Martin Bull is a photographer, author and street walker, and wants to share his graffiti knowledge with you, rather than keep it a secret.
He’s been involved in publications on & off for many years, but ‘Banksy Locations & Tours’ was his first properly published work, which became a DIY favourite all over the world (although a so-called friend said that that was just vanity publishing anyway).
10% of his royalties are being donated to The Big Issue Foundation (UK registered charity no. 1049077) which does excellent work to assist homeless people, enabling them to gain control of their lives and achieve greater self-reliance and independence.
Over £25,000 has been donated so far, from various fundraising activities.
His website is dedicated to Les, a Big Issue seller he met in Bristol. Chatting to him reminded Martin to never judge a book by its cover, and to take time out to listen to people. He has to remind himself of this all the time though!
