Who is Miss Bugs?, by Monkey on Apr 12, 2008 10:43:11 GMT 1, I'm pretty sure art republic told me it was eelus when the first print was released. I've always been surprised that the same artist can do two names but the work is similar in composition. Birth date sounds right, not sure eelus was born in Bristol though.
He wasnt G, Eelus was born in Wigan....

Who is Miss Bugs?, by seidbereit on Apr 12, 2008 14:45:08 GMT 1, Is it just me, or is the connection between Bugs and Insects maybe just a bit too obvious. Where does Paul Insect hail from?
Miss Bugs
Paul Insect
Miss Bugs
Paul Insect
(edit: oops photos in the wrong order)
Similarly the new print with Dumbo surrounded by all sorts of added on images (cameras and microphones etc) reminds me of the style used in Who To Believe where Pinocchio has been embellished with all sorts of added on objects.
To be honest I've paid little attention to Miss Bugs so far, the only image I saw quite frequently was the wonder woman one which doesn't really do it for me, but given all this recent talk about him/her/them I've paid MB a little more attention. That said, I still can't say any of it does anything for me (although the print made from the Snow White image does look very nice - again, though in a Who To Believe, kind of way IMO).

Who is Miss Bugs?, by mainartery on Apr 12, 2008 15:01:18 GMT 1, Paul insect!!! no way. I can't believe you all. Come on. No disrespect to Miss Buggs but no well established artist/s would risk or undermine there work my doing commissions under a different name for a few hundred pounds.
Yes artist have gone under alias before but have never sold commercially under a pseudo name.

Who is Miss Bugs?, by uac on Apr 12, 2008 15:11:52 GMT 1, lol yes i'll agree with that.
Its funny but i buy alot of art and would never buy without knowing an artists history. Even unknown artists i look into to find out what they have done before hand. Yes i know, buy what you like, of course but unless their is some background the work is to much of a risk. This is exactly what the mainstream galleries are afraid of which i think may stunt the growth of the lesser known artists as the scene moves forward.

Luckily I have picked up all their releases to date with the exception of Dumbo which I passed on with there being no hand finished elements.

I don't understand uac's point. There is no risk, when paying around 100 quid for an image you love, even if you know nothing about the artist imo.

thanks mighty and harvyn!
it would be interesting if it was eelus....sort of like when postal service was more popular than death cab for cutie (prior to "plans" being released)....
i thought those insect images were quite similar as well though.
really, i could care less if its two 16 year old kids. i like what i like.
