www.fleskpublications.com Flesk Publications pride itself on being different. The result is a unique and individual collection produced with passion.

Since 2002, Flesk Publications has been promoting the arts through quality collections.

“The company was founded as a direct result of my desire to publish the art books I wanted to buy myself,” states publisher John Fleskes. A creative approach is pursued by exploring the aesthetics of each artist in order to design a package that serves as an extension of him or herself. Flesk produces a full l

ine of art books featuring the best of comics and graphic novels, fantasy, illustration, pinup and fine arts. Fleskes shares a passion for the arts and feels a responsibility in making sure he represents his artists with the best books possible while also raising the art form. “We hope to educate the public to expect a higher standard from publishers,” continues Fleskes. “We take our work very seriously yet enjoy the process. Whether it’s a 16-page chapbook or a 300-page oversized art book, we give each collection our full attention to meet our standards first. I have a self-drive that makes this approach a natural part of what Flesk Publications is all about. It isn’t a policy, it’s who we are.”
