Helio Press

Slow-burning engine room of Melbourne risograph/zine/DIY publications. Helio Press is the latest project from illustrator and zine lifer Ashley Ronning.

Specialising in illustrative risograph printing and DIY publishing, Helio is dedicated to the art of imbuing paper with the stories and experiences of authors and illustrators. Capturing the fluid and abstract in the act of committing ink to the page. Located in Melbourne's inner north – three planets from the sun – it's the home of free range, physical art; hand-stapled by the owner of an expansive collection of inky denim.
