SPRING 2026

How real creatives Make their mark

In this Spring 2026 issue, we set out to understand how real creatives actually make their mark, not just the finished work, but the path behind it. Across illustrators, 3D animators, graphic designers, sculptors, and photographers, this issue focuses on the real stories, decisions, struggles, and obsessions that shaped their creative voice. Some built careers, while others built practices outside of their day jobs, but all of them found a way to leave a mark that is entirely their own. This issue is about the process of becoming, not just the work, but the person behind it.
