The First Edition was published in February 2024.

In 2015, Josh Jeffery launched Mugshawtys, a platform dedicated to showcasing archived American female mugshots along with details of their crimes in the caption. This initiative extends across Twitter and Instagram, with daily updates.

Over the years, Mugshawtys has not only curated a compelling archive but its community has also actively contributed to bailing out multiple girls caught in legal entanglements.

Now, the Mugshawtys book, edited and designed by Pouria Khojastehpay and featuring an introduction by casting director Jennifer Venditti of JV8INC – renowned for her work on projects like Euphoria, Uncut Gems, and more – stands as the inaugural and official publication of this widely popular social media account, serving as a testament to its impact and influence.

Hockneys Pictures

David Hockney

All his pictures—sometimes tender, as when he draws close friends and family; sometimes playful, as in his paintings of lazy, carefree days at the pool; sometimes awe-inspiring, as with his monumental images of the Grand Canyon—convey what it means to be in the world, to see it, to move in it, to love it.

Specifications - Paperback. 496 pages.
