Shitty Gritty London Vol. 1
A 400 page visual essay, including photography, poster designs, interviews and creative writing to create a portrait of London life today.
This is Shitty Gritty London. This is real life. Here Big Ben is a drug dealer in Kilburn, the London Eye is a CCTV camera on a lamp post in Greenwich, and the Shard is found by the broken window of some Chicken Cottage in Lewisham. Here the sky is grey and the streets are dirty. Here people struggle. They struggle every fucking second of every fucking day. They travel miles to get to a job that doesn’t even pay half their rent. They pass toffs who turn their noses up at just about anything worth less than their fuck-off cars. This is about what they think. This is about the shit they leave behind. This is what you’ve seen but didn’t want to see.
This is a limited run.
Each book is hand-bound, signed and numbered by me. Printed on Nautilus' premium, recycled, uncoated paper by Panopus Printing (London). Cover is soft-touch matte, with steel inforcement. Binding is hand-bound coptic stitch.
