Me and my kickstarter, selling prints of my hometown, my capital city, my london
This guy has been busking on the Portobello Road for as long as I can remember which admittedly isn’t that long but its definitely been years. He isn’t the cheeriest of chaps but he is out there in rain or shine, plucking away at those thick strings with one hand and bashing the body with his other one to create stripped down rockabilly tracks for passing tourists. I’m not I have ever seen him smile and I have never seen him speak to anyone. He feels like a lonely soul and when you see him walk down the street with this large heavy cumbersome instrument that is bigger than he is, it is difficult for me not to see it as a physical embodiment on the outside of a burden he is carrying on the inside. A literal weight on his shoulders.
