I just finished putting together Issue 19 of the magazine! I've learned so much from the process of working on this issue, and I've met so many new people along the way, so I'm thrill to finally share it with you all. Since putting out issue 18 in the January, I've been working on various projects between New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and slowly piecing together this issue along the way. I feel like recently I've become more and more consumed and involved with the work of the artists I've been able to talk to through FORGE, and it's led to some collaborations that I'm excited to share later on in the year. As I take more opportunities to make personal work or produce work with other artists, I'm excited to see how it'll affect the shape the magazine takes in the future. In a lot of ways this issue gives some foreshadowing to the ways I hope to support more artists in the future and the role the magazine will have in creating a platform for unique projects! Thanks so much to everyone who has committed any time or energy to making this issue possible! I'm so glad I had the chance to include all of the artist that are featured in this one, and I hope you enjoy learning more about their work! It's been a crazy undertaking, and I hope that each of you can take something valuable away from this one!
