mankind mag: issue two.

Whew! I’m so excited to release Issue Two of Mankind Mag: The HAIR Issue! I think you’ll L-O-V-E it, as the issue is chock full of over thirty smashing artists, photographers and designers, plus a debut memoir from Yours Truly. And no, I’m not joking. ;)

As most of you know from the first issue, Mankind Mag is available both online and in print:

ONLINE= FREE. Preview it here, and download it here.
PRINT = $8.95. Purchase it here.

Also, we’re trying something new here at Design for Mankind. Many of you have written me asking if I’ll begin charging to download the magazine online. The answer is no, not yet. BUT, for those of you who have asked, I’ll now be accepting donations. This was a tough decision for me, because I truly love what I’m doing and would do it for free forever! :)

Just know that if you do decide to donate, the money you provide will go directly back into the magazine. I’d eventually like to hire a graphic designer and afford for all contributors to receive a copy. Until I have the funds to make that happen, I’m making do with what I’ve got, but I’d love to be able to do more! That’s where your donations come in, so thanks to those of you who offered the suggestion.

If you feel inclined to do so, please click the button below and you’ll be redirected to Paypal where you can contribute however much you’d like.

DONATION AMOUNT!

Again, thanks so much for your loyal readership, and enjoy the mag!
[As always, taking the day off to recoop! See you tomorrow...]

    This is INCREDIBLE! As soon as I saw the theme, I was hoping Yasmine would be involved. Not only is she featured, but a bunch of other amazing artists that I’ve yet to hear of and am so happy to be introduced to!

    And I’ve just read half of your hair autobiography…the seaweed love affair? hysterical!…and am making myself wait until the hard copy arrives to finish the rest.

    I am just so thrilled to have been able to contribute, in some eensy teensy way, to this masterpiece. You are an inspiration! xoxo

    PEACHY KEEN, ERIN! i love this issue and glad to see i’m not alone when it comes to issues concerning hair. your “autohairography” had me laughing out loud (missed my stop on the subway, too). also, i want to be ella bleu, not when i grow up, but now ;).

    Grace:

    Erin this is such a beautiful work of art! I seriously enjoy how you present art on so many non-traditional surfaces. Your autohairography was hilarious and made me feel that it is fine to fret with my ever-changing do. Thanks for all your wonderful inspirations!

    Hey Erin- Love it! I just donated through Paypal, but it wouldn’t allow me to add more $$$$. Perhaps I can send you a check? I’ll email you.
