An intro post: I am an artist-publisher that operates under the imprint NewLights Press. I make books and prints, mostly by hand, with #letterpress #risograph and mixed #drawing media. Sometimes the work is solo and sometimes it is collaborative. The images show some recent work.

The grants are unrestricted and there are no reporting requirements. There is no application process. NLP subscribers nominate projects and then vote on which will be the final recipient. More info: www.newlightspress.com/nlp-public-g...

A screenshot of the NewLights Press website store. There is a navigation menu for the website at the top, and another navigation menu just for the store below that. The page "Books From Friends" is highlighted in red. Below that are images of books laid out in a 3 x 3 grid. The first four have different colored cardstock covers with a different small image printed on each. The fifth shows a receipt book with its first page unfolded. The last shows a a book cover with the image of a white man with glasses and short hair in profile. The book is bound with thread wrapped through two holes on the left side of the book. The titles and prices of the books are listed under each image. They are: "2 Lists & A Poem Abt Lists," $5, "Shit Slips," $5 "The Paint Factory Years," $9, "Halcyon," $9, "Before I Spoke to Myself," $9, "Probably, Ohio," $15.

Tomorrow! As in Sat. May 31st. Kentuckiana #zinefest at Logan Street Market in #louisville KY. 3 to 7 pm. Poster by Ryan Thornton.

#zines #bookarts #kentucky #indiana
This is the poster for the 2025 Kentuckiana Zine Fest in Louisville, KY. It is a cartoon image of a blue squid, standing on a sidewalk in front of a brick wall. The squid is holding multiple sheets of paper and folded zines in its arms and is simultaneously drawing, stapling them into booklets, and showing them to the viewer. The zines have the info about the zine fest. They read: "Fourth Annual Kentuckiana Zine Fest. May 31st, 2025. 3 pm to 7 pm. Located at Logan St. Market." The poster was designed by Ryan Thornton.

Oh, and it's free and I plan to keep it that way! It will feature essays and interviews about books & print & the infrastructures that sustain them. Current things I'm writing on: "text-image constructs," capitalism and (book)arts education, and different types of reading.

Thanks for the clarification! It's going to be invite-only for the foreseeable future. NewLights Press is just me, so I need to keep it small and manageable.
