Squarespace's Renaissance portraits of modern-day creators showcase the 'best of the worst year'
Customers like Tia Adeola and Tim Heidecker get their due in cheeky illustrations by Igansi Monreal
Editor's Pick
At the end of a year that’s been brutal for small businesses around the world, Squarespace is highlighting half a dozen entrepreneurs who have been able to thrive this year despite the pressures of the pandemic, with digital portraits that take inspiration from another time of rebirth—the Renaissance.
“Browser History” imagines New York-based fashion designer Tia Adeola (above) as a needle-wielding dervish, surrounded by cherubic fans sporting the face masks she creates for celebrities and customers alike. The animated illustration is backed by a vaguely British voiceover detailing her accomplishments.
Each portrait created by Igansi Monreal proclaims its subject one of the “Best of the Worst Year.”
“‘Browser History’ is the first iteration of Squarespace’s annual series honoring the most creative and unique customers who bring their ideas to life on our platform every year," said Squarespace Chief Creative Officer David Lee in a statement. "I'm proud of how far the team has been able to push the boundaries of web design with the development of this dynamic site.”
