it's finally here! I will be posting items throughout the next couple days, but first to be re-released is the save the last buffalo zine.
buffalo use to roam the gorgeous plains of the united states unbridled and untamed. now, tragically, we have lost the majority of the wild and TRUE buffalo in the last two hundred years and are down to under 4,000.
what about those buffalo farms? don't we have enough buffalo to keep producing buffalo meat? The buffalo you get from the store isn't the same as the purebred buffalo roaming around Yellowstone. they are hybred cattle-buffalo and don't have the bloodline or the natural instinct to migrate like the quickly disappearing 3,900 true buffalo.
each zine includes 2011 statistics on the buffalo and why they are in danger from the Buffalo Field Campaign, illustrated by myself. each cover is individually hand written and stamped with my own personal hand carved stamps. and to make things even better TWO DOLLARS from every zine sold is donated to the Buffalo Field Campaign! so not only are you being educated on this little known issue, but your money is going to support the Buffalo as well.

so whats a zine? it is a form of self published work (usually by photocopier) that is reproduced in small editions, and can include original and appropriated work. topics of zines can vary from political issues, to abstract thoughts. to read more, i'll link you to the zine wikipedia page.
enjoy, and keep an eye out for the next empty and amazing release!
