About K.Co Press

From sculptures that bring joy to photographs that inspire travel, art that builds communities and art that endures through history, K.Co Press books explore art that inspires, and celebrate what art can do.

Our Story

Founded in 2021, K.Co Press is a Dallas-based art book publisher dedicated to bringing unique art and photography books to readers who will love them. We began with a series of road trip photography books by James Khattak, capturing the beauty of Texas and beyond. Now, we publish a wide range of works that explore visual art, photography, and the stories that shape them. From artist retrospectives to cultural narratives, our books are crafted to inspire and delight.

Our journey has included appearances at art and literary fairs, collaborations with artists and writers, publishing Jeffie Brewer's "Joy Machine," and the launch of our Call/Response podcast. We’re excited for what’s next—our upcoming releases include work by Brad Ford Smith, Jason Hensel, and other visionary artists and arts writers.

Our Creative Process

At K.Co Press, every book we publish is a work of art—from narrative to design and production. We shape compelling stories, engage expert editors, and work with high quality, innovative fine art printing specialists. The result is a book that not only showcases an artist's work but also becomes a treasured object in itself.

In addition to publishing traditionally acquired books, we also offer custom publishing services for artists, providing portfolios, exhibition catalogs, and other personal or B2B publication projects to support their creative journey.
