I’ve been resisting behind the scenes content for a while. Felt off-brand, felt forced. But I think I figured out a version that actually fits what TOMO mags is about: sharing what’s happening in our world, pointing our community toward people and organizations we admire, and being a good host to everyone making Austin a stop on their way through. So here’s what’s good right now: We’ll be at @schooltastic_bookfair this Saturday, 12 to 6pm, with a strong lineup of magazines and design goods. Limited edition stationery gift packs included. The Financial Times is now in the shop. Grab a coffee, read the news, stay a while. We’re always down to talk current events. @northernsouthern is opening L. Renée Núñez: OBSIDIAN MIRROR this Sunday, May 17, 5 to 7pm. Her first solo show. Sensitive, light, unstretched paintings with one foot in the other world. Worlds before and after humans. Born in Texas, Indigenous and Mexican American, living and working on the Edwards Plateau near Balcones Canyonlands Preserve. New lineup of fashion, fragrance, and skincare in the shop. The concept store side is feeling really good. And if you’re curious what our postcard recs usually look like, this is also a direct call to our editor and visitor friends from around the world. Austin has some incredible stuff happening in the arts, fashion, and community realms. Here’s a quick cheat sheet (another video to follow) of some must-follows: @marthas.atx @ivester_contemporary @mclennon_pen_co_ @vada.world @nixtataqueria @uncommonobjects @massgallery anything by @futurefronttexas @ojo.ojo.ojo @museocentro @thelittlegayshop @livrabooks @timebeingbooks @firstlightbooks @showandtell_austin @thepapercraftpantry @jellomomvtg @happy____accidents @lolo_wine @laulauatx @fleetcoffeeco @cielitolindocafetx @hechoamanocoffee Come say hi.

TOMO mags is also a concept store and if you’ve visited us you know you can spend hours exploring. We just received Et Tigre and a few other brands including skincare, apothecary, and accessories. Think of flipping through a magazine and now you’re in the fashion editorial, expertly curated for you. 💙🧢

This week’s batch hit different and I had to say something. The reason we love it: every single one of these goes below the surface of what a glossy magazine usually does. These are the conversations we actually want to be having. @aodmagazine AoD Issue 003, Future Legacies. Conversations with founders and cultural architects on navigating expansion with integrity, and redefining what legacy means for Black entrepreneurship in real time. That focus alone is why this magazine matters. @mymotleybloom Motley Bloom. A quarterly print magazine built around neurodivergent-first living, and it’s done so well. The space it creates feels necessary and long overdue. Tactile, sensory, intentionally loud. Unalike, together. @bywayof.us It’s Okay to Try, from the By Way of Us team. Essays and conversations about change, evolution, and giving yourself permission to keep trying. Something so many of us are moving through right now. This one feels extremely relevant. @revueprofane Profane out of France, devoted entirely to amateurs. People who make and collect purely out of love. No market, no audience, just obsession. KATO, I Am Beams. Thirty years of one Beams buyer’s personal archive. Why he chose what he chose. A whole life in objects. @twinsbrandservicesllc TOKY-LAND from Twins Brand Services. A fully invented fictional corporation built detail by detail through warning labels, HR manuals, and pharma packaging. Worldbuilding as art form. And of course, the June issue of Popeye, Made in USA Catalog. Always a TOMO mags staple. What ties them all together: people creating worlds that are intentional, built detail by detail, celebrating amateur voices taking risks to become experts on their own terms. This is exactly what TOMO mags is for. Come find yours 💙💙

A fresh stack, a full weekend 💙🧢 Magazines have been rolling in and the timing couldn’t be better. Tomorrow and Sunday we’ll be at Future Front’s Front Market from 11am to 5pm, and the shop is open both days 8am to 5pm. Here’s a quick run through some of the titles that just arrived: Waiting, Purple, Popeye, Motley Bloom, Profane, Solo, Cameraholics, Tauko, a Dance Mag, Boy Brother Friend, Frederic, and Austin Home. A sidenote we want to share: something we loved noticing while making this... There is real diversity in what we bring to the table. That matters. It matters more than ever, especially when the institutions that we relied on to defend justice and representation are under attack. Individual posts, stories, and announcements coming soon. Our newsletter still goes out tonight with more titles revealed, talks announced, workshops open, and activations on the way. See you this weekend 💙🧢
