Welcome to Blue Jay in the Bay, a Toronto-tinged gem from Josh Harnack’s unofficial collaboration series — where forgotten landscapes are reimagined with personality and play. Rescued from a storage locker of over 6,000 abandoned paintings, this beachside scene now features an oversized Blue Jay (Toronto’s iconic bird) mid-squawk with a curious raccoon (the city's unofficial mascot) listening intently. The CN Tower peeks out in the distance, while a hot air balloon and seagulls drift overhead, adding a touch of dreamy absurdity. Equal parts local love letter and surreal showdown, Blue Jay in the Bay invites you to eavesdrop on a moment that’s as whimsical as it is wild.
