In the newsletter: Armour made of flowers, jelly art and more of the week's best links

Hello! You're reading the CBC Arts newsletter, and if you like what you see, stick around! Sign up here, and every Sunday we'll send you a fresh email packed with art, culture and a metric truckload of eye candy.

Because weekends are for adding another centimetre to your sofa's well-worn butt groove, there's an entire marathon of movie recos waiting under "You gotta see this." But first, for anyone still smiling over Parasite's best picture win, nerd out over the production design of the house, then queue up these classics of modern South Korean cinema. (Add Burning to that list, too — in case you somehow missed it.) Every living movie star is doing the new Wes Anderson, which is inspired by the New Yorker...and this influential art dealer. More than 150K lovely botanical illustrations just hit the public domain (and they are all extremely #cottagecore). Spend a day at the Justin Bieber museum (without actually going there).

And because we promised you eye candy

As someone with a morbid interest in '50s cookbooks, these jellies by Vancouver artist Sharona Franklin are the most ugly-gorgeous thing I've seen all week. She's about to open a solo exhibition in New York, which she spoke about with The Guardian — and the work's references to everything from B.C. flora and fauna to Sharona's experience living with disability are fascinating. I so want to learn more. (Also, I just want to poke them.)

The appropriate thing to wear when poking a jelly? "Petal armour" by Vancouver's Colette Stubbings.

This one's going out to all the Paper Cuts fans. Art by Karine Demers. (See her work at Galerie d'Este in Montreal to March 1.)

Stranger than fiction, right? This photo of mice (real mice!) fighting over a crumb on a subway platform won London's Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year award. (Hear the full story behind the image on CBC Radio's As It Happens.)

Fed up with dating apps? These artists were, too - In the search for emotional connection, you might be better off making art than messing around on Tinder. Hear from a bunch of Canadian artists who've been making sense of the trash mystery that is online dating. Like anyone stuck in the swipe life, turns out a sense of humour is key.

The Photograph (and 10 more Black love stories to watch this weekend) - Starring Issa Rae (Insecure) and LaKeith Stanfield (Atlanta), The Photograph is the latest from Toronto filmmaker Stella Meghie. Amanda Parris is a fan, and if you're in the mood for a movie binge, she's picked 10 of her all-time favourite romance flicks.

This video is simply the best - Remember THAT Schitt's Creek serenade? The show's Noah Reid reveals three of his favourite love songs, and they're all extremely CanCon.

Follow this artist (@ovila79) - Need more warm fuzzies? Ovila's a Coast Salish digital artist, and he's one of several Indigenous artists who were commissioned by the CBC's social media team to design cards in their ancestral languages. (Have a look.)
