More than six years later, the two, along with Ernesto Moncada and Lauren Perry are setting up shop on Roosevelt Row.
Lawn Gnome, at 905 N. 5th Street (formerly Galeria de los Muertos) will sell used books and literary classics, as well as poetry, graphic fiction, zines, and photography books created by local creatives.
Johnson writes that Lawn Gnome’s mission is to write, design, print, trim, bind, sell, and be a launching pad for talented artists who have never published a book before. They’ve published works by
Heather Fraley, Brenda Vidonic, Aaron Johnson, Ernesto Moncada, Lauren Perry, Joseph Nieves, Chesko, The Klute, Jeremiah Blue, Myrlin Hepworth, and Ben Jammin’.
The group is currently raising money on Kickstarter for set-up and supplies before they officially open on February 1.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $15,500 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
