The invention of the internet and the cardboard tube enabled us to circumvent the centuries-old grip of the established art world and we laid waste to their cronyism and vested interests and good taste. We delivered a new generation of art directly into people’s homes - well, the Royal Mail did most of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere along the way we mastered our craft and many POW prints have become benchmarks within the industry. We pioneered the use of foil block, patterned embossing and we were the first in the industry to use non-solvent based inks. We never put anything down the drain except effort. Throughout it all POW has remained an independent artist-run operation, hosting landmark exhibitions and pioneering the concept of a shit pop-up shop long before it became fashionable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, inevitably disaster struck - and many of our artists became successful. Street Art was welcomed into mainstream culture with a benign shrug and the art we produced became another tradeable commodity. Despite attempts at price fixing regrettably some POW prints have become worth tens of thousands of pounds.

Instead of focusing on subway burners or stylised pieces, the book collects raw, funny, crude, political, poetic, and deeply Australian graffiti scrawled across toilets, pub walls, train stations, school desks, and public spaces. It captures the accidental folk poetry of the street, where sarcasm, boredom, punk energy, and working-class humour collide in permanent marker fumes.
