Why subscribe to Paperclip Press?

Subscribing to Paperclip Press gives you monthly access to my personal zine Postcards from Latin America and a weekly Post called Zine and Design.

Zine and Design is a collection of things I have discovered related to Zine Making, Relief/Intaglio/Collagraph Printing, Good Books, Great Online Reads…..and other good stuff related to creativity and living an intentionally artistic life. I also include Artist Bios, Inspiration Boards, Video Tutorials, and lots of links so you can explore new discoveries on your own.

At the end of each weekly Zine and Design email I include a quick little note from Central America capturing something unique from day to day life in Nicaragua (which is were I live and work now)

Once a month, I will be sending my personal Zine Post Cards from Latin America. It is a digital download and printable zine that helps me document my daily experiences and the beauty I discover living in Central America.

Thanks for joining me on this journey as I continually develop this digital space and my analog (IRL) collection of paper zines.


A little History…….

Hello! My name is Douglas. After spending the last 8+ years doing outreaches in Nicaragua, my wife and I finally moved here full time. It was a slow evolution, somewhat accidental, but none the less exactly what we needed to do.

This publication has been a long time in the works. For years I have wanted a place to collect the images, discoveries and thoughts that emerge while working and traveling in Nicaragua. But it seemed that they just did not fit in the classic social media platforms. Luckily, I finally stumbled accross Substack. As I explored the platform and read the diverse writings, I knew that this would be the place to build my collection.

Join Paperclip Press for the following:

  • Random Daily Notes capturing the images of day to day life in Nicaragua

  • A weekly (Zine and Design) Roundup Post of New Zine Discoveries, Tutorials, Artist Bios, Interesting Books and Articles, Printmaking and Micropublishing Techniques……..plus lots more!

  • A Monthly Zine (Post Cards from Latin America) Exploring the unique culture of Nicaragua and the process of living more intentionally here.

  • Access to all of the Paperclip Press Content that evolves over time


P.S.

Plus you will get first row access to living with Koko, our pet Capuchin Monkey! She loves to hang out in her hammock near the kitchen with her rabbit.
