Anne Hidalgo: "Cars Will Not Return To the Eiffel Tower" after the Olympic Games.

"The Trocadéro will be greened and the Pont d'Iéna pedestrianized, up to the Champ de Mars, which will be reforested. The whole thing will form a large park in the heart of Paris."

🦋 Artist: #MANTRA / #Mantrarea in City: #Paris #Versailles 18, Rue Charles Gounod France 🇨🇵 2020 - Title: "Là où fleurit l’émerveillement” ( "Where wonder flourishes" / "Wo das Wunder blüht") (📷 by StreetartInParis) - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #UrbanArt #Flowers🪻#Freehand

Streetartwall. A fantastic, photorealistic mural with two butterflies in a green landscape has been painted on the exterior wall of a modern six-storey building. A brown and white butterfly and a black and white patterned butterfly fly around on blades of grass with pink and purple flowers. The beautiful mural is designed like a photograph, with the surroundings slightly blurred behind the butterflies.

I'm both angry and excited to read about the French & #Paris #cycling movement.

Angry that the UK is so far behind, with our leaders having so little vision.

Excited that we have #Elections2024 that give us a chance to push our leaders to act on the #ClimateEmergency

Even tho the #GreenParty can't win a majority, talking to all our MP candidates about how important to us the #ClimateAction is, to make them commit when they're on our doorstep / in hustings.

...and ditch #TorySewageParty

🙅🏻‍♀️ Artist: #LEVALET in City: #Paris 18eme, France 🇨🇵 06/2024 - Title: " Le sommeil de la raison" ("The sleep of the sensible" / "Der Schlaf der Vernünftigen") - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Pasteup #Artist #Urbanart #WachenWirAuf #RéveillonsNous
#LetsWakeUp ❗
Note: This pasteup is just one of several murals of this kind with different figures in the same context.

Streetartwall. The life-size, self-painted picture of a sleeping man has been stuck to a yellow house wall. The dark-haired man with a full beard sits huddled on a (real) distribution box and sleeps. He is wearing red trousers, a black sweater and sneakers. He is holding a sign with the French word "non" (English: no) written on it. Behind him is his shadow, who is not sleeping but holding up the protest sign.
Info: Notes by the artist Levalet: "In these troubled times, we can remind ourselves that each of us has the power to say no, to resist, even when the worst seems certain. Let's wake up!"

🙄 Artist: #LesMursOntDesOreilles / #LOreille in City: #Paris 15éme /Square Paul Gilot, Rue de la Convention / France 🇫🇷 07/2024 - Title: "Tourner de l'oeil" ("Rolling eyes" / "Augen verdrehen") - #Art #Streetart #Eyes #Artist #Mural #Pasteup #UrbanArt #Mood #GoodMorning !☕🥐

Streetart. A pretty paste-up of a lady in a rococo dress has been stuck onto a beige-colored park wall. She is wearing a large blonde wig, a blue hair bow and a blue dress with a lavish décolleté. Her cheeks are flushed and she looks up with a strangely twisted gaze. This is also the title: "Rolling eyes". Definitely a pasteup for all occasions.
Info: "L'oreille" is a French street artist who has been pasting up cities with self-designed, cut-out ears with her project "Les murs ont des oreilles" - (The walls have ears) - since around 2018. Recently, the paste-ups have been getting bigger and bigger. Whimsical works of art, full of poetry and humor.

Yesterday I finally found some time and motivation to work on my tavern asset set again... nothing worth sharing yet.

Meanwhile I discovered a very old render of mine. I remember this was like the first scene I had an Idea about what I wanted to express, set it up and was happy with the results. Still remember how I turned this historical map of #paris into a #3D object and used UV mapping for the first time correctly 😁

I find it still holds up today.

My regular running route goes over the Longfellow Bridge into #Boston from Cambridge. And while we have completely fallen in love with #Paris and want to retire there, while Paris is more beautiful than dear, dowdy little Boston in 999 ways out of a thousand, I have to say that the famous Seine is kind of a dinky brown river hemmed in by ugly walls, and the view from the Longfellow is fucking spectacular.

I lived in #Paris in the 90s. A city totally dominated by cars.

Hard to walk in, a nightmare to ride a bike in.

Look at it now: a city where cars, rather than people, have trouble moving.

Which, in the overheated, hurricane-plagued 2020s, is how a city *should* look.

✌🏻 Artist: #VALÉ / (Valérian Lenud) / #ValéStencil in City: #Paris 13e, La Butte aux Cailles, France 🇨🇵 2024 - Title: "Paint Soldier" 🎨 - (📷 by Sylvie Robert) - #Streetart #Art #Mural #StencilArt #Artist #Victory #SprayArt

Streetartwall. The colorful mural of a boy showing a Victory sign was spray-painted on a rough, beige-colored exterior wall. The brown-haired boy wears a red and white bandana as a mask on his face and is depicted behind some colorful, also painted spray cans, which he has strapped on like an ammunition belt. He shows a "V" with his index and middle finger. The stencil-sprayed picture is decorated with many colorful graffiti splashes.
Info: Valérian Lenud, better known as VALÉ, is a contemporary street artist whose wonderful portraits cross the boundaries between traditional painting, drawing and modern street art. His colorful works are inspired by his worldwide travels and foreign cultures.

THIS JUST IN:

Car ban begins in the center of #Paris.

Starting on Monday, Nov. 4, 2024: no through-traffic will be allowed in four central arrondissements on the Right Bank. (Home to the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and the Marais).

This is a big deal.

In observance of the passing of Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), I recommend everyone watch this movie short (less than six minutes) from Paris Je T'aime. Released in 2006, this segment is called "Père-Lachaise." Starring Emily Mortimer and Rufus Sewell, it was written and directed by Wes Craven

🎸 Artist: #HermioneVolt in City: #Paris France 🇨🇵 12/2024 - Title: "Hey! I want loud music!" 🎶💨 - #Art #Streetart #Mural #Artist #Loud #Music #Collage #Mafalda #Sticker #GoodMorning ! ☕🥐

Streetart. A self-made sticker was stuck on a street wall together with a painted stick figure. The sticker shows a little girl with black hair and a bow in her hair. She is wearing a short polka-dot dress and strappy shoes. She is jumping around excitedly and shouting: "Hey! I want loud music!" Next to her is an exhausted-looking painted stick figure with a hat, playing a keyboard and a guitar at the same time. Pretty cool.
Info: "Mafalda" is a comic character created by the Argentinian illustrator Quino (Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón) (1932-2020). "Mafalda" (1964 - ca. 1977) is a 5-8 year old girl from Argentina. She is very, very clever and stands up for world peace, justice, democracy and the women's movement. Incidentally, the female first name Mafalda translates as "the energetic one" and "the strong fighter".

💛 Artist: #EddieColla in City: #Paris 4eme / Rue des Francs Bourgeois/ Rue Pavée/ France 🇨🇵 - Title: "Les Saints Oubliés" Series - "The Forgotten Saints" Series) - (📷 by Tsant75) - #Streetart #Art #Artist #SprayArt #Mural

Streetartwall. A beautiful mural of a young woman was sprayed/painted on a corner of a beige street wall in Paris. The mural is designed with black paint in fine strokes and shows a woman with a black cap on her head, from which individual strands of hair peek out like feathers. Her arms and hands are wrapped in leather straps. Her arms are crossed in front of her chest and her gaze is serious. Above it, in curved white lettering, is written: "Les Saints Oubliés" (in English: The Forgotten Saints), the title of a whole series of murals of this kind.

Je vais donner une #conférence sur mon voyage à vélo de Paris à Athènes le jeudi 13 février à 19h, à #Paris.

Une intervention organisée par l'association "Quelques Femmes du Numérique".

J'ai donc décidé d'aborder le périple avec humour, sous l'angle des (innombrables) outils numériques (18 pour être précise) qui ont parfois facilité, parfois pimenté, dans tous les cas transformé mon voyage !

(Oui, car le téléphone qui tombe en rade au milieu de nulle part, il fallait que ça arrive, et ce n'était pas un voyage sans écran 😅 !)

Conférence gratuite, ouverte à toutes et tous, places limitées.

Je vous y verrai ?

#Jazz #Classical #Music #BlackWomen #CivilRights #WomensRights

I just watched a very interesting bio of #HazelScott on #PBS #AmericanMasters.

Scott was a #Black woman who was a #MusicalProdigy who was enrolled at #Julliard at a very young age, who mastered the classics but who made a living mainly playing jazz & #popular music w/crossovers to classical music.

Hazel was married (for a time) to #AdamClaytonPowell, had the 1st TV show in the 50's staring a #Black performer before #NatKingCole got one, made a few movies on her own terms before being #BlackListed from the #movies & from #TV because she stood up for the herself & the rights of others & who lived for a time in #Paris, like a lot of Black creative people did to escape the discrimination they felt in the #US.

If any of this interests you, I recommend that you watch the episode which you can find in the link below:

This was the moment I fell in love with Paris. What else can you ask for? Beautiful sunset, iconic Eiffel tower in the back drop, being with my love, surrounded by people that are happy and also in love, and the beautiful voice of the performers. Everything is just perfect. If there's ever a perfect moment, I think that was it.
