The project also includes a double sided risograph printed poster and two “Print is Now.” stickers. A Snake is Eating was published in 2019 as part of the Can Can Friends 2.0 project and includes contributions from Zebu, a Berlin based art duo, and Molly Dyson, an illustrator and designer based in Australia and Germany.
“Can Can Press is a multi-disciplinary art project founded by Gabino Azuela and Jackie Crespo in 2017. Based in Mexico City, Can Can Press is focused on the experimentation, publication, distribution and manifestation of new creative proposals. As a publishing house, the project retakes the artist book by the new art of making books, creating a visual and conceptual narrative from the content to the form of the object.” -Can Can Press
