The geometric water colours of Jacob Van Loon (Above: ‘8th & Main’ [1,2 and video], ‘Pershing’ [3,4] and ‘Haish’ [5,6]). Grids of boxes drawn and redrawn over layers of white-out fluid, like abstract architectural plans, sometimes neatly filled, sometimes haemorraging colour. Sez he:
By the time I have a final sketch, the layers of primer are caked up and full of valleys and ridges created by broad brush strokes. “When I’m ready for color, it’s not just about pragmatically filling in the spaces, it’s about putting paint down, letting it travel in the valleys and ridges, and seeing where and how it all comes to rest.

Soulé – video for Love No More, appearing at HWCH
What you may need to know…
01. R’n’B singer Samantha Kay, aka Soulé, has made waves with her first single, as well as a packed house for her debut solo show at the Workman’s in Dublin last month.
02. Love No More, originally penned as a ballad, is a statement of intent for the young vocalist, who spoke recently to District Mag of her desire to work in dichotomies, “to make tracks that people can dance to, but might have the complete opposite theme in the lyrics”
03. Streaming above is the video for Love No More, directed and produced by Diffusion Lab.
04. Appearing next at Hard Working Class Heroes festival, on October 7th at Tengu, as part of the Word Up Collective’s stage. Kickoff at 8.10.
VERDICT: Ambitious, and in possession of serious potential, Soulé is one to keep an eye on.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Senator Michelle Mulherin
However, Ms Mulherin, who previously obtained tickets when she was a TD for Mayo, criticised the GAA over its approach, saying: “In my view, this is clear discrimination by the GAA in relation to members of the Oireachtas.”
Ms Mulherin said she does not understand why senators are treated differently to TDs.
She claimed senators are equally supportive of the GAA at a local level and that this seems to have been overlooked by the Croke Park authorities.
Good times.

Any idea why criminal charges were not brought against Lloyds pharmacy for their irregularities? We should all head in to Lloyds and “borrow” some Disprin.
Anyone?
