10Foot - A406
'Absolutely the bollocks’ - Goldie
A406 is a story of going out painting graffiti on London's North Circular road by 10Foot.
Next time some red-faced posh bloke squawks “What goes on inside their bloody heads?” while peering through the train window at all the monumental trackside tags, we should drop a copy of this into his soup stained lap. Because this book, a poetic text flow from inside the head of the most prolific UK graffiti writer ever, explains it.
‘Prolific’ isn’t a big enough word to contain his graffiti output anymore. 10Foot is post-prolific, omni-prolific, reaching the point where to keep taking space and getting up he might have to start tagging over his own tags.
His recent guest-edited Big Issue was their first complete editorial takeover and has become their best-selling issue of all time. His recent show 'Long Dark Tunnel' was a critical hit and sold out immediately, its closure was eventually forced by The Crown Estate.
In over 25 years of selling books, literally millions of books, I’ve never sold one for £13.12, but that’s the price for this one, 1312 being the numeric version of the acronym ACAB, All Cops Are Bastards. A commendable editorial decision. Although I expect once these sell out it will become considerably more second hand. Cop a copy or two now!
