The first Le Cool Dublin cover of 2015.
By street artist Jess Tobin aka ‘Novice’.
Jess sez:
“Trying to capture an expression in the eyes of the people that I draw is a challenge that I enjoy & the lines from the eyes are there to emphasise this, this started to appear in my work a few years back when I started to leave in the construction lines. I am a fan of traditional, I guess it’s called old school tattoos and their composition, hence the heart. I often use a heart motif in my work. My first street art piece was one. The flowing lines of the ribbon and balanced composition of this style of tattoo appeals to me & my leanings towards OCD. These two parts of the illustration are kind of like the two sides to my art.”
This week’s Le Cool Dublin issue
….I like this cover…

Excellent
Shes quite good, did some painting for The Animators (Dublin hiphop band) a while back that was really nice. You should put a link to her FB page!

Very pleasing to look at.
one of my favourite covers!
I’m with these guys. Fantastic stuff.
Pretty poor illustration, unoriginal, bland and not traditional looking at all, gods knows where she learned that jargon about OCD and tattoo’s.

I agree – very nice.
But remind me not to cross the girl in the cover – she looks angry. Probably just read today’s UK Sun…
I really like this even the changing colouring in the Text from the ribbon beneath is very appeasing.
looks like a badly-rendered junior cert art piece. but that’s just my opinion.
Agreed. Its just bad.
