Anteism is a Canadian arts organization who’s main focus is on arts publishing. Founded in 2003 by publisher Ryan Thompson and joined by Harley Smart in 2007. Anteism Publishing’s focus is on artist monographs, graphic novels, underground or alternative comics and zines.

The word Anteism came from the first book published by Thompson in 2003. The book was titled See Spot Die and was produced to raise money and awareness for street animals in Taiwan. The Ante was the artwork that the artists contributed to be part of the project/book. Each artist putting in a piece of themselves to create a larger whole.

Anteism has published emerging Canadian artists such as Luke Ramsey, James Kirkpatrick (Thesis), Peter Thompson & Erik Volet
