  When Jason Ross, a designer and founder of the accessories label Artemas Quibble, was commissioned to design a belt for a magazine shoot styled by George Cortina, he started by looking on eBay. Ross knew it was for a GQ cover shoot, but not that it was for the October 2019 issue that would feature Brad Pitt — he only finds out his belts have made it when the issues come out.

• Beyond ‘The Scream’: How Edvard Munch Channeled a Timeless Sense of Dread

  17-03-2021 21:07 via artnews.com

  Tempera paints are loved by parents and educators for their washability and safety. We humbly suggest a third reason to love tempera: It’s wonderfully versatile.

In fact, as technologies develop, synthet
