The Mook Press is a tiny print studio with a big love for color, paper, and the charm of handmade work. We print slow on purpose. Every layer is printed by hand on our risograph machines, screen printed by hand, or carved from block and ink. It is all small batch and always a little unpredictable which is exactly how we like it.
We are roots are deep in the Ozarks and shaped by the stories and textures we grew up with. Folk art, tool marks, bright color and a sense of play all find their way into what we make. Our work carries a mix of silliness and sincerity. Some days it is a cute bear drawing and other days it is a quiet print about the river. All of it comes from the same desire to make art that feels alive and local and full of character.
We started as a way to share our love of craft. To make prints and zines that do not look like they came from a big box store, or a marketplace that sells the same design a thousand times over. We value the small, the imperfect, and the human. Every print carries tiny quirks from the process, little shifts in registration, soft textures, ink specks and surprises. These imperfections are not mistakes. They are the proof that someone made this for real.
We sell prints zines stickers and small goods. We also work with local businesses and artists to bring their ideas to life in color. When you support The Mook Press you support an independent studio keeping handmade printing alive in the Ozarks one layer at a time.
If you like art that feels a little silly a little soulful and full of color we think you will feel right at home here.
