How to make people watch Shakespeare: Just put Emma Watson in everything

From the 2020 Pirelli Calendar by Paolo Roversi

Renowned fashion photographer Paolo Roversi took inspiration from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for the 47th edition of the Pirelli Calendar. Historically, The Cal featured provocative images of women, but recently the brand has moved away from scantily-clad models to more artistic themes. Roversi chose Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Rosalía, Yara Shahidi, and Stella Roversi to interpret the role of Juliet for the calendar.

Speaking of his work, the Italian lensman said: "The idea of Juliet came to me because I have been exploring the themes of beauty and love for several years. I have also investigated femininity and tenderness. Juliet is all of this. When I think of a feminine ideal, I think Juliet is one of the few characters who successfully embodies it in herself." Thank God there's not a single Romeo to be found. Anyway, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the 2020 Pirelli Calendar:

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
