Josh Surtees

Sabotaging since 12 Dec 2010

As a child Josh Surtees dreamed of one day being a very bad person (a football hooligan or drug baron). Now in his early 30s, his dreams dashed, he has turned his attention to a higher calling - irreverent iconoclastic prose. When he's not pissed or moaning about stuff Josh is a feature writer, photographer and arts critic for the Guardian and Camden New Journal. His London Loves blog lovesoflondon.blogspot.com has been described as "genius", his UNCUNT blog uncunted.blogspot.com has been described as "libellous"". He is a notable photographer of housing estates; a genre he has labelled, somewhat pretentiously, as the 'anthropology of urban communities'. If you're looking for a writer skilled in the art of writing bitter, inflammatory articles often containing the word "cunt", Josh is your man..
