OK so we have all heard about DJ 'mashups' - but two London street art artists are doing a mashup collaboration style thing too - and the result ROCKS.
MISS BUGS & PURE EVIL (whose kick ass 'Pearly Kings & Queens' have already featured on TH) are both releasing a print on the 10th April - then they are also releasing a 'mashup' of the two prints combined. BRILLIANT idea, and one that is already generating a lot of online buzz.
It is available from the 10th of April at the Pure Evil Gallery or online. You can also buy the two prints that comprise of the 'mashup' / collaboration. Viewed as a triptic the result is brilliant, with all three of the prints very strong, which is testament to skill of both of these guys.
