About

Hi! I'm Nat, a zine artist, printmaker, and community educator currently based in Iowa City and originally from Boston. I created Dead Ends Press to have a place to put all the projects I abandoned between shifts at shitty jobs, so my work centers around creating space for that experience through workshops, community partnerships, and zines.


Zines

Mini-zines about the working class experience, doomscrolling escape plans, and zine templates for facilitating dialogue about censorship and community care.

Flip through the archive or email me for printable pdfs and fold your own!

Workshops

Workshops for making mini-zines, using publishing equipment, and applying basic printmaking skills. Most workshops are hosted at unconventional spaces or in collaboration with community organizations.

Reach out about upcoming workshops, space recs, or for resources to organize your own!


Projects

Hand-drawn and printed posters and informative materials for local gigs, events, and orgs.

Reach out if you need a poster, zine, or have an idea for a collaborative printmaking activity!


T.I.Y.

T.I.Y. is a community education project creating spaces to talk about censorship and collective grief through drop-in zine workshops. Workshops use collaborative zine-making to teach media literacy, design, and community organizing skills.

Support for this work is provided by Big Field Fund, a program of Public Space One.
Funding is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
