Call For Artwork

We’re looking for art that bleeds. Art that’s been kicked in the teeth, left in the gutter, and still crawls back with a story to tell. We want the raw, the dark, the pulp-stained, and the lowbrow. Give us outsider visions, punk rockers, folk horror, grimy cityscapes, dive bar saints, the beauty of the broken and beaten down.

 

If your work speaks in cigarette burns, cracked knuckles, neon reflections in puddles of rain and regret—send it our way. We’re not here for the pristine, the polished, or the gallery-safe. We want the voices of the damned, the lost, the outlaws of the canvas and page.

Submit your work to Lowlife Lit Press, and let’s fill these walls with ghosts.
