Just a heads up... think they are ok.... but prefer the Joe Black on!


Hi

We have a few of the prints from the 'Shiv Identity Crisis' show still available and we would like to give everybody the chance to purchase, as we have had many
enquires from overseas and far away!!!

So we are going to make some pieces available online from M-city, Slinkachu and Joe Black over the next couple of weeks.

But 1st up we'll be making the last few pieces from the Miss Bugs 40 piece original available - 'Dirty Art Holding Hands with Politics'. Now this is going to be a little tricky as each
piece is completely different. So, as we are using a pay-pal shopping cart you need to just decide if you would like a pair or one single ...

Once payment has been made we will email you with a picture of your allocated piece. If you are not happy with your allocated piece we will do our best to offer you a second choice if still available. If not we will refund you immediately - all pieces will be allocated on Tuesday 12th and each buyer will be contacted by Tuesday the 12th


We will sort though the orders straight away and contact everybody with confirmation asap.....

AVAILABLE NOW - www.shivgallery.com

Each piece is 4 colour stencil / sticker collage / and 1 colour silk screen on aluminum (50x75cm) -
NO TWO ARE THE SAME, So it 1st come 1st server
Each piece comes with co-ordinates and a map!!!
£380 +p&p

Please be patient as this is a slightly difficult piece to sell online, but we'll try and do everything possible to make it run smoothly.

Thanks
Shiv

Yea and I imagine it's going to sit there a long while at those prices.

i do like miss bugs, especially the superhero stuff but its going a bit mental, l like where they started with things like diamond carrot etc. Although i do think the pieces from brooklynite gallery will be very cool.

That Joe black stuff is brilliant, just wish it was not so damn expensive.

[moleman]

i like the miss bugs thins it really good got best bits of art from alot of artist its bright and eye catching bit steep mind

[grantb]

this is great and the price aint that bad considering the piece. its got original spray paint wth sticker collage which is really nice. great to see our fav works in a piece.

[grantb]

Not at all, don't be ridiculous! Personally I do like their work and the only thing I can say to counter you plagiarism call is, for all the ripping of other peoples' images, you show me another artist who's work has the same feel or concept as MB. I think their concept is quite defined and even dare I say it, quite unique. Their use of existing iconic images is very deliberate and an integral part of their medium and part of what makes their work distinct in its' own way imo. Plagiarism is rife throughout art in general and especially this genre. I feel personally, that so long as the work itself as a whole isn't plagiaristic (is there such a word?), that it's integrity cannot be questioned for the originality of some of it's components. These characters are I hink supposed to represent our comfort, our familiarity and perhaps at times our acceptance. I think the only line I typed of any relevance was the first one really - I'll shut up if you can show me comparable work by any semi-established artist. ;D

Strangely, I'm not a massive fan of this particular offering from MB, I find this piece a little bit overkill somehow. Good luck to all those who do buy though, I hope you love it when it arrives! I also like the Joe Black stuff. Not sure I'd buy his work, but I do enjoy flcking through the images on his site.

Very nicely reasoned

Only just spotted these

£380 thats cheap aint it! I would think they would sell out in seconds for that price.

"4 colour stencil, sticker collage /silk-screen on aluminum"

When I saw them in the gallery I was expecting them to be for between £500-£1,000

its because they have not been hyped silky...

the power of playing people by the galleries eh!

[etched]

excellent work-

[Gentle Mental]

ms bugs is the most exciting talent now.

dirty and raw as hell but not obscene.

like the obama backdrop - speaks the state of the scene we have right now.

[Winter]

Interesting but I'm still not convinced by MB. I just think another of the artists that will come and go.

[Gentle Mental]

(sorry... old joke)
