Artist: Tristan des Limbes

(Rue Garreau, Montmartre, Paris)

I saw these Tristan des Limbes paste-ups while I was in Paris a couple of weeks ago.

Their simple yet polished look fit well on the aching apartments lining Montmartre's cobbled paths.

At the top of Montmartre is la butte - the hilltop - where I found the Sacre Coeur. It's a beautiful white church with broad views of Paris.

I didn't expect to see street art along the walk. Now Acid Midget is a street art blog made in Paris.

And I've half guessed that Tristan des Limbes might translate as "Tristan in Limbo".

Shyeah, you wouldn't think it from looking at these posters. Maybe Tristan watches Salad Fingers too much:

Street artists obviously hate Paris

Do you remember the time we met in Paris, ma cherie?


We ate snot from snail shells, drank aged wine and rubbed necks undeur le Eiffel Toweur.


Maybe it's a widening gap between rich and poor, or perhaps le expectation that, regarding le art, France is 'where it's at'.


Whateveur. All I know is that our date was 'Schwarzeneggered' when we stood outside Cartier for some romanteec picteurs.


We saw zis feuking homeless guy wheatpasted on le shopfront. It made moi feel so bourgeois. I was disgusted.
