my fellow south londoners

illustrations by Tom Humberstone

Another Drumz friend attempting to change our perceptions of the world, is Lower End Spasm's Dan Hancox (aka the preacher man due to the parallels between him and Nathan Barley's Dan Ashcroft character), who along with his artist buddy Tom Humberstone has admirably self-published a book of their quest to document the run-up to the U.S Presidential Election.

Having randomly bumped into Dan on Balham High Street today, I only just got my copy, but managed to get it signed as a reminder not to burn it this winter when I have no money to heat my flat because of the credit crunch. Jokes. Thanks to the longness of the 249 bus to Palace on a Saturday I've read a few chapters already and can confidentally recommend it to anyone interested in U.S politics or simply, the musings of 2 funny young blokes from London on what sounds like a very, interesting, comical and slightly terrifying adventure. Failing that, it also falls into the much loved category of 'Book with Pictures,' with Humberstone's beautiful illustrations giving it an unbelievably graphic novel quality. Much respect to Dan and Tom for ingenuity and creativity.
