What you need to know about James Cauty and the CNPD

James Cauty was founder member of wild pop groups The Orb, The JAMMS, The KLF and art do-gooders The K-Foundation. He also founded the Blacksmoke Organisation, an eco-friendly post-terrorist peacenik art collective, but he resigned his post there in 2005 to spend more time with his stamp collection.

Since the inception of the CNPD in October 2005 James Cauty has been working closely with the aquarium, London to bring the world the finest in iconic, iconoclastic and topical stampage. This stampage takes the form of real stamps, first day covers and limited edition prints. Through a series of cunning marketing ploys including rigged pricing, small and cheap editions, and the deletions of popular images, a highly collectable art form has been established where serious collectors can get rich fast.

Following the last cull (THE MASS EXTINCTION CULL) the CNPD website has become an archive and resource centre for serious collectors. All future commercial activity will be conducted through this site.

Soon the "C.N.P.D. D.O.A. Directive - Delivering the Death of Art to Your Door" will be initiated. But until then there will be little new work for sale. We do however hold a stock of rare, deleted and out of stock prints at THE AQUARIUM L-13 on Farringdon Rd, London and "Reject" prints are sold through our sister gallery the A.M.U.T.I.

Occasionally we will offer a few special pieces on this site that you can't get anywhere else.
