New Miss Bugs OG, by randomname on Apr 29, 2015 23:35:42 GMT 1, To be fair, I don't remember if you ever said anything specifically about her use of comic book art. I just remember you're a fan of her work. So I thought it was a little odd you would take exception to someone using another artist's work as a minor element. But not have a problem with an artist using anther person's work as the central element. If anything, I'd say Sandra's misappropriation is far more blatant. I enjoy Sandra's work, but have never said it doesn't appropriate. I'm also a fan of MB's. Actually, a much bigger fan. And I think unlike SC, MB's work can stand on its own without the help of appropriation. So I don't get why they do it. They don't need to, and I think it cheapens the work. I still think it's good, but I lso think it could be better...
Fair enough. I agree MB's work stands on its own. I'd be interested to hear some opinions from the artists they appropriated.

at the same time i want them to take a risk and use a medium they havent explored. so torn

New Miss Bugs OG, by chan011 on Jan 13, 2016 4:43:46 GMT 1, posting this everywhere
I’ve wanted to document this for the last few years so others can see the behind the scenes and how great MB is to work with. Hopefully MB will be fine with the correspondence that is documented below but im sure I'm not the only one that was curious about the process
Here is the overall process for my piece I started this process back in December of 2013 and she finally arrived today!
Quotes are MB, Italics are me
The Mock Up Process
I asked the following - have you ever done a piece that incorporated blades, pills and or dollars or do you tend to stick with one throughout?
I then asked
I started brainstorming ideas for the resin and was wondering if the iridescent side of abalone shells be a feasible resin option?
I also asked - will i be able to pick the likeness of the face on the piece?
originally i was imagining larger pieces of shell, but the iridescent effect is what i was after. do you have an idea as to what other material you are considering to go along with the shells?
Also if it helps, I really liked the blue color from your Showing Today piece that you posted on facebook. Doesnt necessarily have to be blue but just the fact that it was a colored piece and not clear or black. not sure if that will work with the abalone or not but just something that i happened to like.
Sorry for the slow reply... I've just been helping with the finishing and packing of our last print run.
Happy to try a colour back drop....
I don't think it will of anyone particular (very famous). At the moment we're just looking at different portraits that capture the mood and overall feel of the piece we're trying to achieve... We never really start with any one set person unless its a portrait piece.
Ok we've made some good progress with your mock up (see photos attached) and got her to a stage where we're really happy with her. I love the natural surface of the shells, but using them in a conflicting man-made way, from a digital pixel pattern. We tried to give the pattern a boldness from afar, whist trying to keep a delicacy in the detail.

I would love one of their resin works, but I haven't gotten around to flat out ask them for prices. If it is okay, could you pm me how much this cost? I totally understand if you'd rather not share that information.
