I made some very quick Riso prints from scanned wood type. The prints are for local distribution (for now) but PDFs with color separations are available for free download on the NLP site. 8.5 x 11. Use as you like! www.newlightspress.com#/abolish-ice/

A print with solid red text and blue outline text on a white background. The text reads "ABOLISH ICE."

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.

Two of my poem-drawing-print-things, which usually go to subscribers and thus aren't on sale very often, are up on the In Cahoots Residency silent auction fundraiser. The fundraiser supports grants to help artists attend the residency. incahootsresidency.com/2025-auction... #printmaking #bookarts

A screenshot showing various artworks displayed on the silent auction page for the In Cahoots Residency fundraiser.

A screenshot showing the piece "Primer Number 2 (Post) Study #12" on the In Cahoots Residency fundraiser page. The artwork is a drawing and collage on a page torn out of a book about the artist Cezanne. The image by Cezanne printed on the page is of a chair. Over top of that there is a gesso and black ink drawing of a folded piece of fabric. Collaged on top, running from the center of the composition to the upper right corner and off of the page are three lines of text rendered in the NewLights Press Threshold Alphabet. The paper that the text is cut from shows a full-color image from a medieval illuminated manuscript. The text reads: "A book... going... ...forth."

A screenshot showing the piece "Study for Drift/Fragment No. 6" on the In Cahoots Residency fundraiser page. The piece is contained within several colored rectangles. The drawing is a diptych with a gray background. A part of each sheet of paper is torn out and the shapes are repeated multiple times over the composition and painted in yellow ochre. Large white text, rendered in the NewLights Press Threshold Alphabet, runs at an angle up and to the right. The text is cut into and peeled out of the surface of the drawing. The text reads: "Day. You could. You imagine. You wake."

I want to send you books and prints! 2025 NewLights Press subscriptions are now available, $45 or $90. What exactly you'll get this year is tbd. The pictures show what was included in 2024. www.newlightspress.com/store/newlig... #bookarts #letterpress #printmaking #art #poetry #artistsbooks

A digital flyer with a blue background and black and light gray text. The black text is rendered in an experimental, geometric, and modular alphabet called the Threshold Alphabet. The whole text reads: "NewLights Press 2025 Subscription."

A yellow book cover with an illustration, printed in black, showing a landscape with Pikes Peak, trees, and a utility poles and wires receding into the distance. The title of the book, American Weather, is printed along the spine. The author's names, printed in the bottom right corner, are Mary Margaret Alvarado and Corie J. Cole.

A white book cover printed with large, black text reading "Reader, read your reading." There is a blue rectangle in the upper left corner where the large text begins, and the yellow outline of another rectangle tucked to the right of the large text. Underneath the large text is a thin red line. Under that line is some smaller text in black, with the book's title "Primer No. 2," the publisher, "NewLights Press," and the date of publication, January 1, 2025.

A collage and mixed media drawing made from a page of a book that showed a medieval calendar from an illuminated manuscript. Over tope of that image are layered line drawings of folded fabric in black and cyan, along with text rendered in an experiment, modular alphabet called the Threshold Alphabet. The text switches direction from line to line, with the first line reading left-to-right, the second line reading right-to-left, and so on, for four lines. The text runs off the right side of the page. Visible in the first line is the word "time," on the second line the letters n, i, n, g, on the third line the letters t, h, r, o, and on the fourth line the letters e, x, t.

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.
