BEHIND TOMO MAGS
Not just a magazine shop—a playground for your brain.
TOMO mags began as a passion project inside a restored school bus—traveling throughout the city, popping up at galleries, universities, and coffee shops. What started on wheels grew into experimental spaces and collaborations, and today it continues with our shop in Austin and the rebirth of the TOMO mags bus. We’re still on the move, still building spaces that invite curiosity. Find inspiration, discover new voices, and take something real in your hands to push your ideas forward or simply enjoy.
