Outsiders - Art by People

Compiled by Steve Lazarides, this book is a collection of artworks which he admires by people who have not taken the traditional route to artistic fame. 
The art work shown in this book is truly incredible, ranging from 'graffiti' to simple sketchbook pages, installations and the just plain weird. This book has given me a lot of inspiration over the past year I have owned it, it shows that you do not have to be rich or famous to produce incredible work - in most cases these artists have opted not to have their work publicly shown in galleries etc, maybe because they want their work to purely be appreciated for what it is and not for it to have a name tag attached. Our friend Banksy would be proud.
