Dove&Snake at Whata Cafe 1

We released Issue No.2 at the beginning of September at Keegan Rider's Whata Cafe Art Opening. Keegan did a special edition, so he let us sell copies of Issues No.1 and No.2. We set up shop on a table at Caffe Luce and sold some zines to the good people of Tucson.

Reflective Collective also did a special edition. It's is the one at the top of the picture. They printed some art (halftone motorcycling couple printed in silver under big block letters saying NOBODY WANTS TO BE A SUCKER) on the inside covers, front and back, before we put the zines together.

Keegan's special edition is a stencil based on his current show, which involves rabbits in a sort of Alice in Wonderland motif in some of the work. He numbered and signed each of his editions.

The reader in this picture is Alisa Wilhelm, a contributor to Issue No.2 ("Our Job is Awesome" is from her blog). The other folks are John Weatherford, of Reflective Collective, and his wife Emily. They set up shop right next to us and sold some t-shirts (and donated cardboard to D&S for a makeshift sign).

Several people purchased the zine, and several others perused a copy at the show. The best part of that perusing was that we didn't know the readers leafing through the pages of Dove&Snake, but they were interested nonetheless.

Caffe Luce is a D&S favorite, and sitting at their table with friends while selling zines was highly enjoyable.

Thanks to Caleb Jackson for taking the photos and letting us post them here.
