This is the first monograph on the artist, edited and by artist Harrell Fletcher, with a discussion between Fletcher and White Columns director Matthew Higgs, and an introduction by Patterson-Carver

Self-taught artist Michael Patterson-Carver's drawings are a candid and direct look at politics, satirising power-mongers, and celebrating ordinary men and women working for change through direct action and demonstrations. The latter are always smiling, filling the picture plane, topped by placards voicing their demands, hopes and desires. They smile because, according to the artist, they are quite sure of their success.
