The Bad News
This year has been a strange one for YWFT, that is for sure.

Part & Parcel is a new studio from Brooklyn heavy hitters, Damien Correll and Garrett Morin.

Looks like It’s Nice That Issue 2 has been printed and is for pre-order. 128 pages with four main features, seven interviews and 50 pages of select work. Looks very well done and nice to see time and effort into a publication.
