Paul Insect 🇬🇧 Contemporary Artist • New Release

[ThursdayFeeling]

Insect has been around for a while and they/he have/has released a lot of prints in the past. Colourways of the same image.

At the prices POW are charging now for the new prints do we now need to be considering investment potential ?

By adding a few £'s it's still possible to purchase an unsigned Banksy from Ebay which are likely to go up in value.

£ for £ - Unsigned Banksy or signed Insect for investment?

[Run Pig Run]

get a flag for £400 odd. The insect prices are sick.

[Daniel Silk]

;D Insect has done some really quality pieces over the last couple of years and with Paul Insects show coming up at Lazinc, I guess POW are building up to it by releasing these few pieces. I guess the prices are a big jump up from what we are used to but who knows what the prices will be after a Lazinc show

[carlito]

have to say though..not super impressed by these latest pieces and at the prices quoted...glad i didn't give in to my 'buy it, and worry later' urges

[johnerotten]

2 Sex Toy prints available as of this moment on POW. that crap ain't going into my basket.

looks like a rorshach test on LSD gone wrong.

[weeble]

Sex toy prints sold out already!?!

[Run Pig Run]

from what I can make out this is a naked man with a strap on dildo in a fez with a clown mask on bent down for some scat action....horrible, ugly, expensive and meaningless.

Not too impressed with them to be honest, Skull looks cool but that's about it.

My take on the image is a person in a farked up mask is masturbating with an machine gun!

The messsage... People get off killing...? I dunno.

Not to my liking, but i wish I got the Red Skull.

later

Hey Paul is cool I have "The Kid" and a signed "Claw Forest" (very under rated print cool as hell in flesh) his stuff is very well done but comparing the two isn't really fair. I mean banksy vs Insect for me isn't even an arguement. Banksy's images cary a strong message and are achieved through a minimalistic approach. Paul's images are just not the same they are tightly done i mean the kid is cool as hell but its a differnt style almost all together. For me I will take a Banksy anyday. Banksy is the king of promotion so he has a big head start on Paul regarding popularity and demand from an investment point of view. No offense Paul I know your out there .

What the difference between the US and the Foreign edition, or Is it the same and is just about where you want it dispatched to?

[manchestermike]

I think it's where it is dispatched to

[bones]

yeah, no difference, just destination for delivery (and therefore price of mag!)

[mido]

Just been over the POW towers today ;D

They also have an Insect stamp as well now (like the POW stamp). It comes out looking like a beetle. Very cool. You might get it on some Insect prints if you order.

[bige]

mmmmm

Sounds cool ;D

[twigboy]

Have seen on POW that the screen prints insect did for Santas Ghetto are
now available... I wonder if they will have the new stamp.?
3 new screen prints ltd to 60 each

[Daniel Silk]

Hi Ya GoldenGoose,

Welcome to the Forum

Insect does some brilliant work ;D

I'm always amazed by the detail of the prints

[twigboy]

Yeah... I've got Claw Forest and a $in print and there amazing... I got them framed.
Those news ones look great... Missed out on J&J

[Daniel Silk]

I have got a Skull print in orange ;D I'm amazed that they have not sold out yet as they have been printed in such low numbers compared to Banksy

I was just thinking about getting one of the $in prints myself Do you have the yellow on white paper or a coloured one?

If anyone is thinking about buying any piece by Insect, go for it!

[twigboy]

A yellow on white... The detail is great... Totally Schizophrenic.

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, I think I will get myself one of those

look pretty cool

I have been so busy, so can't remember who I told about my recent purchases. I got a red skull (8 from 10) and a yellow one. My Sin one was the yellow one - it is genuinely stunning - a lot of effort has gone into it. Insect is the most prolific and important artist at POW at the moment I reckon.

A lot of people only buy Banksy, or Hewlett. Many people don;t explore all the other artists.

[mido]

here it is...... nice!

[Daniel Silk]

Yeah, I have been buying a from a few different artists like D*Face, Cauty, Nick Walker, Insect, Hewlett, Adam Neate, Fowler, Burgerman errrr anymore? no, thats the lot

Yeah, I hope People do start to try out a few other artists as well as Banksy ;D

[twigboy]

Yeah, nice Stamp... Hope its on those new dope sex, guns & clown prints?!?!

[steph]

Yeah it is on the new sex toy prints... which by the way look amazing in the flesh. Really good quality gloss paper, 5 colour print beautifully executed, embosse with the POW stamp and numbered in silver pen and have the Insect embosser next to it... mmm

oh and Eine has the British rail logo as his new embosser...

D*Face embosser is work in progress...

[steph]

On the subject of Eine he has a new print about to go on the site... 27 different colours witha black gloss printed over the top 3 times... embossed with the british rail logo, embossed with POW stamp and numbered and signed in silver... it is an epic print and is a progression in screen printing... he printed it himself and bridges the gap between a screen print and an original work of art... FYI!
