2d Cloud is an independent publisher specializing in comics and art books.

History
The company was founded as a loose artists’ collective in 2007 by Meghan & Raighne Hogan and Justin Skarhus. After becoming an LLC in 2010 2d Cloud beganto publish nationally recognized cartoonists, such as Noah Van Sciver, and produce more book-length releases.

Their initial publishing efforts revolved primarily around a regional comics anthology, The Good Minnesotan, which ran from 2007–2010. During that same period 2D Cloud also published their first graphic novella titled Year-books, which, along with the final two issues of anthology, were critically well received.

Over the past two years their publishing activity has only increased, with a combined total of 10+ minicomics and 5 graphic novels.

Since 2015, the company's focus has shifted almost exclusively to graphic novels with an increasingly ambitious publishing and touring schedule. To aid them in this major transition 2D Cloud hired Blaise Larmee as their Director of Marketing. With a history as an alternative comics provocateur, taking on the roles of publisher (Gaze Books), critic, editor, and widely known for his creative and rigorous approach to social media.
