The visionary world of Nicholas Beckett
As usual I’m suprised at how little I get done. But I have started a new colouring book which will be ready for the next Artisans Market at Eveleigh Markets on November 4. It will be the last one I will be at this year, but my lovely friend Janet will be minding the one in December so you can still buy my goodies but not directly from me.
I’m also working on a couple of new Christmas cards which should be ready by then.
Here’s a picture from my other new zine, coming soon.
I’m going to have a stall at the Redwater Markets this Saturday 9am to 4pm. Come down if you feel up to it.
I’ll be at Redwater Markets this Saturday the 20th October, from about 9am to 4pm, under the trees in Redfern Park, corner of Chalmers St. and Redfern St.
Hope you can make it.
Unless it rains of course. Then I’m not leaving the house.
My friend Joseph Carlough asked me a little while ago to do some pictures for a zine he’s creating using the book Ghosts I have Seen, by Violet Tweedale. And it’s available now, HERE. It looks pretty good. Buy it
Or Else!
And all the better it is.
I’ll be a Eveleigh Markets, Wilson Street, Darlington 10am to 3pm, this Sunday the 7th of October. Come and visit if you wish.
As it says above, I’ll be at the TINA Zine Fair in Newcastle this Sunday the 30th September from 10am to 4pm. Come and visit if it’s at all possible. More (not much more) information here.
And I’ll be back at Eveleigh Markets in Sydney the following Sunday the 7th of October.
Out very soon. My new booky zine of photo poems. Old nicked photo poems.
Profoundly silly.
Available on ETSY, or the Newcastle Zine fair on the 30th September.
I’m going to be at the Manly Zine Fair, in Manly Library on th 15th of September 11am to 2pm. It’s only a little zine fair, but should be fun, and it’s a nice place to spend the day. It’s part of Sydney but feels a world away. I’m hoping to have a few of Elizabeths zines there on the day.
I thought I’d give another plug for my friend Elizabeth in Canada, for her new zine,The Candy makers Daughter. It’s really more of a novella than a zine, at 44 pages. Only $4. Bargain and brilliant. Find it here, or click on the picture.
Here’s what it’s about,
What is the secret ingredient to the Candy Maker’s most delicious chocolates? Love. But since the death of his wife, his one true love, the Candy Maker has lost the ability to create his most special chocolates. When a foreign king demands the chocolates, the Candy Maker’s Daughter takes it upon herself to go on a journey to find true love and save her father. But will her heart ever find what she is seeking? And will she make it back in time to save her father?
398 is a litzine of fairy-tale-like stories by Elizabeth J. M. W.
398#12 is just one story: The Candy Maker’s Daughter, but it is much longer than previous 398 stories. This zine is 1/2 sized, 44pages and text heavy.
And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: Therefore, the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.—Genesis iii, 22-24
Yesterday I ventured to the lands of the East. It was not pretty. I won’t rant about it now, but that place is not so friendly to me. SInce the Beckett’s have been banished from the Eastern suburbs, there is no place for me there any more. I tried, but it is not ot be. So I will stay here in Redfern and I will go West of Eden later next month. But first I will be at the Eveleigh Markets once again this Sunday the 2nd of September, at Carriage Works, Wilson Street Darlington 10am to 3pm.
It’s not perfect but the people there inderstand me. Well a little bit.
