUCKY. Many, many people who sign up to the POW mailing list don't get such e-mails, though nobody knows why. It's not so much a 'mass' e-mail, so much as an unlikely, ironic one.
Good luck though.
It's great fun.

For the L.A. show in 06 Banksy released 6 prints called the "LA series"
Grannies
Applause
Morons
Trollies
Festival
Sale Ends Today
They were unsigned and numbered 50-150 (100 of each in total being released). From what I can tell (maybe I am wrong) that when POW re-released the other unsigned copies they released the full 500 run and reused the 50-150 numbers.
The image was slightly different then the ones released on POW, I heard a rumor that MR B didn't like the quality of the prints and destroyed the first set of screens and had POW create new ones.
Anyone care to add anything I missed.

Next Banksy Print Confusion?, by snakes on Jun 24, 2008 19:20:42 GMT 1, Don't bother about the next Banksy release. Why waste beautiful days effectively chained to your computer when you could be out doing something better.
I have given up hope in getting a signed Banksy print. I am however more than happy to pay the extra couple of hundred quid on ebay when it is absolutely saturated with the latest release (ie. snagging trolleys for ยฃ460 for me was worth it as if I was to think of the time I could have spent in front of the computer the same print would have cost me thousands of pounds in 'man hours').

Me too Snakes - I have resigned myself to paying the extra on the Bay. Even if I did manage to actually see the release online, I know it's just never gonna happen for me being as they sell out in like 10 seconds flat! I'm with less stress for a few extra quid.
Although I really, really hate to line line the pockets of the flippers. But what can you do?!

I totally agree Snakes, it simply isn't worth the hundreds of hours sitting on POW waiting for the next drop. You could commit the next three months F5ing, head out of the room for a couple of minutes and miss it (which will then leave you in a mild state of depression for a good couple of weeks!).
For those people thinking that the next Banksy is just around the corner, it isn't. POW will always give the heads up a couple of weeks before the drop and notify everyone of an impending release on their homepage. Don't expect it to be in the next couple of months though...

Next Banksy Print Confusion?, by hlarmy on Jun 24, 2008 22:47:29 GMT 1, There's no doubt they're dragging it out. The moment POW release their last Banksy print, the traffic on the site will drop massively. As it is, everything they release (no matter who the artist is and the price they charge) sells out in seconds. From a business point of view, it makes sense to delay the final two L.A. prints for as long as possible ... hence (IMO of course) there will not be a print release in the near future. It's not necessarily a bad thing either as other artists can ride the wave and flippers will continue to get burnt by buying average prints from 'the next Banksy'
