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.

PRINTABLE YEARLY CALENDARS
February 18, 2026
I had never heard of curling until I moved to Canada over a decade ago but I actually don't mind watching it from time to time and I would even like to play it at some point.
Little did I know it originated in Scotland in the early 1500's! And, the rocks that are used in the sport, all come from the same Scottish island, which are harvested under ecological supervision.
Fascinating!

P.S. Round of applause to the Reuters team who created this piece! The animations and illustrations make this truly a delight to read!

I love finding blogs made by people for people, though it's hard to find these as they often get lost in all the content noise that exists thanks to social media, AI, and corporate blogs that try to sell you something.
I just came across this site that shows you a new blog by just clicking on a button.
So cool!

YOU NEED TO BE BORED MORE OFTEN
September 07, 2025
 |
Loved this video! Yes!
I very much enjoy going out for a run for this same reason: when you're "bored", you have time to think about things you don't make time for, and you get to think about questions and answers you wouldn't have had time to think about if you would have been "entertained" scrolling through your feed.
I'm trying to get better at it.

NOW PLAYING: ALABASTER DEPLUME - IF YOU'RE SURE YOU WANT TO

Honestly, I knew nothing about them before writing this post. Their music came up and I had to look them up! It makes me feel like a character in a whimsy silent film. If that makes any sense. 😆

WHY DO WE NEED TRINKETS | A GRAPHIC DESIGN DISCUSSION
February 20, 2025
What are trinkets and why we love them. Is it nostalgia? An act of escapism from the day to day life? A way to express our personalities and interests?
Loved this short, sweet and insightful video by duda creative

August 22, 2024 New York, NY, USA
How cool are these studies! I came across the feed of NYC based photographer/director/artist Susanne Saroff and I couldn't stop scrolling! They're a bit quirky, colourful, and just fun!

MEREDITH WOOLNOUGH: STITCHED LETTER TO MY FUTURE SELF
August 20, 2024
This stitched letter by artist Meredith Woolnough made me smile and gasp at the same time!
"A stitched letter to ‘my future self’. A fun freehand machine embroidery activity to do on water soluble fabric. I especially love how the text becomes unreadable when the base fabric is washed away."See the original post here.

A SCULPTURE GARDEN IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
August 19, 2024 Aix-en-Provence, France
I'm a sucker for all things art, especially outside of a gallery space, and I've just found out there's this place called Château La Coste in the south of France which has a sculpture garden, gallery, and art + architecture walks.

NICE AUNTIES: LIVING A DREAM LIFE THANKS TO A.I.
July 20, 2023 Singapore
 |
| Prompt: Open call by @jupiterfong to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month |
From wearing fabulous outfits to beach parties to having high-fashion photo shoots next to oversized produce, this group of senior women is living an unconventional life. But they only exist thanks to AI.
Scrolling through the @niceaunties Instagram feed is as puzzling as familiar. The account serves as a sort of photo album in which we follow their intergalactic adventures as well as some mundane moments like cooking with mysterious foods that only exist in their alternate universe or morning meditations in sequined outfits. (Are there mornings in the Hyperspace?)

The first work of art to be shown in space is the mosaic of a space invader, created by French urban artist Invader, and it's been orbiting around the Earth since 2015.
It only seems fitting!

CURATING AN ART COLLECTION FOR PARTIAL
December 01, 2022
 |
| Nicole Krstin, Meditation Meds |
A few weeks ago, I was invited by Partial to curate a guest collection for their site!
I'm not gonna lie: after the initial excitement, this felt a bit daunting, too! Mostly because I wanted to create a collection that would tell a story and was more than just a group of works I liked. And so, after browsing through their impressive catalogue, I bookmarked some pieces and only then I started to notice a pattern: all of the works I had selected made me feel a particular sense of nostalgia.
You know that feeling you have when you can't remember where you've seen something before? Was it only a dream? Did you actually see it somewhere?
Based on that feeling, the name of my collection is: Dreams are Memories and it features works by fifteen emerging Canadian artists: Pandora Owl / Evelyn Trista / Nicole Kristin / Tal Paz-Fridman / Caroline Ji / Sonya Katashonova / Devon Pryce / Helen Tran / Laura Key Keeling / Catherine Mills / Erin McGean / Lilian Sim / Diane Fine / Corynn Kokolakis / Esther Kim.

About the collection:
"I find it very interesting to think of why we dream what we dream. Why our minds decide to capture a specific moment in time: An object, a person, a place. Why sometimes the scenes are clear and why sometimes it's all out of whack? For this collection I chose works that evoked a feeling of nostalgia. Not about a memory of something lived, but for the memory of something I could have seen in my dreams." -Carla Rojas
"Dreams are Memories" is now live on Partial.
Thanks to Partial for letting me be part of this project!

WHERE TO BUY ART IN TORONTO
August 21, 2022 Toronto, ON, Canada
 |
| Art by Marissa Schiesser via artterra.ca |
More often than you can imagine, I've been asked this question:
Where can I buy art in Toronto? -and across Canada
While the answer has changed a bit over the past couple of years (say before and after 2020), I figured I could put together a list of some of the places I often recommend in case you are looking for original art by local artists but you're not sure of where to start looking.
*While many of these sites are based in Toronto, some offer shipping across Canada.

The darker the colour, the more babies were born on that day... which also shows a trend on when people tend to conceive! tee-hee!

HOW WOULD SEX IN SPACE BE LIKE?
March 30, 2017
¿Cómo sería el sexo en el espacio?
Según el video, y la NASA, aunque hay registros de que una pareja de astronautas americanos viajaron al espacio al mismo tiempo, no se tiene registro de que alguien haya tenido sexo en el espacio... aunque al parecer algunos insectos y animales sí lo han logrado.
¡No sé ustedes pero el tema me encantó!... no sé tampoco cuántas veces ya he visto el video.
La ilustración y animación es de Tom McCarten.
According to this video, and to NASA, although there are records of a married couple who went to a space mission together, there's never been a case of a couple having sex in space. Although, apparently some insects and animals have.
Fascinating!
Also, I cannot remember how many times I've watched this video!
