When I shot this a few years ago, I didn't even realize that Jef Aérosol loves les chats noirs! Even more reason to like his fun stenciled art around Paris.
I've never heard of this guy, but I like his art! Black kitties? Yes, please. I will keep my eyes out for his work when I return. Bonne semaine, V. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
As much as I hate the no-talent "taggers" who need to scribble on everything, I love Cletus Abraham and Jef Aerosol and the other graffiti artists who decorate the city with their witty works of art. Nice capture, V! (Love your weekend shots too. I was Internetless for a couple of days—aaargh)
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". My 2008 trip I looked at Paris with a different eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip. I was thrilled to return to Paris and the French countryside in June and July of 2009, and blogged daily while there. I've returned to the city I love in January and June- 2010 , January 2011 and January 2012! Each time I visit, it feels more and more like home, and I discover new and interesting things with each trip. I cherish the time with my Paris friends as well as the friends that always join me there. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

He depicts the characters of Paris well Virginia - les chats noirs and that cute liitle souris noir in the corner.

In his way, he's very poetic!
J'adore l'ambiance, cette atmosphère...on dirait un film d'action ou d'aventure!

This is both whimsical and sweet. Joyful, too!

Marvelous and delightful. Thanks for bringing it to us V.
Peter, and if memory serves, you got friendly with some of the stencil guys near our apartment didn't you?

J'aime beaucoup... Un bel hommage d'une grande photographe à ce talentueux artiste.
Gros bisous
He's becoming internationally famous.
Did you see the huge graffito Jeff Aerosol did right next to the Stravinsky Fountain?
