Flood Relief for Issue Press

On February 1st, George Wietor's studio, home of Issue Press, sustained an incredible amount of damage due to a broken water pipe in the studio building. Thankfully, the major components of his operation: the Risographs themselves and much of his equipment remain unscathed. Still, all things paper - both projects and unprinted stock - have been destroyed, with losses totaling well over $5,000.




Since Issue Press's founding in 2010, George has proven himself to be a cornerstone of the worldwide Risograph community. It’s safe to say anyone working with Risograph today has been influenced by George’s generosity and skill as an organizer - whether it be connecting with other Risograph printers through his Atlas of Modern Risography, sharing advice on his Risograph Slack channel, attending the biennial North American Risograph Conference he organizes, or simply talking with the man himself. George is an active participant in all forums Risograph, and always ready to share what he knows.

If everyone who has in some way been helped by George donated $20, we would undoubtedly be able to get him financially back on his feet. There’s nothing that can replace all the time and energy he put into his now destroyed projects, but hopefully we can help to reignite the flames of Issue Press and carry its flag into 2020 +++ beyond.
