The visionary world of Nicholas Beckett
…..as to how we got here.
A friend bought me this book while visiting him in Gothenburg. The covers had fallen off, but I noticed that it was missing a few illustrations, so I was wondering if it was worth it. I did an internet search , but couldn’t really find any of the illustrations inside.
Then I thought I could just make up the illustrations myself. I used the interweb to translate so I suppose I did some sort of approximation of what the hell happening.
And that’s what I did.
Restored and reimagined.
…..yumminess.
Page from a book I’ve made of an old exhibition. I will have this and more on show in April at The Watch House, Balmain. April 4-6.
….using old stories.
My intention is to make little illustrated classic books. But that’s just an idea.
….for Archy aand Mehitabel.
I tried a new ground that is meant to prepare a surface for watercolor, but it didn’t work the way I thought it would on book cloth. The piece of shit.
Live, laugh, learn, and get pissed off.
……at last.
I finally found a program that can turn a PDF into sections to see. So I can make some well proper books.
I’ll let you know when I make them
……well, well, well, well, well, well, well,well well, well…….
…..oh well.
Just practicing for when I tackle the fAtlas.
…..is going to be wheeled out again.
Fancy artist edition coming soon.
……you have mud. Then you have mud.
