Do you like to think you are a follower of art? Do you like to think you are that little bit better than that commoner just because you know a thing or two about art? But you can’t afford it? I know I do! But now you can have a little bit of something special to show off to your friends.

Banksy was in New York and writer/photographer Ray Mock was the ultimate companion to Banksy’s month-long project on the streets of New York back in October, 2013.

Mock has been documenting street art and graffiti in New York and around the world for many years. His photography has appeared in numerous books (including Graffiti 365 and Banksy: You Are an Acceptable Level of Threat) and magazines. He is also a regular contributor to the arts and culture website Juxtapoz.

‘Banksy in New York’ offers a first-hand day-by-day account of the residency and many of the events surrounding the daily hunt for new pieces. The author is as much a fan as a critic of the artist’s work and delivers his account in the form of a personal narrative that is by turns insightful and humorous, paying homage to Banksy’s wit and creativity while challenging the artist – and his detractors – to consider the true impact of his work.

The book features over 120 photos and illustrations on 120 pages and is available in a limited edition of 2,000 with a screenprinted front cover. They’re going quick!
