Obsolete in Nature by David Ellingsen

Where does our obsolete technology go when it dies? David Ellingsen suggests that it returns to the wilds from whence it came, reintegrating itself into the natural world in one last ditch effort to remain relevant.

The Arts of Victo Ngai

Coming out of New York, freelance illustrator Victo wields art like a delicate katana, parcing surreal concepts from the exposed limbs of the real world. Her work has been featured ubiquitously across the galaxy, everywhere from The New Yorker to McDonalds ad campaigns and are full of curious minutae that incite you to keep searching for that one hidden detail you may have missed.

Spirit Animals by Polkip

The lurking creatures of Polkip’s imagination blend distinct hues, negative space, and just a hint of knowing something you don’t to coalesce into these ethereal animals. Prints available at Society6.

You’ve Changed by Jesse Harris

Located at 1075 Queen Street West, adjacent to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto and meant to be a positive message for patients and the neighborhood. Though honestly, I think the oppressive sight of those words feels more accusatory, alerting me to a crime I didn’t remember committing (though certainly did).

Animal Portraits by Charlotte Caron

The reality of humanity is that we’re still animals on a basic level, Charlotte’s portraits expose that more feral side to our nature.

Real Life Flemish Portraits by Sacha Goldberger

Taking a cue from Rembrandt, Sacha enlisted a small army of costume, hair, and make-up designers to assist his human and live animal models. My personal photo would have been with a mongoose. Aint no cobras coming after me.

Baby Ninja Turtle Street Art by CeLF

Baby, but not quite teenage, turtles always know to swim to the ocean, no matter what sewer they were born in.
