Anarchy! Passion! Big brawls! These cats are doing it all. For Léo Forest (@leo___forest ), the lovable, independent, wily, and territorial creatures provide an endless source of inspiration for dynamic pencil drawings. He taps into the physical and emotional quirks of cats, from tussling pairs to individuals in the midst of grooming, scratching, or attacking.  Read more via the link in bio.

Nothing and nobody is perfect. Imperfections can be found everywhere. From June 18 to 21, experience how these defects and shortcomings, these imperfections and flaws, can lead to fascinating discoveries and beautiful creations at the 2026 Bosch Parade (@boschparade ). This edition’s theme, ‘Powered by Defects,’ pays a contemporary tribute to the large and small wrongdoings in the world. Dedicated to painter Hieronymus Bosch, the Bosch Parade honors the artist’s fascination with the fantastical and absurd. Participating artists embody his philosophy and aesthetic with floating artworks uniquely created for the parade. This year, an international fleet of nineteen new creations will sail down the Dommel river at the centre of ’s-Hertogenbosch, where the artist was born and eventually adopted his name from. Learn more about this year’s edition and programming through the link in bio. . . . #BoschParade #netherlands
