10Foot takes over The Big Issue
Featuring an exclusive interview with TOX by Banksy, 10Foot has taken over The Big Issue in the magazine’s first ever full artist takeover in its 35 year history.
10Foot has even been allowed to change the magazine's font, saying, "I can't believe it. A mainstream magazine has let me turn an entire issue into an anarchist zine. I feel like Long John Silver at the helm of a cruise ship.”
“10Foot is a unique individual. It says much for his thinking and approach that he can bring in Banksy – one of the most famous names on the planet – and give him the same billing as a local London Indian restaurant.” - Paul McNamee, Big Issue’s UK editor

In control from cover to cover, 10Foot has truly put his mark on the issue, which features an exclusive interview of the country’s ‘most imprisoned’ graffiti writer, TOX, conducted by the most famous street artist in history, Banksy. Also featured is a poem by Kneecap star DJ Próvaí, a politically involved activist and graffiti artist Fume’s second ever interview.
The 10Foot Big Issue special goes on sale Monday, the 17th of March, across the UK, with all proceeds going to help homelessness in the UK.
Who is 10Foot?
London-based British graffiti artist 10Foot is a well-known but anonymous figure who gained fame for his distinct "10Foot" tag, seen across London's public infrastructure and even internationally in cities like Mexico City, Bogotá, and Kuwait. Although elusive, his tags frequently appear on train stations, railway bridges, and other urban locations, cementing his reputation among graffiti enthusiasts and the public alike. His work is characterised by bold, straightforward tags that resonate with a rebellious ethos, often appearing on prominent commuter lines and high-visibility areas throughout London.
