Bonjour! Greetings to everyone from Paris! My apologies for the brief silence. Trips do not always go as planned and my laptop decided it had other plans a couple of weeks ago. "Technical difficulties".. Ah well.. C'est la vie!
As I am trying to get stuff done before my return to the United States, I thought I would offer a follow up to my artsy octopus post from last year (here)
As a bit of contrast, here was a hyper awesome (and realistic) brass octopus at the gates to the Institute d'Oceanographie....
But I think most of the rest of these are more reminiscent of "dumbo octopuses" which we saw recently on the Okeanos Explorer...
These are placed all throughout Paris and its often a treat to go hunting for them in various corners of this wonderous city!
They are all the work of a street artist, GZUP Stretart (his facebook page is here) But many are goofy or otherwise "interpret" popular media icons..
Here for example.. ZOIDBERG!!
Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow!
The Mouse!
And just more....
Meh...
TROLL!
More sciency stuff next week...! after I've gotten more caught up!
