Do you fancy wandering the streets of London looking for graffiti,
especially that from Bristol's finest son, Banksy?
Or do you prefer just sitting at home in your comfy chair (slippers and
pipe optional, but highly recommended in these days of weapons of mass
destruction...), looking at photos of his street work and reading a bit
about them?
This book lets you do either.
Follow my street tours or make your own DIY tour. Collect all the
locations like a geek, or just wander around a bit, stop at pubs, have a
fag, and hope to cop a glance into a strip joint (as one tour member
proudly told me they had). Or just flick through the book whilst on the
crapper. It's all up to you.
The book takes you through 3 tours of Banksy graffiti in London, tells you
where each piece is (including postcodes and map/GPS references!), what
they look like, a bit of history, some of my photos, the current status of
the graffiti (as of about October 2006), and odd mentions of local
landmarks such as pubs, markets and tattoo joints.
Don't expect pseudo-intellectual ramblings in this book on what this
graffiti all means, how the Banksy phenomenon has taken off, who he is, who
he isn't, why my grandmother looks a bit like Arsene Wenger, or what the
difference is between graffiti and street art. I'm not that interested in
intellectualising all this. I'll let you decide what it means to you.
