A publishing house for the allergic.
We represent independent creators, writers, poets, and zine makers from the underground scenes of New York and London. We believe in raw, physical prints and counter-cultural voices.
Our Philosophy
The Manifesto
We have a profound allergy to the sanitized, the corporate, and the algorithmically optimized. Modern publishing has become an industry of risk aversion, transforming raw human expression into predictable commodities. We reject the focus groups, the content filters, and the digital gates that keep underground voices on the margins.
Art Allergy was born in the drafty lofts of Brooklyn and the damp brick arches of East London. We publish visual literature, experimental prose, street photography, and DIY zines. Our editions are printed in small, numbered runs—tangible, permanent, and unapologetically flawed.
Selected Releases
Featured Catalog
Available in limited print runs at select independent booksellers in NY & London.
Concrete Fever
by Cassidy Vance
A fragmented, stream-of-consciousness drift through Brooklyn's evolving industrial pockets. Explores structural decay, sensory overload, and late-night municipal sounds.
Brutalist Heart
by Jude Sterling
A collection of critical reflections on the concrete architecture of post-war London, examining the emotional weight of public housing and urban layout designs.
Asphalt Garden
by Maya Lin-West
Visual poetry combining pressed wildflowers collected from Manhattan sidewalk cracks with scanned snippets of industrial documentation and municipal records.
Fog & Neon
by Elena Rostova
Speculative stories set in a near-future London where neon pollution has replaced natural sunlight. Explores themes of memory, connection, and corporate light grids.
