We sell books that document what happened. That's it.
The story
Steve Lazarides was the person closest to Banksy from 1997 to 2008. He took 10,000 photos on 250 rolls of film. This is what remains.
He wasn't building an archive. He was getting the shot before they had to run. The archive happened by accident — 250 rolls of film stuffed in boxes, burner phones in drawers, stencils behind bins.
We sell these books because Steve originally wanted everyone to own art. Priced fairly. Packaged properly. No pretension, no mythology. Just documentation of what went down.
