Clown Kisses Press

Started by three VCUarts Alumni Clown Kisses Press (CKP) was briefly known as “Clown Meat Press” this was quickly deemed to be “maybe a little too much”. Next a risograph printer was purchased and the rest is history. Clown Kisses Press is a risograph press based in Richmond,VA specializing in zines, books, comics, prints, posters, etc. Clown Kisses Press looks to work with emerging artists as a place to create and publish a work as part of an edition. The press has been active since 2016 and every year we seek to build on our prior works and publications and keep producing new books and printed matter with artists not only from the mid Atlantic but from all over. Clown Kisses Press has been a part of art book fairs and exhibitions all over North America including Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Vancouver, Durham, Cincinnati, New York, and of course Richmond. Also in late 2022 CKP was a part of the first Tokyo Art Book Fair since the start of the pandemic and was able to table in Japan.
