I am ABSOLUTELY thrilled to release the debut of Mankind Mag and am having the hardest time preventing an overuse of exclamation marks and caps lock. But just so you know, on my side of the screen? I'm jumping up and down with excitement.

Just finished reading it! I love the clean/fresh vibe it gives from cover to cover.
Also- the hand art story... LOVED the part about her mother and how the artist 'did' her hands even if no one else will ever see the artwork published (as per her mother's request). I found that to be so inspiring and beautiful. It's like just the process she went through in creating her mother's hands was the most important and truest aspect of the artwork instead of the finished piece. I'm so glad she honored that process, journey, and love for her mother. And thanks, Erin, for the article- for the WHOLE mag! - June 30, 2008 at 1:04 PM

Hi Anonymous!
I only wish it were mine! :) The cover work belongs to Amy Soczka. Her contact info is listed in the mag credits--- you should shoot her an email. She's quite talented! :) - July 7, 2008 at 4:54 PM

I've been away so I missed your debut, but I've just gone through the entire mag and, I must say, you have outdone yourself, Erin. I just love it! I particularly enjoyed the feature on Thereza Rowe. Congrats!

so amazing, Erin!! i just took a brief look, and as soon as i have a moment tonight i am buying my own paper copy. great job!!
AHHHH!!!! :)
WOW - so exciting - can't wait to dive in!
History in the making! Congrats!!!!
PS. Chris Jordan's work was on display at my college campus gallery, where I work as a monitor. it's amazing to see it in person. the canvases are huge and you can't tell what they are until you're up close. :)
looks amazing! The layout, design, content...everything is truly inspiring!
Erin!!! I´m so happy, the mag is amazing! and so beautiful. Congratulations!
Congrats Erin! I just flipped through the issue - so gorgeous and chalk full of good design. Enjoy your much deserved slumber!
Congratulations!!! This is super exciting. I probably would have cried...
congratulations Erin, it is wonderful wish it could be even longer :)
There's a place for everything that I love :)
Remarkable!! Congratulations on a new chapter for all of us!
So wonderful. wonderful. wonderful.
This is fantastic!! Congrats and all of your hard work has paid off. Beautiful!
As expected it is absolutely stunning! I especially loved the Ella Blue story. :)
Congrats! It's so lovely and minimal, yet full of pretty things. And the day planner? PERFECTION.
Amazing job Erin! :)
fantastic magazine. really beautifully designed. congrats!
You are truly fabulous! Love the cover, and am desperately telling that little status bar on my download window to PLEASE hurry itself up!
ohhh and your ella bleu photobook is gorgeous!!! love every bit of it!!! :)
Congrats on the new mag! It's amazing.
Very, very nice. Well done :)
Just finished reading it! I love the clean/fresh vibe it gives from cover to cover.
Also- the hand art story... LOVED the part about her mother and how the artist 'did' her hands even if no one else will ever see the artwork published (as per her mother's request). I found that to be so inspiring and beautiful. It's like just the process she went through in creating her mother's hands was the most important and truest aspect of the artwork instead of the finished piece. I'm so glad she honored that process, journey, and love for her mother. And thanks, Erin, for the article- for the WHOLE mag!
Well done, sweetie! Congrats to you! The issue is absolutely fab! I really adore it - beautiful and clean writing! You are truly talented!
Repetitive, I know, but Have to say- Fabulous! Absolutely, love. Kudos my friend :)
Oh it looks beautiful Erin! I will be coming back for more and more.
Now, go get some sleep, you hard workin' gal you!
You've done it again, Erin, and I enjoy the new format. You are amazing, my dear...
I know I completely overuse the word ditto, but . . .
♥♥♥♥♥♥
AAAGGGGHHHH! THANK YOU!!!! I've been gone ALL AFTERNOON getting a home inspection done and this is the first look I've gotten of the magazine. YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!!! Thank you a million times. :) I
Fantastic job - your hard work shows! I've found some inspiration on a day I wasn't really feeling it. Well done!
gorgeous, gorgeous!! i especially loved the visual interview with images answering the questions along with words. very cool.
I love the layout and the illustrations...such a refreshingly original idea in a time where everything is done again and again. Good for you and best of luck!!
You are so "can do". Super job.
Congrats! What a great accomplishment for you....and a treat for all of us.

Is there any way I can have myself a hard copy all the way over here in little England?
I love it! lovely and full of inspiration - thank you!!
Oh I so want to buy a copy of this- but like a few other people have said it doesn't ship overseas- is there anyway you could ask if there are some friendly people who would be willing to post a copy over to us?
This is so wonderful, and it looks like it took SO much work. How in the world did you manage this and your regular content? You must be the most disciplined person!
I´m dowloading mankind mag as we "speak" and counting the seconds before I can open it.
Huge congratulations, you deserve them!

A belated belated comment, but heartfelt none the less....Congratulations! You have put so much into this and it shows. You make me think of one of my favorite quotes by Charles Mingus. "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple."
