A poet, printer, and fine artist, Chris Fritton has employed these skills in his collaborative efforts with other creatives. As a former designer and printer for Mohawk Press, Fritton produced gig posters for dozens of bands, including Sleater-Kinney, Waxahatchee, Dead Kennedys, Wu Tang Clan, Ice Cube, Rasputina, and GWAR. His books are housed in various collections, including The Ruth & Marvin Sackner Archive of Visual & Concrete Poetry, Fleet Library Special Collections at the Rhode Island School of Design, The Poetry Collection SUNY-Buffalo, University of Wisconsin-Madison Rare Books Collection, Special Collections at Harvard Library, and Maryland Institute College of Art Special Collections.
