Urban Art Series - Jana und JS

This little urban art series has forced me to research some of the photos that I've taken on Paris streets over the years. Jana & JS are a French /Austrian couple whose stencil art is distinctive and completely unique. I am almost certain that I shot these in the Butte aux Cailles neighborhood. 

Urban Art Series - Jef Aerosol

An Urban Art Series would not be complete without another of my favorites, French stencil artist Jef Aerosol ( Jean`François Perroy)! He was one of the first urban artists in Paris and his creations can be found all over the city, but  I have found many in area around rue Mouffetard. 

Urban Art Series - Finding Nemo!

So let's start a mini series again. Street art in Paris can be found in every neighborhood. NOT to be confused with tagging, which I despise, but the creative endeavors of many street artists who do their work, I assume, in the dark of night. I'll share some of my favorites in the days to come.

Today, Nemo. His work is distinctive,  featuring the silhouette of a man with recurring rouge umbrellas and balloons. With my Paris Rouge obsession, I"ve enjoyed finding Nemo all over Paris. 

Paris Rouge LXXIII- Bonjour Mouseketeers!

Jef Aerosol is one creative guy. Who would expect to find one of the Mouseketeers immortalized on a building in Paris?  How many of you remember this original cast member's name???

Space Invaders Land in Paris

le Marais

In the early 90's, artist Invader installed his first mosaic in Paris.  Since that time, his colorful aliens have shown up in cities around the world.  Inspired by the Space Invaders game, these colorful tiles appear in well thought out locations all over Paris.  Have you found any on your travels?

Eliott- King Fisher

This intricate chalk drawing if by French urban artist Philippe Baudelocque. Amazing.

Paris Rouge XXVII- Marilyn in Paris

This stenciled urban art I found in the Marais. All I can find is the name PIMAX. I've googled it but have come up empty handed. And oui, I've combed all of Peter's blog posts on this subject and couldn't find this particular artist. Any help my dear readers can offer will be appreciated. For now, let's just enjoy Marilyn with the .......ummm banana!
