A weathered figure on a Paris wall.
Today I take a detour towards the whimsical, in the form of a figure found on a a wall in Le Marais, in Paris. It looks like an anime character to me, but I’m not super familiar with those “folks,” and a quick image search online didn’t come up with an identification for this one.
I saw quite a few of these examples of paper street art glued to walls in Paris and in other places in Europe. Oddly, I never saw a fresh and undamaged example — those that I saw ranged from mildly weathered to nearly gone. For me, part of their charm lies in the weathering away of the material.
