Aušrys Uptas

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Artist Takes Line Art To Next Level By Making Single Continuous Line Tattoos

Writing with a single line is hard enough – my cursive is nigh illegible – and drawing is even more so. That’s why Mo Ganji’s tattoo’s are so impressive. Animals, faces, flowers, Chewbacca – every design can be traced without lifting a finger. Such minimalist approach does make for stark, line art tattoos, though, so it might not be for folks who like their ink bright and vibrant.

Born in Tehran, Mo Ganji is of Iranian and German heritage, and lives and works in Berlin. “It is very easy to paint or draw a very fancy, detailed design” Ganji commented on minimalism in an online interview. “Anyone can add and add and add. It gets very interesting when you have a limited range of tools to work with. Creating something simple is way more challenging to me than creating something complex.”
