Letters from our Objects: Palm Readings
An Angelino artist with an eye for architecture and design, Pedro has been part of the DUM DUM initiative since inception.

Dum Dum Pops: Hannah K. Lee’s Wrapper Collection
Each copy of DUM DUM Issue No. 3 comes with a Dum Dum Pop inside. The raddest coincidence ever, since we recently discovered that our official logo illustrator, Hannah K. Lee, collects wrappers! Here's a slideshow of her scans.
Letters from our Objects: Talking About Art While Pooping
Poop and Art?! Our friend and artist Suzanne Oshinsky's been asking people to talk about their bathroom art for her contribution to Issue 3, Talking About Art While Pooping.

Photos from our LAABF Afterparty at Mandrake
We guess we had some swagger last week, being invited to throw together an afterparty for the ultra arty LA Art Book Fair at Mandrake Bar and getting the whole shebang previewed on LAist. But as you'll see in the gallery below, there was NO DANCING ALLOWED.
Letters from our Objects: Literary Matchbooks
As you know, our 3rd issue PUNKS & Scholars publishes a mash-up of experimental writing as well as literary and curio objects. We first met Adam at Printed Matter's NY Art Book Fair last September. We had a major design crush on him from his cheeky, sentimental art objects on the Internet, and watched as he...
