Our idea of commerce is for the makers of art to meet their audience. They need to find each other.  

Eye publish ewe (EYEPUBLISHEWE) is a brand new publishing company, founded in San Francisco. Art, music, video, poetry, and other literature will find inclusive shelter here. Quality work produced by the artists’ heart, mind, and soul rather than commercial interests will have this as a home. All are welcomed with open minds and hearts and eyes to the future. Together we will publish art for humanity’s sake.

Founded during the pandemic of the 2020s, we have our eyes, ears, hearts, minds, and souls facing the future. Decades ago, the founder of EYEPUBLISHEWE pondered the ever-present question of how the artist relates to the audience. No answers were found then. Naturally, these questions are ones mired in all manner of human considerations. The making of money is the largest obstacle. But it ought not to be the sole reason why an artist’s quality work is kept from finding its audience. In the face of such events, all our lives are lessened. When this happens, it is a tragedy.

EYEPUBLISHEWE sees a world full of promise and possibilities where amazing artists who create wonderful content can find their audience. It is easy to blame the gatekeepers. We acknowledge they are there and move on to build our own counsel fire ring and invite new and not widely known storytellers to come out of the dark night shadows and share their lives with the world. Outsider art is mainstream now if we imagine it so and yes, we can.

At a Mardi Gras in New Orleans in the days before the internet, a poet held up his Xeroxed copy of his book of poems waving it in the fresh air and singing out “Buy my poems so I can sell them”. The work of another poet, much more famous locally, blowing bubbles in a bumble bee colored cap on the sidewalks of Berkeley, California is practically lost to the rest of the world.

Please Come and share in the journey

Courage, vision, and the ability to say yes are what is needed. We can, because we will, and we will do.
