Nick Blinko: ‘The Haunted  Head’ 
I went to  lunch last week with Nick and Henry Boxer, our mutual friend and 
Nick's agent.  We have made some final decisions about our publication of 
Nick's strange and  dreamlike novel, and we will be putting this book up on 
Durtro very soon for  advance orders. 
However,  before we post a definitive statement about the volume, I just 
wanted to write  a brief description of the book. The hard-back edition will 
be a  limited edition,  with blocked covers and spine, pictorial end-papers 
with Nick's work on them,  and a book-ribbon. The novel itself is 200 pages 
long. Each copy will come  with a 1-track CD featuring a newly-recorded and 
previously unreleased  Rudimentary Peni song. 
Nick  wrote out the book twice, in his obsessively beautiful handwriting. 
One of  these copies was written in an A4 pad, and the other version over  
approximately 350 one-sided white postcards measuring 3 1/2" × 5 1/2" (90 ×  
147mm). Three random examples are shown. Each copy of the book comes with one 
of these original  postcards with text from the novel. This of course means 
that the book is  limited to the number of manuscript cards. Once the cards 
are finished, the  edition is ended. 
 
At the  same time, we will be adding a collection of identically-sized 
postcards of  Nick's artwork onto the Durtro shop, at various prices which will 
depend on  the size and complexity of the image on the  postcard. 
Nick  Blinko's text drawings  have been included in several museum shows 
and touring exhibitions in the  UK and France, whilst others are housed in the 
 permanent collections of the following museums: The Collection de l'Art 
Brut  in Lausanne and the Outsider Collection &  Archive, London.
