The visionary world of Nicholas Beckett
……against the tide.
…..but I go to work instead.
….won’t help.
….opening Friday night. Over by Sunday.
Just like an election.
Less sausages.
…I finished my books for the Easter show.
Top. The War of the Worlds, a newly case bound multi section book, with the textbook from Binders Edition. I painted new endpapers and cover illustrations, and free hand tooled the cover design. And hand sewn end bands.
Middle. A repair and rebind of Mrs. Beeton’s Shilling Cookbook. It was missing the covers and first few pages, so I made and designed new covers and endpapers by hand colouring prints of some of the plates inside the book. The book is sewn on cords and laced into the cover boards, 1/4 Leather bound, with my dodgy hand drawn blocking.
Bottom. Pictures of Sound, which is a booklet and CD from Dust To Digital. They have a digital download. Being in Australia it’s really expensive to get their things here, so I figured I would print my own booklets and make my own special editions. This is a stab sewn textbook with simple printed paper covered board for the covers, with inlaid prints of the CD cover from and back. Endpapers are made from images from the booklet.
Hello again,
this weekend only I have a book that has travelled up to Brisbane as part of a bookbinding show.
See it at
Scrumptious Reads, 92A Arthur Terrace, Red Hill on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th November.
…….Ya dog?
Don’t let the world hold you back.
…and noticed she had no arms, and had scissors in her foot. With that intense stare I think she had one thought on her mind.
…..pretty much everything.
….fuck ’em.
Fuck the lot of them.
