The visionary world of Nicholas Beckett
While I was trying to get out of other things I started doing these water-colours of people on various animals. Now they all collected together in this beautiful volume, with little poems I wrote to accompany them .
Suitable for all ages. For lovers of animals, art and dodgy poems.

And just a special thanks to Nat and Chiara for organising the excellent Canberra Zine Emporium on Saturday. It was the best. See you at the MCA in May.
For those of you who are in this countries capital, I’ll be at the Canberra Zine Emporium, Saturday the 23rd of March (this coming Saturday). It’s in Rabaul Lane in Canberra City from 11am to 4pm. Unless it rains it will be here:Canberra Theatre – Foyer, Located: Civic Square, London Circuit
It’s only taken 5 years, but I finally got this printed. Hopefully we won’t be waiting this long for the next installment.
My first novella, is a story of two Pilgrimms going on a journey to find the famed Universe City. They don’t know when they start their travels, when they leave the land of toil, with leaves of oil and the soil made of rust that the Universe City is their destination.
Join them as they meet many new friends, including Jezebel Truelove, a jilted bride rat, and Ken Do, the hairy man. Worry for them when they face many trials, such as crossing the the cross roads, and the their journey through the undergrounds.
48 page book, with numerous black and white illustrations by little old me. 21cm X 13cm, with fancy colour cover.
The book is suitable for children but I wasn’t really writing it targeting anyone in particular. I just wrote the little chapters one a day in July 2008.
Includes many references to yummy food.
Buy it HERE.
Just so you know, I won’t be at the Eveleigh Markets this Sunday. I can’t be bothered. I should be at the April markets, but then again…..
I will however be in Canberra later on the 23rd of March at the CanberraZine Emporium. So if you’re there come and say hello.
But I have more exciting news of big things afoot. Stay tuned.
Is on it’s way, Keep up to date HERE.

It’s at Melbourne Town Hall, from 12pm to 5pm.
I’ve got a bunch of new zine plus plenty of old favorites. Come and visit and annoy me if you can.
There’s too much ordinary being sold as extraordinary.
Actually I’m working on two. One based on her grandparents story in WWII, and this, for a story called The Maze. I read Elizabeth’s zines a couple of years ago and asked if I could do some illustrated versions of her stories. Then I kept on getting distracted. But I’m hoping to get this done soon. You can find “The Boy Who Owned The Forest,” which I actually finished and her latest zine 398#12 which I drew the cover for, by clicking on the picture.
Hopefully there will be more really soon.
I’ll be having a stall at the Eveleigh Artisans Market this Sunday the 3rd of Febraury, 10am to 3pm. Come and say hello. It’s the first of the year. And maybe my last. I’ll see how I feel.
I’d just like to thank all those who came to the bookbinding workshop I ran. It was a pleasure, and all your hard work made my job easier. I hope you learned a little and have fun filling your notebooks with writing, drawing or whatever you feel like.
I’ve started a new page where I will put information about bookbinding. There is a link to the NSW Guild Of Craft Bookbinders, who have lots of information on where to buy supplies. I’m thinking of starting a blog about bookbinding too. Stay tuned for more.
For those of you who are interested I will be at the Eveleigh Markets in Darlington, not far from Redfern Station, on Sunday the 3rd of February. Come and say hello if you wish.
