www.picturesonwalls.comThe Gods of 'urban art' prints, with a distinct UK flavour. The more popular artists - Banksy, Faile, Micallef, BAST, 3D, etc - sell out in seconds but there are many other very talented artists that you can still buy prints from. Good points: - Lots of great artists to choose work from. - very nice quality prints. - well packed & shipped although they can take a while sometime. Not-so-good points: - all prices in British sterling so when changed to AUD ends up being pretty expensive. - as mentioned above, the popular pieces always sells out stupidly fast so can be very tough to purchase. - new items are launched on UK time so while most of us Aussies are asleep.

Also worth noting that they charge like a wounded bull for shipping as they say its all in seperate tubes... and then occasionally it all turns up in one tube.. hmm... The pos outweight the negs tho as theyre helpful and have great stuff... Er, prices in GBP are great for us... the Au$ is 2.25to the £... 5 years ago it was 3+.... life is good.  |

Sorry, i didn't see this posting.
Yeah, POW suggests theres a message there somewhere.
Corporate shackles on a crocodile/monkey chain-smoker... the shackles also represent prison cell-blocks.... Where big corporation directors may end up.
And someone has escaped from number one block and he can't run down the rood because the road is cracked and he got caught and he put his hands in the air and bullets are raining down on him....
A truck which was supposed to be the getaway truck sped away from the big giant thingy and it also didn't want to pay the toll and the truck wants to drive/break free of the rope barrier...
And a mouse icon because its all really a game in life until Dizaster strikes!!!
Don't you see??

The crocodile ate a boomerang and it got stuck in its throat.

Oh... and Dizaster is shaped like a Pyramid. This shape represents the 'Pyramid Scheme'.
Its also spelt DIZASTER to pay homage to Dizze Rascal.
and the Dizaster farted.

Is it me or do POW prints go on sale at the most random of times? sometimes in the early morning hours (most of the time) but as seen with the Todd James print the other day, a respectable evening time for us Australians. Was fun just refreshing the page watching the prints go.. too bad it did nothing for me... happy to let that go.

Yeah its completely random.
The last Banksy was 3 am Sydney time with the info from POW that it will be released this month with an email sometimes following after they have gone!! As others have suggested you need to fill the fridge, buy an expresso coffee maker, get a catheta fitted or nappies and pray to your god(s). They sell out in seconds!!!
Couldnt afford the secondary market myself and with every release the number of punters in the game increases dramatically.
Def what Hugs said about caution on the secondary market....where there's large sums of $ to be made, there are some scammers out in force!
Best of luck, gotta be in it to win it ;D
