The Fox is Black

  • There is such a calm and tranquil feeling in the work of Korean illustrator Han Yoomi. I happened upon their work on Twitter, and I was instantly struck by their use of negative space and color. Like the first piece below, which captures an idyllic farm scene, a woman feeding a rooster with vegetation framing them, creating an intense intimacy. I’m also so impressed with their range, as far as illustrative styles go. The second piece below is ethereal and dreamy, a young girls vivid imagination brought to life, while the third piece is rather realistic, like a portrait done with pastels in nature. Really beautiful work here, so glad I came across their work.

  • You could describe photographer Ian Lanterman as a mysterious person. After doing my normal bit of research, I can’t many details about him. What I can say is that he’s a photographer from Vancouver who specializes in portraits and still-life. I was deep in a rabbit hole and came across his work which has a timelessness to it, and very editorial in nature. There’s also a little something fantastic about his images, always an interesting detail, an unexpected pose, a feeling like you’re catching a glimpse of something very special.
