This Image of the “Al Kaba” symbolizes me because it’s one of the many but most important holiest Islamic places. This shapes me because I’m a Muslim and I’m not ashamed of it.

Meet Horoyoshi III, considered to be one of the world's finest full body tattoo artists. He has worked in Yokohama, near Tokyo, for the past 50 years.
This article was by Charlie Floyd and Ju Shardlow and it was posted in July 2019. People have tattoos on for many reasons it can symbolize protection, it can have a strong meaning for the owner and many other meanings. In Japan they have tattoos throughout their whole body. “That’s not what we see everyday.” I find the whole thing very interesting and all of the history.
This is an interesting case. It’s modern day art, in a modern situation, but it’s drawn with an updated version of the traditional Korean artstyle.
Korean artstyle is quite distinctive. Every Asian artstyle has its own traits, and Korean is no different. Korean art tends to use minimal shadows, with the only ones really used are on the ground.
It’s quite interesting to see, mixing both modern and traditional into this piece.
This is traditional Korean calligraphy.
Korean calligraphy is done similar to many others. using gentle ink brush strokes to write sentences writing down and back. The red ink in the middle is used to represent how it is finished.
What makes this unique is that every single character can be differentiated. Perhaps this may be biased, but I find Korean calligraphy to be the most beautiful.
This graffiti art was done in tribute. The art is of YouTuber Desmond Amofah, who’s known as Etika online.
Desmond committed suicide several months ago, losing a battle against deteriorating mental health. His many fans have created a lot of art in tribute for him, but several artists went the next level and created a mural in his honor.
Not only is it a beautiful art piece, it truly shows how much the fans cared about it.
Rest in Peace, Desmond. #JOYCONBOYZFOREVER
Lushsux is an Australian street artist who’s been my go-to favourite for years. His street art is very popular, being constantly showcased in the news for different reasons such as being political or abstract, or making an honourary portrait of someone who has passed. His funny and colourful graffiti very much appeals to me. The fact that he makes art for fun on the daily, some with no real meaning at all but to make people smile and laugh has all of my respect.
Flamenco Dance Show during dinner at El Palacio Andaluz, Seville, Spain. The costumes, the dignified poise, the stomping footwork bedazzled us while we ate, ...
Flamenco dancing is a highly expressive Spanish dance-form. The art is there, it’s wonderful. There is such strong emotions when you watch Flamenco dancing and perform it. As I have some Spanish background, I very much identify as someone who practices Spanish culture. Flamenco dancing being an important part of it.
“Map of Human Touch” done by Emma Krenzer is a map she made for school. She was asked to make a map, and instead of making the kind of map we are used to seeing, she made a map of human touch. This picture of a woman is covered by different coloured finger paint and on the bottom right is a legend of who touched her where. This picture touches on sexual assault, a huge problem that has been going on for as long as people have been alive. Something i’m too familiar. This issue strongly matters to me. This happens to children, students, older women, no matter what age. Every woman’s body is her own and no one is ever “asking for it”.
