Wobby was originally founded in 2015 by Jeroen de Leijer, Marjolein Schalk, S.L. Trumpstein (Stephan de Weert), a group of artists rooted in the absurdist tradition in the Southern Netherlands. What began as a project to showcase their own work and that of other artists, has since grown into a global magazine, featuring a wide variety of creators from across the world.

The first issue was themed ‘Jong en Belegen,’ which translates to 'Young and Aged', referring to cheese, a beloved delicacy in the Netherlands. It was released on April 2, 2015, at NS16 in Tilburg (NL), where we still have our studio today.

It contains work of Jeroen de Leijer (NL), Moedars (NL), Bobbi Oskam (NL), Marjolein Schalk (NL), Eva Stalinski (NL), and Steppie Lloyd Trumpstein (NL).

Unfortunately, this issue is sold out, but you can still browse all our available issues in our webshop!
