Having checked wikipedia (cos it's all true on there) i can't seem to find much out about MB.
Let me know what you know!

Who is Miss Bugs?, by giiiant on May 18, 2008 20:18:18 GMT 1, Here's what I've gathered;
1) they may or not be an artist in disguise (though evidence points strongly towards 'not')
2) banksy may or may not have bought one of their pieces at a show
3) people like to treat both these points as solid truth, particularly when selling their stuff

For what its worth i agree with the above.
It seems Bugs aint either Banksy, Insect or hirst.
They may have sold some work to Banksy once ( does his c .card say banksy on it?)
They have done some work with a hirst background.
They have done some work similar to paul insect work.
They seem to have been around before in a previous disguise as a smaller time artist who learnt from their original run..

Who is Miss Bugs?, by Heavyconsumer on May 19, 2008 2:11:31 GMT 1, I don't get why people give a monkey's about all the conspiracy theory nonsense. I like their art, so I try to buy it (no mean feat of course!). If you like it great, if you don't great. Is there really any need for playing into the salesmen's hands? None that I can see. I like to think their work is selling at a premium because it's distinctively theirs and it's very limited in volume/availability, not because people are hoping they turn out to be a known and highly valued artist of a different name.

I know if I were having a show and were anonymous, I'd most likely queue up and get a real feel for what people thought, before and after seeing the work, but who can say what someone else would do?

Who is Miss Bugs?, by Heavyconsumer on Nov 24, 2008 14:36:02 GMT 1, I have a couple of prints I'd let go at my cost or below. If interested, give me a PM. Judging by past events, the only places you're likely to pick up any future releases are direct (so get on their mailing list) and probably at Art Republic (in very limited volume - a few framed or extra large pieces from smaller editions). Of course Brokklynite will have pieces available at their show too. Good luck.

Who is Miss Bugs?, by burn111 on Jan 21, 2010 2:45:11 GMT 1, 
UK artists Miss Bugs have made an indelible mark on their home country and beyond. We wanted to get into the obviously colorful minds behind Miss Bugs: past, present, and future. This is what we discovered.
Introductions please! Who is Miss Bugs and how did the name come to fruition?
It’s two of us – Miss & Bugs. Girl & Boy… We started MB in early 2007. No big story with the name; we just needed a collective name to work by and it seemed to fit as we used to call each other by these nicknames before we started working together
Where areyou from and where do you live now? Why did you choose this place as home?
Bugs – Bristol was where I was born and grew up
Miss – Born in Wales and moved to Bristol aged 12.
We both moved to London around the same time in 2001. We both have a love for big cities, they kind of engulf you… Not sure if it was our intention to stay in London this long but now we can’t imagine being anywhere else. Maybe we should try Tokyo next.
For us, London is an exciting place. We always come across new things, whether in galleries or on the streets; it’s an endless resource.
How did you start collaborating together? Did you start on the streets and then move to studio work or was it the other way around?
We started collaborating in the pub, I suppose, and we shared similar ideas that we spent many hours talking about. We both had been doing our own work, which we still do and is very different to what we do as Miss Bugs. The initial MB work was made in the studio and was kept in the dark for quite some time before it emerged as Miss Bugs.
Your style is full of contrast: clean animations with dripping paint; colorful bodies with black and white edges. Is this contrast intentional? How would you describe your work style?
We call ourselves image-makers…using images to tell stories from our culture and society, like a photojournalist who captures an already existing narrative.
But we approach our imagery graphically, using collage, stencil, silk-screen and loads of other materials. The contrast in our style has grown and developed over a short period of time. I suppose sometimes it is intentional but along the way you make mistakes, some good and some bad, but either way, they can take you in a new direction, so I like to think it’s always evolving.
Your newer work incorporates a spin technique to splatter and mix colors of paint in a controlled circular manner. Can you comment on this?
Well, we’ve taken and made our spin paintings as a reflection of Damien Hirst’s spin paintings. A lot of our work explores ownership of ideas, working styles, and the relationship and knock-on effect that artists have with one another. Hirst is a master of lifting other people’s creations (in the case of the spin painting it had been done many times before by the likes of Alfons Schilling). The great thing about Hirst is he can take things that have been done many times before, put his stamp on them, and make them iconic
