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.
Whoooo Hoooo!!!! Congrats on the new issue…fabulous!
Congratulations on a job well done. I am off to get some tea and enjoy some reading! Get some sleep friend.
Ooh. I love.

Hey you…great job.
hair-beautiful! another wonderful issue! love all of the artists and the design.
I can’t wait to dive in!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! great job erin! thanks for letting me be a part of it!
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
I can’t wait to dive in :)
Looks fabulous!!! Downloaded and ordered. Check! ♥
How fun is that! I need to go look at the first issue!
I’m not really blogging for a couple of weeks, but of course had to check this out right away! :) I’ll try to sneak some time to do a post tonight as well. Love the hair illustrations by Colleen Sanders and the Autohairography! Oh the 80’s bangs… I never had mall bangs at least…

Hi Erin!!!
It is fabulous.
I can’t have a bad hair day, not even if I wanted :)
Great work!
Congratulations.
Another great issue, well done lovely :) As soon as I saw “hair” I thought of my fellow Brit Heidi Burton and her wonderful illustrations so I was so pleased to see her included :)
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 ;).
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!
outstanding, yet again :)
yay!!! can’t wait to read it, erin!
you are a rockstar…always!

Yay! I’m excited to take a look. The hair theme sounds like fun.
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.
Another great job. I’m so impressed with what you achieve.
