ROA, SICKBOY, ESPO - PENQUIN BOOK COVERS., by Sacked... on Jun 11, 2013 15:20:56 GMT 1, From Hooked Blog :
For the Penguin Street Art Series ten world-renowned street artists were asked to create distinct new covers for contemporary classics, producing a bespoke edition set of contemporary fiction with an urban edge that is a must for any bookworm or streetart lovers. Books in the series include Mohsin Hamid's The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Jonathan Coe's What a Carve up!, Nick Hornby's How to be Good and William Boyd's Armadillo. The ten artists who were invited to create the covers included 45RPM, Sickboy, ROA, ESPO, The Yok, DAIN, Barn, Agostino, Dr Henry Jekyll and Mittenimwald.

ROA, SICKBOY, ESPO - PENQUIN BOOK COVERS., by Feral Things on Jun 11, 2013 19:00:03 GMT 1, That would explain what this slightly random Sickboy tag and this wall were all about:
I love Sickboy's handstyle and these covers look great. I know the old adage about not judging a book by its cover but strangely some of these are enough to make me want to pick up books I've previously overlooked. Some of the pairings seem a little odd though. I'd have thought they could have matched Sickboy's religious references with something like Go Tell It On The Mountain or his references to love and redemption with something like Crime and Punishment.

Notice that 'And the ass saw the angel' is in there; this already had a 'street art' makeover with a Banksy cover a few years ago. Penguin are really going down a more contemporary route, well done them.

Still worthy of a wee bump Steve.
