Build Your Library.

Layered Butter is 100% original — artwork, essays, and interviews created exclusively for each volume and printed in limited, full-color editions with zero advertising. In an era drowning in AI slop and disposable content, we publish human work only: newly commissioned art and deeply personal conversations exploring what shaped the artists behind the images.
That’s the Layered Butter difference.
