Nobrow Press is a publishing company and book shop based in Shoreditch, London, England known for publishing the works of Blexbolex, Luke Pearson[who?], Jon McNaught[who?], Jesse Moynihan][who?], their bi-annual self-titled anthology, Nobrow, as well as exposing the English speaking world to works by European artists.[1] The company was founded in October 2008 by Sam Arthur and Alex Spiro with the intention "to publish books that deserved to be printed".[2] The company utilises an idiosyncratic printing approach which allows them to achieve a striking palette of colours in their books. They also take care over the paper stock used in order to create books that evoke a sense of history.[2] Their publishing aesthetic has been described by Rob Clough in The Comics Journal as one "where design and color are often more important than line and narrative."[1] Their works are distributed at U.S. comics shows by AdHouse, although in September 2012 the company attended the Small Press Expo, with Arthur participating on the panel "British Comics: Does it Translate".[3] In January of 2012 the company curated the two week "This Is Not a Pop-Up" event at the Hayward Gallery shop, where-by they hosted musicians, artists and a workshop for children as well as offering their products for sale.[4] The company is seen as a champion of the DIY culture.[5]
