Our second annual two headed Telethon is among us! This year, we have a goal of $700 in order to expand our events and cover the cost of zine fests. Our lovely volunteers are waiting patiently by the phones for your pledges to help your local weird press, so please click the link in our bio to donate on our Kickstarter!

This year our tiers are filled with even more goodies so check the comments for our tiers and comment if you donated to that one! There is also cool merch which you can add on with your donation including a poster and earrings!

Yesterday may have been Valentine’s Day but we here at the press are still celebrating! Here are some horror inspired cards to send to your crush as a risky text or remind someone you love them regardless of the day (or holiday that just passed).

Subscriber Showcase

Cultura by John D. Salgado Levesque (@gandalou2)

He walks into light, head cocked full of pride  

He glistens as he slicks his long black feathers. 

Drenching them in oil, polishing his crown.

The blood of Christ runs proudly in his venas

The tapestry he adorns on his skin 

Crucifixes and angels, to battle the demons that have grown fat within

Painted by needle, 

The heritage he bares crushes his future 

The blood of Christ runs proudly, out, of his body

His final breath, an homage to his pueblo y la madre. An apology, before The tears trickle 

tattooed and water,  Fear and relief, now bless the earth. Por el spirito santo,  he joins them again.  The burdens of ink, bear no weight. 

He is free again and answers

 to the father

Zine Update

Production is upon us, everyone has their spreads picked out and underway. In a few weeks, we’ll reconvene to give feedback on each other pages. Then we’ll be in the “Production Finalization” stage.

More news, we have been invited to table at the Athenaeum Art Center’s Spring Fair! We’ll post about it on our social media, but y’all get to know first ;)

Here’s the flyer! two headed press is attending both days, we hope to see you there!
