What’s Nobrow then?

How it started…

Nobrow (TM) was set up in the winter of 2008 to provide an independent publishing platform for illustration and the graphic arts that would showcase some of the best talent out there today, whether fresh out of college or from the ranks of well seasoned veterans.

Our aim is to place a renewed focus on quality in print, using wherever possible the best materials we can get our hands on and always trying to play with format, color, size and design to ensure that our publications are well conceived and individual. We work closely with locally based printers wherever possible so that we can be involved in the creative process from start to finish and we always try to achieve finished products that are not only filled with great work, but that themselves are art objects, to be coveted, collected and cherished.

Nobrow Small Press vs. Nobrow Press

Nobrow Press is all about publishing beautifully tactile illustrated books. Our main publishing imprint, Nobrow Press endeavors to push the boundaries of the offset printing process to ensure that colour, format and paper quality combine to produce publications that are not just books, but collectible art objects. Many of our publications are individually numbered and run in editions of between 3000 and 5000 copies, our unique system of printing full spot colour publications gives our books the luxuriant quality of artists’ books albeit at very affordable prices.

Nobrow Small Press is all about screenprinting. We have a fully equipped screenprint studio on our premises and work with many different artists, illustrators and designers to create beautifully crafted books and prints. Our editions are extremely limited, we never do more than 100 of anything. Everything we produce is signed and numbered by the artist and embossed with the Nobrow Small Press seal.

Our studio is uniquely equipped to publish both small and large runs of books. Upstairs is where we design and develop all of our products and is also the location of the library and print archive from which we draw all of our inspiration. Downstairs is the print studio where we can test products and print limited runs of books, prints, ephemera and any manner of hand made goodies.
