The visionary world of Nicholas Beckett
I will be there.
I’ve had the greatest honour to draw pictures for Katie Haegele’s latest zine about Christmas. We didn’t quite get it together to print it before Christmas, but the stories are lovely and sad and I think they can be read at any time of the year.
Christmas, time to get your melancholy on.
Thanks Katie.
I find that there’s a lot of controversy surrounding the right time to take down one’s Christmas tree, including the idea that there is a right time. I see people’s frizzled trees lying on the curb as late as February, which gives me the willies. I have inherited my mother’s fussy, snobbish belief that the only acceptable time to take down the tree is on the Epiphany, the 12th day of Christmas. I can’t believe I care about this, but I do.

So I’m running a zine workshop at Chatswood Library this Sunday the 20th of November. Not sure if they’re under the illusion that I know what I’m doing.
They also seem concerned that there haven’t been many takers, and seem to think that I may be able to get people in. The don’t know how unpopular I am. Poor things.
It’s from 14 and up, so anyone can come really. If you’re bored and have nothing better to do, come and make fun of me.
It’s FREE

I should be there.
So you missed the picture party, but you have a chance to catch up at the Manly Library Zine Fair 2016
I haven’t made any in a while but I can knock a few low quality things up in the next few weeks.
Hope you can make it.
When: Sat 24 Sept, 11am – 2pm
Where: Manly Library Forecourt, Market Lane, Manly
So I’ve still been making zines and not bothering to put them in my shop. So I’ll be spending today fixing that up. On the off chance that anyone in the world had the slightest interest.
I’ll be selling my usual garbage, and also running quick HOW TO zines workshops from my table which I’m hoping will annoy the other zine people around me. It goes from 11am till 4pm, which I think is a bit long to put on a grumpy face. It’s at Glebe Town Hall which is in St John Road if I remember correctly.
Hope you can make it.
