Paul Insect: As rare as Hen's Teeth?, by jusdeep on Aug 1, 2010 8:19:24 GMT 1, I have been thinking for quite some time that Paul Insect has an awful lot of prints and editions I personally have never seen, even on the secondary market and thought it would be interesting to see if anyone has anything of interest to show.

By this I mean I've seen pretty much every Banksy print under the sun sold at some stage, but Paul's early work seems a lot rarer and few and far between. For example: I had never seen his anatomical print set until recently when Laz had a few for sale. Are people holding on to his early works or are they just sitting in a folio somewhere/on people's walls?

I first came across Paul's work many years ago, mostly because I liked his and Luke's design work and had an interest in street art. You could find early prints like Frankenstein, Shooting targets, Sex Toys, Wasp Melt and others in that series, The Executioner, Hills Have Eyes, POW Skulls occasionally come up on Ebay. But there are many collages and prints I have only seen in photos or on the net.

Here's a few examples…








And there apparently was an AP of this Sex Toy printed on holographic paper?

Also, I can't find the picture but I think a group show in the US had a small print with silhouettes of animals with red badge with $in and various other things written on them.

Any thoughts? Or if anyone would care to share something of interest?
