PRINT Issues

Every version of America worth having was built by people who lost things and kept going anyway. Who had their identity ripped away and spent a strange summer figuring out who they were without it. Who made choices that didn’t make sense on paper because they believed in something they couldn’t fully name yet. That stubbornness, that refusal to stop showing up, that’s the through line. That’s what doesn’t break. We made this issue because we think remembering matters; not as escape, not as nostalgia for its own sake, but as fuel. You cannot fight for something you’ve stopped believing in, and you cannot believe in something you’ve let yourself forget.

76 pages. Full gloss. 8.5 x 11. Shot, written, and designed entirely in Pittsburgh! Inside: an interview with Heading North, a deep dive into Pittsburgh's music community with 9FiftySeven, a visual feature with curated clothing brand Gemini Vintage, editorial fashion shoots styled to the extremes of excess and restraint, and a meditation on what it means to build something in a city that's been told print is dead. Abundance is having too much and not enough at the same time.
