GA, you truly ARE the Founder of the Feast.
Can’t wait to get my copy……..and I trust that there are enough great ideas for an additional
volume (or two) in the future. Thanks for letting us get in on the ground floor.
Onward and upward.

Would you be able to feature my parents cafe in the book? Gina’s Cafe, 17 Bethnal Green Road. It would be a great tribute and it was featured as part of your shop front story several years ago? Thanks Helen

This book is right up my street (forgive the pun), it’s great to see some more contemporary artists like Jock McFadyen included too. I can’t wait to receive a copy, wonderful stuff.

If you are ordering for overseas delivery do let Gentle Author know the destination country so postal rates may be activated and order placed 🙂

Greetings from Boston,

GA, another project to promote the artists of the East End and their works for posterity with East End Vernacular. Wish you the best in that endeavor.

I particularly enjoyed “Harold Steggles – Old Ford Rd c.1932.” Reminds me of the American realist artist Edward Hopper (1882-1967) who did similar paintings about the same time.

Nearing my 93rd birthday and in reasonable health, I can’t find words for your wonderful work, gentle author, and everyone involved in this superb new venture. My connection to the area goes back to grandparents’ generation as immigrants in c. 1900. I’m still glowing with delight…..a treasure and gift beyond words. Wish I could invest but hope and imagine there won’t be any difficulty on that account.

This is such a wonderful project. It’s about time that this work was more widely available. You’ve introduced us to so many neglected artists who were inspired by the East End. I can’t wait for my copy to arrive. Good luck with the fund raising.

A good road show today by GA, Friederike and contributing artists. This is my kind of art a portrayal of our world in particular the East End an area of beauty in a different way. These paintings are more durable than photos the detail can be incredible and in time will be very collectable & future proof a time to invest. War artists have given us a historic account of many wars & hostilities, sad some with their lives, painting this ‘ brand’ of art. Their presentations in National Collections are proof of this. Poet John – PS I’m a fan of the ‘matchstick men’ by you know who. I hope artistic people around this world of ours, will read this and perhaps visit the East End of London. !Could be game on for you.
