Nick Blinko, 'The Sketchbooks of Nick Blinko', Single Hand-Wrapped Edition BK

Nearly 40 years ago, Nick Blinko (lead singer and guitarist for Rudimentary Peni) regularly drew in the popular Daler A6 sketchbooks, with a handy perforation to remove single sheets. Far from being mere sketchbooks they contain so much more than simple drafts, there are countless fully realized artworks in here, one of the books is a skull/skeleton themed booklet, another one contains drawings which are easily among the most detailed, disturbing and fascinating work Nick has created, rumor has it that Coil’s John Balance at one point even tried to steal one of these easily-pocketed books.

Each book comes hand wrapped by the publisher to maintain a completely clean unveiling. A beautiful thing, really.
