On 10 November 2010, over 50,000 students and lecturers from across the United Kingdom marched in London against the coalition government’s plans to increase university fees.
The march eventually reached Millbank Tower – once the Labour party’s headquarters – now home to the Conservative party.
Some people managed to get to the roof. One person had [...]
For those of you aware of my latest project, a documentary on Indian cotton farmer suicides, pesticides and fashion tentatively called Dirty White Gold, you’ll be aware I’ve re-edited a new taster for it.
Since I put it out at the beginning of September, there’s been a little press buzz around it as well as a [...]
Billboard vandal and drinker of tea Dr D plies his trade in a West London warehouse nestled in a landscape of railway lines, telephone poles and refrigerator graveyards.
When we meet, he is ankle deep in cut-out letters, spraymount and a scattering of UK election campaign propaganda. He’s recently finished a two-storey high paste up [...]

My latest piece for Juxtapoz Magazine is a feature on London’s Miss Bugs.
It’s strange because although I really like them as people, I know they’re capable of better work than what’s being produced. I wish they’d shake the fear of being labeled political and actually embrace that element in their work – collage and [...]
This weekend, Mutate Britain asked kennardphillipps to revamp one of their more recent works Fucking Waste of Money for their Robin Hood Tax event at London’s Cordy House.
Fucking Waste of Money looks a bit like this:
They erected the picture on Thursday – the same day my erstwhile companjero, Sky News’ Niall Paterson, took these photos [...]
Dr D’s swipe at this year’s election campaign continues unabated. This time it’s on a billboard at the M4/A312 junction in London.
Of his latest stick ‘em up he’s said: “I never thought I could cram in a reference to WWII graffiti, a has-been chat show host and a suspect political party on one board [...]
I’m making a film. A virginal effort. I wrote an article for Who’s Jack last autumn. I was then invited on a press trip to India with Pants to Poverty. At this time, I was at the Frontline Club on a course with documentary Claire Lewis. I told her about the trip and she shoved [...]
Who would win in a fight between a baboon and a badger?
A question posed to the leader of the opposition, David Cameron, by the Brighton Argus.
