Masked Man of Marseilles : Graffiti France Street Art



I found this beauty just off Avenue Jean Lombard in Marseilles, France.

It's such a killer bit of street art showing what can be done with graffiti that I decided to use it for my title page also!

The piece is fairly old already, it's dated '05, and there were a few other great graphs around the corner from it, but the powers that be, have obviously got a bit wise since then 'cos there is a big slobbering doberman protecting the site now!

Marseilles has got a wide range of styles of graffiti, most of it visual pollution tagging (omer you know who you are ;) but there are some really vibrant marks that take graffiti into art and make the cityscape a better place to see.




Seeing as how this blog starts off in Marseilles, France, here is a little bit of homage to the local football team Olympique Marseilles.

Alles L'OM or Go Olympique Marseilles.

The day that I shot this photo they kicked their big rivals Paris in the derby so plenty fun that night in Marseilles!
