This lively issue of Y35 Mag offers a platform to three creative geniuses from all over the United States. Jesse Hebner (California), Dana (USA), and Jack Connors (Maryland) have SO much to say, and SO much to offer. Their voices are LOUD, and in their own ways, their art is imaginative and purposeful. Their words are painful and comical and stimulating and reassuring. They are honest and engaging. Through the accompanying imagery they've chosen to showcase, their vivid art is not only visually stunning and aesthetically pleasing to admire, but it also gives meaning and context to their individuality and self-expression.

Taking a deep dive into this issue will truly offer you the ability to perceive raw emotion, the creative drive behind a diverse set of minds, and a spectrum of perspectives illustrating how we all find love and passion through film. Through interviews with Jesse and Jack, as well as "A Love Letter" penned by Dana, you will find insights into their visions, inspiration, and a sense of community. Jesse, Dana, and Jack are authentic and express themselves through their words and photographs without restraint- without fear or reluctance to open up and share about personal struggles. There is plenty of lighthearted content to devour as well, to be sure. Thanks for looking and taking the time to appreciate the art.
