Artist of the month

Taika Mannila

Taika Mannila is a Helsinki-based multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, and writer who is currently trying really hard to figure out if a girl can party and write a book at the same time. She’s known for dreaming and joking, and has been a “both hands in the air while playing” type of DJ for, like, a thousand years. Lately, she has found comfort in knowing that Charli XCX is interested in the concept of staying too long (at the party).

Taika describes the work done for Post Bar: “This is how I imagine the Patron Saint of Hot Girl Reading: flapping her angel wings as she lights yet another cigarette. I also have a strong gut feeling that Sexy Angel Summer is loading around the corner! Plus, I just read in my horoscope that May will be a magical time…”
