MISSION STATEMENT

JESS JESS PRESS is an emerging press dedicated to uplifting queer and fem artists and artists of color in the comics/magazine publishing industry. We strive to provide publishing opportunities and high quality printing services for underrepresented creatives in the Baltimore community, allowing marginalized artists to build their platform in an increasingly censored industry while staying local, keeping our arts district vibrant and creating additional sources of revenue for Baltimore citizens. 

We are founded by longtime friends and roommates Jess Lin (@panstarri) and Jess Lipinsky (@buttoneyedart); we met during our time at MICA, where we honed our skills and bonded over our love for printing and illustration. After two years of producing our own works, we decided to expand and lend our expertise in printing and manufacturing to support the community we love. 

We are committed to using the resources we have to foster inclusivity and creating the highest quality product possible. By promoting underrepresented voices in truly authentic ways, we seek to push boundaries and reinvigorate the publishing industry.
