I’m not sure if I consider grafitti art but I guess it is in a way. I seem to see more and more of it in Paris, especially up on Montmartre.
I saw this one several times, usually on sidewalks.
This was glued up next to some advertisements announcing a tango show.
The Persian hands to the left are grafitti too.
I saw many of these around Paris, mostly in Montmartre, all painted in different ways. I guess the artist did a plaster paris of his face then made a solid face. They are cemented onto walls.

I saw lots of it around Paris …I thought lots of it was very good, so not offensive, quite enjoyed seeing it done in a tasteful manner. I took quite a few photos, still need to do the posts.

Public art can be so amazing - this is way better than graffiti!
Been away a lot - sorry I’m late catching up with you dear.
Hope all is well and you are enjoying Autumn.

I think sometimes it is - but not when it defaces property! Guess I can’t have it both ways. Anyway, enjoyed looking at these pieces of “art”!

OMG I just saw that last one, the face with the tongue sticking out, last week while wandering around with my friend who was visiting from NYC.
