Help Miguel Zapata bring The Bedsit People to life!
The Bedsit People tells the story of a young musician who trades his sleepy, monotonous hometown in a far-flung corner of Europe for the buzz and chaos of London. Barely 20, armed with broken English and even more broken life skills, he dives headfirst into a world of cramped bedsits, eccentric characters, and surreal moments that only London can deliver.
Featuring over 30 new hand-made illustrations, The Bedsit People bridges the gap between a short novel and a graphic novel, capturing the absurdity, humour, and struggles of navigating adulthood in a city that doesn’t make it easy.
The goal? To produce a beautifully printed book: A4 size, approximately 80 pages. Your support will help turn this passion project into something tangible. The book will be a limited edition, with either 75 or 100 copies printed, depending on the success of this fundraiser.
As an added bonus, Miguel is offering the option to purchase an A3 print of one of the illustrations from the book. You’ll have several designs to choose from, including those featured on this blog post.
If successful, he aims to have all printed copies by the end of February - beginning of March. For those who know me or if you live in London or A Coruña, there's an option to purchase the book without shipping so I can give it to you in person.
Shipping charges are otherwise £5 for UK delivery or £10 for overseas. If you purchase the book and print bundle, shipping charges are £10 for UK and £20 for overseas.
