Upside Down Town

From the artist IG:

Once we got running the work on the ground was completed in 6 weeks. For the most part there was no concrete plan for how the all of the significant LGBQT+ landmarks - from both Paris and beyond - would be drawn on to what I think was a total of 300m2 floors, walls, ceiling. I was led by the pencil and supported by the hands of many. We painted day and night, fought off a heatwave, made friends with the locals and had a steady stream of people helping us with bringing it to life!

I still carry the rainbow pencil which marked the outline to the whole mural in my pencil case to this day, and continue to receive almost weekly updates from people who walk by the mural and post pics! Keep 'em coming; wonderful to see how it's cementing itself into Rue du Temple in a spot where, when we started work, there were no galleries nearby! (today it's practically an art district in itself!)

Merci beaucoup once again to the many helping hands and all the support both on and off site for this one!
