Nick Bantock is known throughout the world for his art, for his writing and particularly for his marriage of the two. His books have topped many best-seller lists and have been translated into a multitude of languages. His first Griffin and Sabine trilogy stayed on the NY Times best-seller list for over two years. His art hangs in private collections all over North America and Europe and in 2011 he was given a major retrospective exhibition at the MOA in Denver. As a teacher and speaker, he is probably best described as…motivational and mischievous.
Nick’s first new book in seven years “THE TRICKSTERS HAT” (A Mischievous Apprenticeship in Creativity) published by Perigree Books (Penguin) is IN STORES NOW.
The Trickster’s Hat is a 208 page hardcover, full color, workshop book that amongst other things contains 49 exercises designed to help experienced and inexperienced writers, artists, teachers and wide-eyed wonderers go deeper within themselves, expand their imaginations and break creative blocks. It’s not a ‘how to do’, or a ‘how to be’ kinda book, it’s a mischievous companion that will hopefully stay nestling in your pocket for years to come.
