Nick Cave reveals he hasn't sold one roll of his erotic Hyatt girls wallpaper

Back in August Cave launched his Cave Things online store, featuring "things conceived, sourced, shaped and designed by Nick Cave". Alongside featuring a Warren Ellis plectrum, a Red Hand charm/keyring, a variety of t-shirts and more, his online store also included rolls of erotic wallpaper printed with Cave's Hyatt girls illustration from 2006.

In a new interview with the Financial Times, Cave has spoken about his store and the items, revealing that the store items are "pure play". He added, "It makes the process of songwriting tolerable."

Cave discussed his favourite Cave Things item, and revealed he's yet to sell one of that item, "My favourite thing is the Hyatt Girls pornographic wallpaper, made from drawings of naked women I have doodled in hotels down the years. It’s a lovely thing - and so far has sold zero rolls. I am immensely proud of designing a product that literally nobody wants!"

The musician also spoke about his relationship with his Q+A site The Red Hand Files, revealing that it's "a monumental privilege" to connect with his community at a time where much of the world is in isolation due to the pandemic, adding that it's become "a kind of survival strategy for me". Cave also said that despite receiving over 39,435 questions, "I read all of them. It is very important to me to do this."
