Miss Bugs Prints, by scavos on Apr 11, 2008 15:25:42 GMT 1, I know what you mean Ab but to be fair raised interest also correlates with artist(s) getting more exposure and publicity. This often does have a knock on effect on prices.
Just a general point, I think we need to be careful of labeling everyone (not that you were) who now seeks to know more about artists like MB or NW as being purely financially motivated. Of course many do exist but I'm sure many more will be increasingly aware of their work through forums like this who want to find out what it's all about.
Personally, I love MB's work and have been collecting their releases since waod. I didn't really like the Diamond Carrot image when it first came out but have grown to love it. I've been looking out for it for the last 4 months.

Miss Bugs Prints, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 11, 2008 17:00:24 GMT 1, Scavos, Thank you. You're spot in mate! PA, no offense but I would expect someone in the business to be a little more open-minded to it's true nature. I for one live thousands of miles away and don't walk around the streets of London or Brighton getting to see the latest street art and haven't for 9 years now, but only really became interested in this genre (or art as a whole for that matter) off the back of the exploits of Adam Neate being publicised and in particular the message in "Morons" really made me sit up and take notice. The 2 factors that had kept me away from art collecting were the social circles I'd perceived it to be limited to and the whole value concept I had, which had been totally wrong. Once artists began making loud noises to themselves question the meaning and value of art I became intrigued. How could someone like myself, possibly have the same knowledge of artists as many of the rest of you here? The only way "fresher" collectors can discover art and develop their tastes for it, is through research, exposure and publicity. So to take that very snooty and sadly typical "forumite" view of "you only like it because it's risen in value and you might make a few quid" is really very cynical and a little stuck up and PA this is a general point, not directed specifically at you personally, this is targeted at the forum as a whole. Please try to remember that we all took an interest at different times and for different reasons and that everyone has their own circumstances which influence how they can collect.
I too only learned of MB through this forum. I love that Snow White image and was very upset to miss out on the release (as were so many others). Yesterday's offering was pretty cool, but did not captivate me in the same way, plus due to another pretty offbeat reason at home, was less suitable, so I gave it a miss. I would love to have had the chance to have got a Diamond carrot or waod, but sadly had never heard of MB at that time!
I totally respect why members here dislike those who buy purely to sell on when it means that we, have to pay more for something that may otherwise have been available to us at source, but let's not take it out on every new collector please. There are those of us who are just as enchanted by the art as anyone else!

Miss Bugs Prints, by paulypaul on Apr 11, 2008 18:20:32 GMT 1, My interest in MB was serendipity. I happened to be on here one day when they posted that the first 5 replies would get a free print. I was one of them and got Diamond Carrot. It arrived and I loved it (think it was the first framed MB to b put in the gallery on here...) bought WAOD, Scary Mail (wasn't sure of that one - thought it might be a little parochial) and gave 'Invisible..' a miss cos I didn't like it. Managed to get a 'Heart...' and will (I suspect) be trying to buy a refund print..
MB are the nicest, most exciting, most original artists to appear for some time. I mean - how cool are the He-Man/Skeletor posters? Brilliant...
I hope they have tons of success...

Hi mate,
It's a bit hard to respond to your post as you make so many points, but to be honest my original comment was a little flippant & wasn't loaded with meaning. It does raise a question though: do prices shoot up because people love the work, or do people love the work because prices are shooting up? Certainly it's reassuring to have work on your wall that's valuable.
In some cases i'm not so sure. I like Miss Bugs & bought a Diamond Carrot (which I stupidly sold a few weeks ago for feck all!), so i'm not having a go at anyone who likes their work. I'm just not sure at the moment there's enough there to justify the very high prices though.
I think most people are like you in that they're pretty much only aware of Miss Bugs through the forum. They've done a few street pieces that i've seen here & on flickr, but i've not run into any myself. There was also a piece at Alternativity over christmas that I didn't like at all (Daffy Duck in front of the Hirst spots). But the beauty of the internet is that you don't have to live in Shoreditch or Brighton to be able to see this street stuff.
I recommend getting involved with flickr by the way, which i've found a great way to come across new work.
And sometimes it does take a while for things to click. I totally missed the boat on Parla & Neate for example. They're two artists whose work you really do have to see in person. The internet unfortunately can't completely replace getting out to exhibitions & the like.
Yeah, fuck I don't know what i'm talking about now. Are we vaguely talking about the same thing? I dunno. I think i'll just hit reply and go and have my dinn.....

Where do you live by the way? There is street art everywhere, and to be honest most of it is far more interesting than what you'll find in Shoreditch.

I saw your diamond carrot on the GYBOFTL thread and pm'd asking where you got it and who it was.
It blew me away the second I saw it, so thankyou for PMing back cos i managed to get one off Miss Bugs.

I know - may have to pay top dollar for it....
I bought the Dumbo cos I thought the silver ink might make it interesting. I like the ridiculousness of the image and it's paparazzi/bollox media relevance...
But, yeah, that refund print....!

Where do you live by the way? There is street art everywhere, and to be honest most of it is far more interesting than what you'll find in Shoreditch.[/quote]
Right now I'm in the interior of Parana, Brazil for a while. City is called Londrina (meaning little London - founded by an Englishman, Arthur Thomas). It's a fairly bland and boring place but a relatively large city for here (largest for some way in any direction), population being around 600,000 I think. Indeed there is street art here and I keep meaning to take the camera out with me, but forgetting. I also know that I've yet to see the more impressive pieces. The guy Studiocromie are currently promoting, Ethos, has done some pieces here and I've been meaning to email him to find out any nice hotspots here. The local government have also supported some smallish projects here. I will post some pics when I get round to taking them.
As for the question you raise regarding cause and effect, I believe that like most markets the current "street art market" (prints and originals created by artists in the genre at least), is very much a self-fulfilling prophecy. Loads of people bring attention, thus bringing further attention exponentially, generating rises in "value" on the secondary market in those pieces that are sold out at source, which in turn generates further interest or desire amongst collectors. I don't think there's any mystery to it at all. I don't actually share the view that flippers are the cause of any of this, just an unpleasant effect, as brokers/dealers do well in any boyant market and it's human nature to seek new, lucrative markets. At the very least, they only arrived after th buzz had started, ironically as did probably most fans of the genre, including myself!
