We sometimes think of graffiti taggers as vandals, people on the edge of society, or perhaps outlaw artists like London's Banksy. What I found around the abandoned building we've explored the last few days didn't fit those categories. How many typical taggers have a taste for elegant French desserts, or can spell properly in that language? I'm pretty sure the people in the homeless encampment down the alley are not eating a lot of souffles. Why, there's probably not a bottle of Grand Marnier among them.
This has the look of the Articans to me. But why would one of them write the word souffle on a steel support beam in the first place? You know, why not mousse au chocolat or deep fried Snickers bar?

Deep fried Snickers? Oh I'm feeling sick all of a sudden.
It is strange.
trois photos qui semblent bien représenter cet endroit, j'aime bien la deuxième photo avec le pneu
My personal preference would be a crepe with nutella and bananas, but that's probably too long for that pillar... Nice photos, Bob.
Maybe they cook their eggs instead of throwing them at someone.
Might I point out that they left off the accent aigu? I"m trying to get brownie points with my French teacher! :)
I hate graffiti but it's too early for a full blown rant.

Very interesting photos. What a creative placeArtica is!
I miss seeing GOOD graffiti art. There aren't a lot of graffiti here in Bangor, ME and the few I've seen were simply attempts at deface public property.
