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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wax-melts1) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Art Mashup Collaboration:** The fusion of two or more artists' styles into a singular piece or collection presents unique opportunities for hybridized creativity within the art world. - **Print Release Events:** Releasing prints exclusively as a part of an in-person or virtual event creates a sense of urgency and exclusivity within the consumer base. - **Online Art Buzz:** Social media and online platforms can greatly aid in generating hype and exposure for artists' collaborative works. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fine Art:** Fine art institutions and galleries have the opportunity to recognize and curate these hybridized art movements and foster their growth. - **Event Planning:** Creating unique and exclusive print release events for visual artists can yield strong marketing and sales opportunities for event planners. - **Social Media Marketing:** Marketing and public relations professionals can leverage social media to increase hype and exposure for artists' collaborative efforts and assist in maintaining their online presence. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Charitable Collaborative Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-the-smoke-clears.md) - [Artist-Envisioned Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artist-collaboration-series.md) - [Battle-Style Art Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-competition.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Experimental Streetwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-4.md) - [Pizza-Centric Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-sunny-and-pizza-unlock.md) - [Celebratory Hip-Hop Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hiphop-collaboration.md) - [Street Art Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frieze-los-angeles.md)
