Rue de Charenton With JeanJerome

Last week I got together with my old accomplice JeanJerome to do a new collaboration on Rue de Charenton near Opéra Bastille in the 12th arrondissement. Generally we have a very loose idea of what these will be and generally we are both a bit late to meet at the wall.

These types of days are my favorite. There is something pure about them. A couple of friends hang out and make something together, with no pressure, no expectations and the innocent happiness that comes from creating. Generally a few friends stop by, we have a few beers and catch up. Much of my art is made alone in a studio, or on the streets late at night, neither scenario are particularly social.

At some point during these collaborations, JeanJerome usually takes a picture of my ass with my underwear handing out of the back of my pants and immediately posts it on instagram. I’d tell him to stop, but he seems to derived so much joy from it.

Also, as a side note… If you go by the wall, just next to the mural is a Pizza vending machine at 35 Rue de Charenton. I know what you’re thinking, “that sounds awful!” but you’d be wrong. It’s run by Pizza Julia and you can get a damn good pizza 24/7 out of a machine that resembles an ATM. Check it out.
