The Miss Bugs partnership consists of two people - boy & girl - Miss & Bugs. The partnership do not label themselves as an artist or a street artist, but prefer to call themselves image makers. Using images to tell stories and reflect ideas, much as a photojournalist embodies a narrative with photographs. Whoever this mysterious partnership is, their works sell out instantly on release and the recent solo show at Ink D in Brighton had collectors queuing through the night to get the latest coveted works.

To understand a bit about Pure Evil it is illuminating to know that he is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who wrote the controversial work Utopia and who was later beheaded by King Henry VIII. With this busy background (Sir Thomas was later canonised) it is only natural that Pure Evil should explore the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief in the life-changing event that brings history with all its conflicts to an end.
In 1990 PURE EVIL left the Poll Tax Riots of London behind and went to live in California where he spent 10 years ingesting weapons grade psychedelics , thinking about stuff , making electronic music and printing t-shirts . Inspired by skateboard culture and the west coast character graffiti of Twist he returned to London and picked up a spraycan and started painting weird fanged vampire bunnies everywhere.
