Lewis Hobson is an artist from Durham in the North East of England with a background in graffiti who now specialises in community mural art. This book is dedicated to his journey, alongside that of the art form itself: from underground sub-culture born onto the subway of New York in 1960/70s to what is now a globally popular culture, with large scale mural art being an important way for communities to express their identity.
