January 3, 2014November 22, 2014 | The 22 Magazine Dear Everyone,First, thanks for being you.Thanks for all your ideas, work, events, and gracious praise you ve sent over the past years. It is with no small amount of bittersweet sadness that I m officially announcing that Volume 4 will be the last issue of The 22 Magazine for the time being. After much discussion over the holidays between myself and others, we ve come to the conclusion that as much as we love this project and the people who take part in it, our current opportunities and obligations elsewhere are making it impossible for us to take the time and patience needed to make this project A+. That being said, I don t worry. There are so many publications out there doing great things, I m certain this drop in a bucket won t be missed, nor forgotten.If anything changes we will certainly be here to get publishing back on track.We are still in the process of discussing a possible book publishing project in the next few years (similar to what we do now, on a more lax schedule.) On that note. The final volume will be released in just a few weeks and we will announce it available for print and online. We will follow with the closing up of shop.Have we told you how much fun you were to work with? Have we reminded you how excited we are to see you future work?Well we are. What an amazing collection of creatives we ve encountered.Please do not give up the good work.Don t hesitate to give us a shout if you have questions, concerns or just want to say goodbye.We cannot thank everyone enough who participated and contributed to this project.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.Editor and Publisher,Cat GilbertSPREAD ITTweetShare on TumblrMoreEmailLike this:Like Loading...
