When it comes to street art, saying there’s a gender disparity is a serious understatement, and Girl Mobb is working to change that. You can read all about it at The Creators Project (see more, too), and check out Girl Mobb’s Instagram and visit the Graffiti Camp Site.
Oh, souls. There are those who are insistent that souls are real, in spite of them being intangible and invisible. They have much in common with the invisible pink unicorn. I’ve been immersed in Medieval manuscripts again, and came across a depiction of the weighing of a soul, and a woman carrying a soul. Click images for full size!
There’s one mystery cleared up, eh? :D

The magic of Albert Janzen’s lines elude me. That said, I still love doing lines, so I’m going to do more.

I know there will be at least one person who sees these, and thinks to themselves, “oh c’mon, anyone could do that!” The truth is not anyone can do that, and while it might look simple and easy to do, it isn’t. Go ahead, get some paper, grab a ballpoint pen or marker, and go for it.
I love all these pieces, and yes, I have tried this sort of thing before, I don’t have the knack. My attempts are a mess.
After studying Philosophy and Mathematics in Berlin, London and Amsterdam, he decided to follow his artistic path while he discovered his love for the line. In 2015 Albert won the Luxembourg Art Prize 2015 whilst finishing his Masters in Logic at the University of Amsterdam. Inspired by the autonomous work of Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter and Zao Wou-Ki, Janzen’s line drawings represent themselves as an independent entity. The lines are very simple and basic, so various patterns can be constructed. The ultimate simplicity of the line manifests its independent aesthetics. Albert draws lines not to make simple drawings, but to draw lines that create art by themselves. The shapes and patterns occurring in Janzen’s drawings have no other purpose than to reveal the movements of lines.
You can see more of Albert Janzen’s work at iGNANT, or his website.
