Just a quick heads up that the signed paul Insect poison books are now avaliable through the Laz inc website..

www.lazinc.com/artists/paul-insect/books/2044/

Here are a few details...signed and numbered copies
(ed 100 deliv. for £48.50) or unsigned (ed 500 deliv. for £23.50)

[Ruggs]

I ordered a signed copy today after seeing one at the show on Saturday. It's a beautiful book. Very well put together. Ideal coffee table piece. I think you even get some groovy stickers as well!

[Argiebaji]

That's great news I haven't seen the book myself but on the strength of the Insect show I also bought a signed one a couple of days ago.....Slightly random rumour about that Kevin Spacey bought the original of 'Star eyes'...is this really true?

[Ruggs]

He did buy a piece, but i'm not sure which one!

[jusdeep]

Spacey was also at Insect's previous show, not sure if he managed to prize a piece from Hirst's smash and grab though.

[Daniel Silk]

I should think out of any artists Insect are gonna do a crackin book ;D

Good to see Laz doing these books for every show now ;D with so much good stuff about its hard to afford everything you see, so books like this give people a chance to at least get a taste of the art.

[dmf]

I can vouch that kevin spacey brought the orignal star eyes for £30,000. I was standing right next to him!

[trasbash]

Just got a signed book. Cant wait to pick this up with the liberty print on Monday.

[jusdeep]

Here she is…



They still have a couple left is anyone wants one.

[Ruggs]

Lovin' it jusdeep. I've wanted that print all year since seeing it at SG07, but recently purchased 'Star Eyes' from POW. Not enough cash for both unfortunately. Enjoy your print it's his best yet.

[giiiant]

i take it that halftone effect around the head looks better in person

[Ruggs]

I've seen one at his show! Yes!

[jusdeep]

The pic doesn't really do the print justice and the half toning around the head looks better full size. To be honest some of Paul's earlier prints have shocking half-tone effects (same as some of Mr B's). I think I still prefer $in for the overall print quality - almost 'chalky' ink if that makes sense. One of my all time favourites of his.

[lostplotter]

That print looks absolute toss, I really hope that its just the photo you've posted, doing it the injustice. I am a massive insect fan and am eagerly awaiting my star eyes special to rock up....seriously, this image since SG07 has been hyped up and now I see it am properly dissappointed.

[Ruggs]

You'll probably feel the same when your special turns up and you'd wish you chose the 150 edition instead!

[arcam]

I gotta admit from that pic I'm not feeling the print at all.

[snakes]

That Lego haircut on her really spoil the print for me..

[rosstierney]

i'd rather frame the postcard

not a patch on star eyes

[Richard]

Did Paul borrow Judith's green highlighter?

[Winter]

Popped into the gallery this afternoon for the signed book which is superb. Also took a quick pic of star eyes for framing inspiration

[Ruggs]

That's the piece Mr Spacey paid 30k for! Lucky bugger! At least I got a print of it!

[Rsyok]

Mind blowing colours, thanks for the pic winter.

[otomi]

you can't go wrong with the book

[howlinhooker]

any pics of the signed book cheers hooker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for posting that photo of star eyes....I cant wait for mine to arrive now... the colours look incredible...and so bright..

I might buy laz a small pot of polly filler. .. if the signed book is as good as I'm hoping...!

[Sacked...]

Poped in yesterday after checking out the Baldwin show ,'pioson' was the better by miles (imho),even the setting was top Paul had obviously taken a lot of effort with the paste up baby heads on the wall and the wall painting in room 2 (now my mob wallpaper),Got the book and spent some time.on the train flicking through and sniffing the inks !!BTW Insect, more or less sold out whilst baldwin had prob sold about a third.

[afroken]

sold out? 10 minutes before the show ended on Saturday I saw 12 unsold pieces in the main room (which was the majority), and 4 in the entrance, and I didn't see any red dots on any of the calendar girls. Fantastic show but the price point was ludicrous.

[Sacked...]

Mayb i was hallucinating !There was a rumour going round that the usa was gonna buy them up so as not to undermine confidence in the art market !!
