I think more than anything else, we’re driving by the rather old-fashioned concept now that ideas matter. And that engagement with ideas ought to be rewarding, energizing, entertaining, inspirational, reflective and productive. So I guess our mission is the production and dissemination of such ideas. Politically, we definitely come from (and are hopefully contributing to in some modest fashion) the traditions and practices of anarchism, Marxism, and the wide, wild and messy spectrum of anti-authoritarian philosophy, art, culture and history.

ARTPORN by Jacob Brooks Citizen of the World, 2016 Citizen of the World There aren’t enough punk poets. I’m not even really sure what I mean by “punk poets”;…

That may not be “smart” in the normal sense of the word, but I don’t really care. Kiddiepunk is almost like a big art project to me, and I’ve never used my art as a money-making source. It keeps things pure that way because I just do what I want and I only publish things that I love. There’s no pressure on any particular release to “succeed” on a financial level. It’s a punk mentality that is just kind of ingrained in my head. But it’s great these days because you can do these things relatively affordably and sell them directly to the people who are interested. You don’t need distribution, ISBNs, any of that stuff. You just need to put your energy into making something great. In the not-so-distant past, before the internet, before high quality digital printing, you really couldn’t do what I do now, so it’s cool.
