Well, I have been honoured and privileged to have had the opportunity to feast on this wall of creativity pretty much every day for the last year. Ever changing and morphing into different forms, Rue des Pyrenées has been a vast canvas for urban essays issuing from the cans of some of the finest street artists in Paris. [...]

A fascinating retrospective of  the Czech toy Designer Libuše Niklová who designed ground breaking flexible toys from the 50’s to the 1980’s. [...]

This is so lovely it makes me want to shout from the rooftops about it!

Just check out those curves-that’s no Ford Mondeo!
Visited Les Arts Décoratifs last night to see the exhibition L’art de l’auto mobile. [...]

Some quite beautiful works of art in the 20th arr in Paris. The site of an old bus depot which is currently embroiled in political machinations regarding planning permission is currently a canvas for Parisian based taggers of all styles and persuasions. [...]

Well actually, that is a bit of a misnomer. I was suddenly distracted by the title and drifted into Ramones revere. Cerebral rockers if ever there were any. So no sedation and no lobotomy…. for now. [...]

This page features the ‘infinite scroll’ plug-in so no need to click the link ‘older’. Just scroll down the page. This is a recent issue that will be sorted once the madness of day-to day life has receded  a little bit!

More interesting Parisian angles. This time from the drawing board of Architect Christian de Portzamparc. Situated in The Parc de la Villette, [...]

Absolutely stunned by this adshell in Pigalle Metro. It was meant to be delivering some sales pitch for some useful, but ultimately pointless item [...]
