Polish artist and illustrator Paweł Kuczyński is famous for his political and satirical take on world events. This time the famous artist strikes again with the current fad of Pokémon GO as an app/game taking over the globe, and his observations are spot on as usual.

Take a look at the gallery above for some more of his satirical illustrations and make sure to check out Paweł Kuczyński’s Facebook.

As rumors continue to circle around a potential joint album between Jay Z and Beyoncé, it looks like the other half of The Throne has found a new running mate, too. Kanye West was one of a handful of special guests to join Drake at last night’s OVO Fest in Toronto, where he all but confirmed a full-length collaboration between Yeezy and Drizzy.
Continue reading below… “Toronto, I got one question for you: is y’all ready for this album? I’m not talking about Pablo. I’m not talking about VIEWS. I wanna ask y’all right now,” Kanye said, before pointing to Drake. “Y’all ready for this album?”
If Kanye’s choice of words was a little ambiguous, then there was no doubt as to what project Drake was referring to. “What my brother was asking you before was, are you ready if we make an album?” he asked the crowd shortly after.
This isn’t the first time there’s been talk of a Kanye and Drake album; during an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2015, Ye revealed that he and Drake were planning a joint project called Wolves, which unfortunately never materialized.
Then, earlier this year, Kanye announced that he’s got new music with Drake and Future on the way.
