I canโt support someone who attacks small businesses and peopleโs livelihoods. But if it was Banksy tags ... ? ๐
In that case instead of an attacking it could be considered as an attraction. They would spend their money on Perspex and wait for new more costumers to visit the place. Which is good for them

Stanley Donwoodโs book is outstanding so far. Iโm halfway through it - heโs a great author and of course Iโm a big fan of the artwork. Gives great insight into the creative process.

There's no poster, but the book is in excellent condition, and a great little book highlighting Stik's work.
I will gladly ship to you UK only.

He doesn't mention if he'll sign any books, but he did sign all preorders for the previous book Outdoors. In any case, IMO Aryz is an artist worth supporting.

Thank you for posting.
Haven't purchased this yet, but intend to.
If a mere cover image can prompt others to do the same and even read a few pages, then that's a, er, win in my, er, book.
I would encourage members to keep an eye on the author, Lily Cole*.
Over the years, she has repeatedly impressed me. Just the fact she co-owns a book shop* should speak, er, volumes. Her response in 2018 to criticism for being chosen as a creative partner at the Brontรซ Parsonage Museum to commemorate the bicentenary of Emily Brontรซ's birth was also beautifully handled:
www.nme.com/news/lily-cole-hits-back-at-critics-in-bronte-society-row-2206662
www.lilycole.com/what-would-emily-bront-think
__________
As for the subject matter of Cole's book, it appears comparable to one I highly recommend:
Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress by the rather brilliant Steven Pinker
www.amazon.co.uk/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress/dp/0525427570
Here's a 2018 news interview with Pinker. The clip is superficial and brief (7:47), but still offers a reasonable overview and has the advantage of accessibility:
Steven Pinker Discusses 'Enlightenment Now'
- uploaded by WGBH News on 15 May 2018
And just in case anyone requires further evidence of the present culture war between liberals and illiberals, even Pinker โ who's about as thoughtful and levelheaded as a person can get โ has recently been targeted by disingenuous "offence archeology" and the cretinism that is cancel culture. At the risk of being accused of hyperbole, this would arguably place us in the latter stages of First They Came.
__________
Returning to Lily Cole, before promptly going off on another tangent, she's a helpful reminder of how great a band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are.
