The visionary world of Nicholas Beckett
I’m making a little trip down the the nations capital for the Canberra Zine Emporium on Sunday the 23rd at Gorman House. Not sure where that is, but if you’re in the area, come and pester me.
There is also something the day before at the Museum of Democracy where they’ll be launching the Zine Lounge. I’ll have a bunch of zines you can play with and I think there will be zine making workshop.
Lastly my friend Elizabeth JMW sent me a review of “The Maze” a story of hers I illustrated. Nice things were said. You will be able to pick p a copy off me in Canberra should you wish.
So it always seems.
So I have the Manly Zine Fair on the 21st at Manly Library. Come along because as well as trying to sell my zines I’ll also be trying to teach how to make your own books.
And, Mr Scott Gibson hs got a troop of fine actors togther for the first run of the hit spectacular Waffy Waff and the Big Dream Screen. I’m working on some backdrops, which we hope to get done it time, or Scott going to put me into the cage as a rag doll in his next cage fight.
So there is a lot in the works, but still so much to do. One thing I’ve been working on for way too long, is the story of my fiend Elizabeth JMW’s grandparents during World War II. It’s a wordless sort of comic. And now I think I’m almost there.
I’m hoping to have it ready for the Manly Zine Fair, where I will be running a simple bookbinding workshop. It’s on the 21st of September outside the Manly Library. Check my EVENTS page for more details. There are a few more things in the pipeline, including the second of my collaborative fashion Zines with Katie Haegele, which will also be ready about this time. You can get it at the Zine fair or from my ESTY shop HERE.
