Steve Powers ๐บ๐ธ ESPO โข New York Street Art โข New Release, by wimpy on Mar 3, 2010 2:51:19 GMT 1, This is the longest I've personally waited for something from POW out of 10 or so orders over the years and that includes the Sepia #62 fiasco.
Not a big deal, though. Not concerned.

Art that flips itself...no, really!, by wimpy on Mar 1, 2010 16:58:26 GMT 1, It is up $3k or so from a month or two ago.
Some dude looking for youtube fame like the one who buys iphones on release day and smashes them in front of people in line is going to get a hold of this soon enough.

Jessica Albarn show at Nelly Duff, by wimpy on Feb 26, 2010 1:00:35 GMT 1, Nice stuff.
Being clueless to who she is before this thread, I was thinking this was some print advertisement for some Jessica Alba mock-up with a gun and an american flag. Then again, anything Jessica Alba works for me.

grafter-splash-purchased-HELP needed!, by wimpy on Feb 23, 2010 23:49:11 GMT 1, It is the paint on the paper. Tell grafter to use different paper or enjoy it the way it is. A mess of my first few Failes were wavy beyond belief and still stinkin of violent ink and coffee.
You can flatten it out, though, in most cases by stretching the fibers back out. Grab two pieces of foamcore or something similar and sandwich it. Then sandwich that between two heavy pieces of plywood or something. Make sure the weight is evenly distributed.

Steve Powers ๐บ๐ธ ESPO โข New York Street Art โข New Release, by wimpy on Feb 12, 2010 14:43:53 GMT 1, I don't know if POWs specifically are going to charity. Never said that. I do know that Stephen Powers puts a ridiculous amount of time into his projects. What I'm saying is that anything that benefits Powers benefits what he has done for graffiti and for Philadelphia.
Again, people can hate the print all they want.

Steve Powers ๐บ๐ธ ESPO โข New York Street Art โข New Release, by wimpy on Feb 12, 2010 13:44:21 GMT 1, For those too lazy to follow the links and check out the whole blog, read this:
"... So once my dad kicks the bricks, I go out and find me a real role model. a stand-up guy thatโs got his head screwed on tight and good data to unselfishly share with me, for nothing more than the paint I would supply for the lesson. Suroc, aka Nick-E-Dee, aka Falcon. pka Buford Youthword, a standup guy from Avondale street, showed me the ways and means of making a name for yourself. We painted this rooftop in 1989, well into my 5th year of marking surfaces, and 2 years after I painted my first rooftop on Market Street, a building Suroc took me to paint. The rooftops were the perfect location for work. Largely forgotten spaces on the tops of buildings that youth would climb and put their personalities on display for the passing trains and the pasengers who passed their commute looking at the names that encapsulated those personalities; RAZZ, ESTRO, MR BLINT, CREDIT, CLYDE, RAN and MANIAC to mention a few. Suroc and I spoke our piece alongside those guys and added to the visual cocaphony that was Market Street in the 80โs.
One day in the mid-90โs it all got buffed brown. Nobody remembers when exactly, but it happened, efficiently, completely permanently. I find it interesting that no one noticed that a hundred full color walls suddenly went brown. That was always the problem with graffiti, for all itโs efforts to communicate, most people donโt understand it and if people donโt understand, they donโt take ownership, and your name gets taken down like a campaign poster in December. In our fame-addled America itโs easy to understand the motivation to write your name, a lot harder to appreciate the unreadable result. If you did make your name easy to process, you leave your audience cold after the 10th time theyโve seen your name, never mind the 100th or the 1000th. โI get it, youโre everywhere except the electric chair, (shout out to JS), but I donโt care.โ So in creating Love Letter, thinking about the medium of marking that made me the artist I am today, thinking about the amazing West Philadelphia that gave me the inspiration to do it, and finally the commuters that ride the train, Iโm looking to make colors and words happen on these rooftops and walls in a way that people will take ownership of the work. So if the buffman comes back around, people will shout him down."
Some of the signs they did to freshen up local businesses and teach kids the craft:

I'm not surprised that is hasn't been well received as it seemed as though no one really knew who espo was until his first print release with POW last year!
What? Graffiti didn't start with Banksy?
I suppose the meaning of my avatar is lost on 99.9% of people, too.
Thank goodness for people like Harvey, gentle, and sands for counterbalancing the previous few replies to this thread.

He (along with others) personally taking interest in a beat-up city and underprivileged kids in it? And POW wanting to sell a few prints to fund him and his efforts? Just terrible. Agreed, a worthy cause and great effort by Steve (typical). I personally love his work and this is a great example. If anybody has an original of "Everything is sh*t, except you love" they want to sell or trade give me a shout.
I'll see if there is one at the show tonight if you'd like.
