Soul's Mark Magazine
One edition is published so far (documenting my travels to Ibiza, Spain), but more are in the works!
Check out my 200+ Page Ibiza Art Book.
I made this hardcover magazine by taking inspiration from fashion magazines, but putting my own spin on it. I love to combine different things; I think it's what makes the best art forms. A bit of surprise or uniqueness is what leads to innovation and other new whacky ideas. Taking risks is a trailblazing energy I now LOVE, and it always moves society forward!
It was a huge risk and leap to spend the summer in Ibiza after I had recently quit my job and was living paycheck to paycheck; would I have enough money? Why was God leading me here? Turns out when God leads you somewhere, there's always a reason. And the bigger the risk, oftentimes the bigger the reward.
"I've always had an interest in editorial design and especially fashion magazines. I was yearbook editor-in-chief at my high school, and our book went on to win design/publishing awards. After a rather disappointing info interview at Vogue HQ in NYC several years ago, I dreamt of making my own magazine. And here she is." -Abbey
Soul's Mark: Ibiza Art + Travel Guide: An Art Therapy Fashion Magazine: Volume 1
This hardcover book began as something both fun and deeply personal. I created it first and foremost for myself—a physical testimony of my wild ideas, creative experiments, travels, outfits, photographs, conversations, and insights. A place to remember who I was becoming in real time.
What unfolded is more than a magazine. It is part art photography book, fashion editorial, travel journal, creative workbook, and part spiritual testimony.
There are 28 Art Therapy Activities that I included in the middle as well, something I'm very passionate about.
