Warm Bros. - Issue 04

Our last issue came out in the early months of 2019. How the world has changed since then. For the first time in 2 years, we are back to present our 4th issue “On Memory.” Featuring 29 queer contributors, 2 gorgeous cover models and designed over the span of one long lockdown year, this issue acts as a time capsule for 2020, who we were before it, and perhaps who we will become after.

Printed on 62 pages of full color newsprint, the issue is a balancing act of careful consideration and playful energy. From the 1990s-referencing logo to the bright pops of yellow, this zine is a complete refresh from the soft pinks and romantic hue of our 3rd issue, “Boys’ Paradise.”

Within these pages you will discover quick, fun and, at times, moving vignettes into these folx lives and memories. From a letter addressing a complex relationship between mother and son to a series of 100 selfies taken by 100 different people over the course of nearly a decade, this issue allows a rare peak into people’s past lives. Collected and designed during the COVID-19 pandemic, this issue is a frozen look into a year when everything changed.
