Urban Art Association

Cheers for the info about DC being on tour. Like you say it may well have something to with the delay. I strongly suspect they are also going through submissions with a fine toothcomb to weed out the flippers where they can.

I think it's great that Jimmy gets some recognition for his input in getting these prints out. As David acknowledges, the business side is all Jimmy from production to distribution so good for him. Makes you wonder what Jimmy might create if he wanted to though!

Not so sure about your last point though. POW have got some fantastic art available on their site an have been responsible for some of the best screenprints I've had the pleasure to buy. Yes there is some sh1te that doesn't appeal to me either but this is balanced by the strength of other work. (Their packaging could be improved too! )

Look at Blu, Vaucher, Bast, Reas, Eine, Faile, Chalfant and Walker to name a few. I know it's subjective but to say it's all 'filth' is surely too much of a sweeping statement? Consider what POW have done in terms of Banksy prints, Micallef, Choe, Insect, Pure Evil, Blu, Erica, the list goes on.

I emailed Jimmy this morning asking again and no response....

I was obviously being over general. No doubt POW have put out some nice prints. That being said, even those are usually large editions at inflated prices. Also, the below quote just pisses me off -

"Why are they so expensive?
F**k off. Every POW edition print so far has sold out (eventually). They are always on eBay for more money. We genuinely set out to make art available to more than just tossers and gangsters."

WTF? So you hit the jackpot and bagged BANKSY. Nice. What many of these dolts don't realize is that there is a difference between a flipper (aka buys up prints just to sell) and the rest of us (or many of us) who are forced to pay large sums of money for artwork or prints over the internet at lightning speeds while looking at crappy jpegs. The whole "scene" is perfect for flippers, which in turn influences others who genuinely like the work to sell because the price is so out of wack with what the purchase price was...oops I think I am off topic...

...Oh Jimmy where art thou?

yeah me neither. Getting a bit annoying. i checked out his blog to see if any updates were given, but alas no.

and f$ck if they don't want flipper$ to have them price the damn prints so that they are out of their range -

Maybe it wasn't the best time to be releasing prints when you are moving shop and leaving people hanging on.

Come on. If you're going to do business with one of street arts most prolific gambling, hellraising card sharks with a long criminal record for theft .... can a smooth transaction always be expected? David's got a long esablished reputation to maintain after all. ;D

Although i guess if i told you that i still havent recieved my hell houdz .... you might really start to worry huh ?

You won't be so smug stackerwacker if my one turns up being Albino.

just keep it coming with the stupid names, i can take it.
