Any idea on price?

Have we ever figured out who Miss Bugs is? I always thought it was Paul or Static or Prefab? or possibly a combination of all of them... Anyone?

€1,900 and €2,400

I can say with certainty it isn't Static or Prefab, but I don't know who it is.

[Ottomatik]

It’s not Pins either.
In the beginning of MB, they were heavily influenced by him. They reappropriated his work often, like they have been with MC Escher and Hirst lately.

I dont think its been mentioned on here yet but it looks like you can see/register for these and see some other work by PINS for sale at a pop-up show in Hackney from Thursday and over the weekend

This looks interesting...Clockwork Britain T-Shirt maybe?



And the Rolex plastic bag

Love the blue 👌

Main edition is lovely!

[sevrin]

These are absolutely stunning, leaning towards the 'blue', hoping to make it along to the unveiling on Thursday, so I'll take some pics.

[mojo]

Look forward to seeing this tomorrow evening, I may have to go in disguise and bring security along to avoid any disgruntled forum nutters

[xite]

I was going to attend this actually. See what the chat is like face to face… low expectations

Hopefully dface isn't - be a bit awkward if he just buggered off halfway through!

Bit of queue but not too bad

[kjg]

Have fun all, looking forward to some cool pics!

Just got my pre order details for the prints. I’m not interested buying these as I only wanted to see the unique items (but I couldn’t get to London in time).

If anyone was looking to secure a print, make sure you do before the people who had not attended snap them up.

I wish they gave the first option to those who attended the event and didn’t try and do pre sales beforehand.

Why share?

Another pretty impressive execution by Make-Ready. The technical quality of the prints they are putting out with AA is really top notch (artistic quality aside, as that is subjective).

I will repeat what I said again:

“If anyone was looking to secure a print, make sure you do before the people who had not attended snap them up.”

I personally don’t believe they should do pre sales at the same time they are holding an event that people have taken the time and effort to travel to. Apologies for thinking of other people. 😀

[gmidd]

Agreed! I just checked out the pics/video on the preorder page and the execution on this one is incredibly impressive. Can't imagine figuring out how to screenprint all of those raised dots was easy. Wish I had the extra funds to order a blue one because I'd love to see it in person.

It’s a great color. Broadens the mind.

Would be nice if they sent out preorders to previous buyers

Oh well
