Art Daily: Paris Day Four

I had a very late start today. Sleep didn't come until 6 a.m. I'm chalking today up to a "rest" day. Good news is my muscles are healing and the metro stairs are getting a little easier. I can't say the same for the ones up to the apartment- 52 total up to the 3rd floor.

When I finally ventured out into the sunlight (diffused sunlight) I took line 10 to Tolbiac station. Emerging from the underground I was immediately greeted by a yellow mailbox covered in beautiful portraits by C215 (Christian Guemy/http://c215.fr). This is what it looks like standing on Rue de la Mason Blanche.

I headed down to Rue Tolbiac and walked East toward some Invaders I knew where nearby. I spotted a work by Miss.Tik on the door of a book shop as well as a lovely octopus above a cafe. Miss.Tik has a show at a gallery around the corner that I spotted on my way home Friday night.

Two Invaders on Rue Tolbiac:

Across the street from Eglise Notre-Sam de la Gare you can find this gem. C215 pays homage to Caravaggio with this Medusa. It's lovely.

Here is a link about the mural project that took place from 2001-2014 in the 13th arrondissement. Many of the ones you'll see next are part of that project.
