CREATING TITLES FOR S2 OF NETFLIX'S BEEF

I recently watched the second season of Beef, and loved the titles at the beginning of each episode! 
The juxtaposition of Flemish paintings and contemporary type was so good! 

If you're into typography, design, film, and art, this article on It's Nice That is such a good read!

*Titles by Benjamin Tuttle. Creative direction by Lee Sung Jin.

P.S. Look up Beef on Google and see this animation come up on your screen. lol.

VANESSA MCKERNAN: THE ART OF WANDERING

A few weeks ago, I discovered the work of Vanessa McKernan. There was something about the dreamlike quality of her paintings that immediately stayed with me.

Originally from Toronto and now based in the Ottawa Valley, Vanessa creates intuitive works that weave together themes of memory, motherhood, and the complexities of the feminine psyche.

I was able to visit Abbozzo Gallery to see the exhibition in person and had the chance to ask Vanessa a few questions about her process and the recurring themes that appear throughout her work.

If I were a character in a painting looking to have fun, I'd like to hang out in a piece by Hayley Axelrad.

Axelrad's world is as colourful as glamorous, with a pinch of humour, which is why I was thrilled to find out of Hayley's recent collaboration with legendary shoe designer Manolo Blahnik. 

In fact, I was so happy about this I had to hop on a call with Hayley to know more about how this collaboration came to be. It's always great to see Toronto artists making waves internationally.

WHO READS ART BLOGS ANYWAY?

Earlier this week, I came across a video on TikTok that said something like: "If no one is coming to save you, no one is probably coming to stop you either". It's such a simple idea that felt surprisingly powerful and, dare I say... liberating? Maybe this is the friendly advice I needed to start posting again?
