"Banksy in New York" Book, by Carnage NYC on Aug 1, 2014 14:30:20 GMT 1,

I am proud to announce the release of Banksy in New York, the ultimate companion to Banksy's month-long project on the streets of New York in October, 2013.

As some of you know from following me on Flickr or Instagram, I have been shooting Banksy’s work around the world for many years. Banksy’s return to New York for his Better out than in project coincided with a “strategic restructuring” at my work … so I was free to get photos of most of the pieces and was there for many of the incidents that defined the residency.

Banksy in New York offers a first-hand day-by-day account of the residency: the defacement and removal of several pieces, reactions from neighbors and building owners and interactions between Banksy’s fans and foes. I tried to put Banksy’s work into the context of street art and graffiti in New York and to round it out, I got help from some expert contributors, such as photographer Luna Park and Flip the Script author Christian Acker. The result, I hope, is more than just a collection of images, but a comprehensive look at the impact Banksy’s work had on New York for that one month.

And just to be totally clear: Banksy was not involved in the making of this book, and not a single dollar will go to any water charity. But I hope if he reads it he’ll get a laugh out of it. And hopefully so will you. In any case, I had a lot of fun working on this book and I really look forward to your feedback.
