Conceived and curated by Native Californian Neely Shearer, In Heroes We Trust: Street Artists and Their Heroes features the musings and artworks of 60 international artists on the theme of heroism. After reading the elegantly engaging book — with its foreword by Ron English and preface by Jef Aerosol – I posed a few questions to Neely.

Knock Knock’s newest book, In Heroes We Trust: Street Artists and Their Heroes, hit shelves this summer. In Heroes We Trust features the work and inspirations of art’s unsung heroes—street artists from around the world. In Heroes We Trust’s namesake is a boutique, owned and run by the book’s visionary and curator, Neely Shearer. The boutique nestles itself a few steps away from the hustle and bustle of Abbot Kinney (and down the street from Knock Knock’s Venice Beach, California abode).
