THE
IN-BETWEEN
ISSUE
For everyone becoming
something they can't name yet.
DRAFTS!
NEW Quarterly art + life magazine
A collectible magazine about art, identity, growing up and all the weird, wonderful space between who you were and who you're becoming.
For everyone becoming
something they can't name yet.
/ WHY TOONSDAY
Not a manual for having it all figured out.
A place to make something while you don't.
Stories, art, advice and characters for every unfinished version of you.
/ INSIDE THE ISSUE
Part indie magazine, part beautiful sketchbook, part voice note from the friend who actually gets it.
IDENTITY
CREATIVE BRAIN
NEXT STEPS
/ FLIP THROUGH NO. 01
The first ToonsDay issue explores becoming—without pretending the middle is easy, linear or something you need to rush through.
A note from ToonsDay
You are allowed to be unfinished. You are allowed to change your mind, redraw the map, and carry more than one version of yourself.
