Parisienne Trucks

Graffiti is like jungle fungi. From the dank and musty nooks it creeps and sprouts overnight. Odd awkward shapes with glaring bright colours in the daylight. Just downhill from the porno shops and strip joints that surround the Moulin Rouge, but on the very same street, is an industrial area. A strip of industry, living cheek by jowl, that never sleeps. The News Paper Delivery guys are knocking off when the Butchers are clocking on, the Picker Packers are loading their first boxes when the Removlist blokes are getting back for lunch. Out the front of every business is a truck, a couple of plastic seats, and one or two sour blokes getting the most out of their cigarette. Everyone of these trucks is painted from top to bottom. And it's awesome. I have like 50 photos of these trucks from Avenue de Clichy, it was hard to choose but these are the pick of the bunch.

I saw them everywhere in the 11 district too - amazing. Really want to know more about the movement behind it? Is there anything out there you've read? http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=363232&id=579220252&saved#/photo.php?pid=10398925&id=579220252

To tell you the truth I never looked into it. When I was traveling europe i bought a camera to teach myself the basic mechanics of photography (which never really happened) But I took over three thousand photo's, just over a thousand graff snaps (the belgian trains are awesome, they never buff them). The Paris trucks have always stuck in my mind though. There are definitely some guys that dominate the truck scene in paris. If you are interested I might put together a forum with these. OR if there is a way to add to the amount of images in a user feed I can turn this quick over view into a gallery.

Not the sort of support I had in mind Dr. Freeakus. We should try again like no one heard the first comments. I was serious about the lighting incense thing.

Paris is beyond doubt the town with the most tags I have ever seen. Some good- A LOT of bad. Zero respect.
