Our wonderful friends Colpa Press invited us to participate in their San Francisco Pop-Up Shop this weekend, and we couldn't have been more seriously excited about sending them copies of our zines. Check out their blog post about DUM DUM!
Los Angeles, A Graveyard Liska Jacobs
A graveyard beneath our feet: if you are on a sidewalk, it was once an apartment, a storefront; a tree once stood there. Not one or the other. But layers upon forgotten layers. Before Disney Hall, there were the slums of Bunker Hill, and before the slums there was middle class Bunker Hill, and even...
Except You Are Not As Good Liska Jacobs
Remember when you first wanted to start writing? Calls for submissions from local literary publications bore the faces of your favorite writers, captioned "This Could Be You." But how--budding, in our 20s, with no fodder to speak of--could we measure up, no matter how hard academia tried to force the greats down our throats?
Excorcise Won Suzanne Oshinsky
"Excorcise Won" is filled with poetic visuals about miscommunication in language. It is artist Suzanne Oshinsky's second submission to DUM DUM, a follow-up to her "Notes" series which collects fragments that explore notions of seeing vs. hearing.

TRANSMEDIA CRITICISM CYCLE: in which we respond to art with art Pedro Juarez + Taleen Kalenderian + The Horrors
Welcome to a preview of our first crit cycle, a collaborative project which treads the line between art(s) and critique; a line we’re super interested in blurring. At which point does a critique of an object become a work of artistic merit in its own right? Here at DUM DUM, it’s what we bank on...
SHHH… Zach Plague
A skeletal series of grave comics by Zach Plague of Featherproof; a new one posted each week of October.
Notes Suzanne Oshinsky
Notes are a collection of fragments. Each note its own logic. For some, letters slip out of place to make poems. For others, it’s the difference in seeing versus hearing.
EYE EYE Yanina Spizzirri
“EYE EYE,” a graphic shorthand: Mechanisms of Vision and Spatial Thresholds The eye facing the eye, in between the visual field–a path of presence, optically experienced. One eye blinks while the other clicks, both capturing space and motion and projecting its emanations onto a thin temporal membrane, onto a screen surface of now time, of...
