~ This Is A Stick Up ~

By all accounts the Paris street artist is a pretty discrete dude. Which is why i was quite surprised to come across these two in one of the city's main tourist areas on a Sunday afternoon.
They were decorating one of Montmartre's favourite fleeting graffiti passages with a quizzical-looking stick-on paper guy, along with his question mark thought processes.
Graffiti isn't really the word for it, as it's not simple name spraying, or 'tagging, as it's called here. Whether this figure qualifies as art and genuinely makes people think, or dare i say 'question', is anybody's guess.
What is unusual is that they are putting it up in broad daylight under the noses of about 50 tourists and other passersby, some of whom even started snapping them in the act (see above). Now if that isn't indiscreet, i don't know what is.
