October 2019
About The Cover: This month, local artist/tattooer Oscar Garcia joins us to celebrate local craft spirits. Cats revel in Dionysian-style ritual madness and religious ecstasy—dressed as ghosts, dancing like witches ’round a bottle holding the kind of spirit local distillers conjure in Utah. Herein, Garcia pays tribute to monmon cats. Find more of his work @oscarthegarcia on Instagram.
