The visionary world of Nicholas Beckett
My latest Zine is a collaboration with the legendary Katie Haegele. She wrote the words and I did the pictures. I’m very excited about this. You can buy it off meHERE, or if you’re in the States you can buy it off her HERE.
I’ll also have it at my market stall next week. But I’ll annoy you about that more later
We’ve been meaning to get around to this for a while, but it’s finally done. I’m happy to brag about this little zine with my pictures to Katies story about a dress. It has everything, fashion, zine fairs, love and not love. Out soon through ETSY or when I’m next at Eveleigh Artisans market.
So I’ve been staying at home and painting.
I might bring them to the next Eveleigh Artisans Market on the 7th of July.
I probably over exaggerated, as I think I sold three of the original print run, of 10, but yes, it’s back!
Other Goose, familiar and unfamiliar nursery rhymes. Get it now on ETSY, which has been terrible of late. It used to be pretty good, but now when they send out their junk mail, it’s all home-wares, jewelry and inspirational posters. Looks like the art has been sidelined once again.
I’ll have to look somewhere else to sell my garbage.
Find it HERE, or at the next markets.
There are some new exciting things coming up, but as nothing is set in stone, I’ll keep it under wraps.
Thank you to the few brave souls who made it to the last Eveleigh Market (deluge). You made my day. Hopefully the next one will be a bit drier. I have to got through a few things to check everything is OK, and will have to make some new stock. I will most likely be at the next market on Sunday the 7th of July. Hope to see you then.
Actually I don’t think I have. I had a great day at the MCA Zine Fair yesterday and I’m feeling pretty happy, so I thought I’d ruin it by going to Eveleigh Artisans Market next Sunday the 2nd of June.
I’ll have most of what I had at the Zine Fair there, but also some of my hand made notebooks and calico bags, to carry you shopping, books, zines, whatever.
So thank you all you zine freaks who came out yesterday. It makes it all worthwhile.
See you next year, or at the Many Zine Fair in September. Now that should be hilarious as I might be teaching how to bind books. Like I know anything.
Thanks everyone.
My next big adventure will be at the MCA Zine Fair on Sunday the 26th of May 11am to 4pm. All the Superstars of the ZINE world will be there I suppose. It’s a great chance to buy lots of cheap art and literature that you pretty much won’t find anywhere else. As there’s no money in it, you won’t find this stuff at Comic Festivals, book shops, or boutique design markets. Get down there and see the future of publishing. Or just grab something that will never see the light of day again.
Plus you can pick up my latest releases.
Waffy Waf and the Big Dream Screen, which is getting prepared for the stage show.
and The Maze, my latest illustrated version of one of Elizabeth JMW’s great story tales.
OK, from going on about how I was going to quit everything, now May is jam packed with events.
The Waffy Waf is out there, and with me this Sunday at the Eveleigh Artisans Market. This is the super Limited First edition. Comes with CD of great kids music. If you’re nice to me I may even sign it.
I’m just printing up my latest Zine The Maze, which I’ve collaborated with Canadian writer Elizabeth JMW.
Both of these and more will be available from me at:——
On Sunday the 5th of May I will be at Eveleigh Artisans Market 10am to 3pm. Mainly as I want to catch up on the gossip with other stall holders. There’s a bit to find out in the intriguing world of Artisans Markets.
And
I’ve made it into the MCA Zine Fair on Sunday the 26th of May 11am to 4pm. I’ll keep you updated about that closer to the time.
Thanks.
Nothing else is planned at the moment. But I’ll let you know.
Yes it’s finally here. The Waffy Waf multimedia odyssey if actaully here. Be one of the first. Buy your copy now.
Thanks for those who came and said hello on Sunday. It makes it all worthwhile. I didn’t quite get the pictures done for Elizabeth JMW’s story tale The Maze, but I hope to get it done this week. I’m trying to make it extra fancy so it’s taking a little bit longer, but not much.
I’ve also just received a message that the Waffy Waf CD’s are getting made, so that looks like being ready later this week. Go to Waffy’s facebook page for up to the minute news.
Just a quick reminder that I am running a Bookbinding workshop for teens at Glebe Library on the 17th of April. Go to the bookbinding link above for more details and to book, or click here.
