Ladies & Gents, without further ado, I present to you 23BLVD’s pilot issue “‘93 TIL INFINITY.” 23BLVD captures urban & youth culture through fashion, lifestyle, art, music, and other surrounding sub-cultures. These 36 individually hand-crafted pages are dedicated to my mother & the era I love. Thank you for those who have supported it so far. Enjoy!

Signed, Sealed, & Delivered.

Yesterday morning I mailed out the first issue of 23BLVD, a zine hand-crafted by yours truly. This has been a project in mind for quite some time now, ever since I freelanced as an Associate Market Editor for a woman’s magazine. In that short amount of time, I was inspired to create something of my own. Finances and lack of hand were against me to start off as a full magazine production. But the idea of this maga/zine has been haunting me since. Humbled by the process and roots, I’m laying the foundation for 23BLVD by starting it off as a zine. Everything in this zine was hand-crafted (except for the cover), meaning cut and pasted from paper then glued down to make a spread. This was entirely personal, a baby almost that I’ve cared and raised during a 2.5 week process. I hope you all appreciate the work and effort I’ve put in this, as well as see the passion that I’ve written, cut, & pasted onto those pages. 

This first issue’s theme: ‘93 til Infinity

It will be available to view online tomorrow night, FEBRUARY 1st @ 23:00 hours. 

The first copy of issue 1 hand-binded! :)

Hands-off. This copy is mine.
