Paul Insect and Bast in London, by Happy Shopper on Mar 4, 2015 13:03:35 GMT 1, I've been following the pair of them on Instagram over the last few days and their posts have been getting better and better.
These are so great, they deserve their own thread! 
Edit: for some reason embedding the videos isn't working! (Like most functions on here at the moment)

MB is two people. PINS isn't. There was some speculation that PINS might be one half of MB some time ago. Never went beyond speculation as far as I am aware.

Paul Insect and Bast in London, by twist65 on Mar 4, 2015 13:50:08 GMT 1, "like" - agree their latest antics totally deserve their own thread, laughed my ass off at the last 2 vids especially. Always look forward to when they hook up as there's normally some awesome street work or daftness as a result posted on instagram. These videos are next level though! =]

Yes. 'Insect' was a design studio (Luke and Paul) that did a bunch of record sleeves, and seemed to often work with Banksy on the illustrations.
The early prints are a collaboration between Luke and Paul, but at some point they stopped working together and went their separate ways...
... as far as i know!

lukeinsect.tumblr.com/
There was also another member of Insect, who's name I can't put my finger on - a Scandinavian lad who also is an artist and did a show at Laz Newcastle a couple of years back, lots of pop-arty nice anodized metal pieces. His son is also the kid in Paul Insects' DJ Shadow images. Can't remember his name though, I have a catalogue somewhere..
As for Miss Buggs, as Coach said it was always rumoured that Paul Insect was the Buggs from Miss Buggs, not sure if that ever got confirmed though..

Insect was a design studio run by Paul and Luke, which I think they knocked on the head to pursue their solo art projects. Luke Insect also does some lovely stuff, seems he has taken down his website but his tumblr thingy is here lukeinsect.tumblr.com/There was also another member of Insect, who's name I can't put my finger on - a Scandinavian lad who also is an artist and did a show at Laz Newcastle a couple of years back, lots of pop-arty nice anodized metal pieces.

I think that's Joe Black... again, could be wrong, but the styles are super similar.

Their videos always put a smile on my face. It's refreshing to see artists with serious talent not take themselves too seriously. |

I've seen pics from people who've visited Bast's studio and seen the big heads and stuff were there.
Paul said in a recent interview that him and Bast are planning something together, so lets wait and see!

Paul Insect and Bast in London, by twist65 on Mar 4, 2015 18:19:56 GMT 1, they've been spending a lot of time together lately, hope so - I love them both individually but they often seem to bring the best out in each other when they double up.. Hopefully they'll do a feature film, I could watch a couple of hours worth of these recent vids =]

I forgot to mention the print is "How now clown mau". Will definitely be looking for more PINS prints, kicking myself for not buying the one from his recent show.
