Hold on Whale!¹ was created during Covid-19². As I watched the world shut down, people suffer and climate disasters continue to unravel,  I found myself feeling hopelessly useless. This magazine is an attempt to find meaning behind the chaos, put our egos to the side and listen to nature.

Since then, it’s developed into a collective art project³ and is the result of friends overlapping in so many creative, surprising ways. Thank you⁴ all for sharing your powerful stories!

  1. An indie art zine
  2. Holy shit, can you believe that even happened?
  3. It’s published annually
  4. Want to get involved? Please reach out!
