ERDEURIEN :

The stickers with the little red mushrooms by Erdeurien (R 2 Rien) are absolutely all over the city of Paris, in every street where stickers are meeting...Respect! stickin' is an art! 
I've also seen some graffiti versions longing the railway to Paris north suburbs...

Verse a.k.a Sever is a young cool vandal, a graffiti writer and just like me, he loves elecronic beats and House. He mixes Deep -minimal-groovy-nudisco-House and good sounds that rollin just like a washin mashin' !

Mc SIM :

Mc Sim comes from a family where street art is a natural way to express... He's doing paste-ups and drawings with chalk on walls... He amazed me with a special dedication made in 2 parts... See below different steps of a generous project

REY + MUTT of M.A.V :

Rey & Mutt from M.A.V are the Hype! Young artists working together : they mix illustrations in amazing and complex paste-ups made of skulls, animals and cool characters... Check their "look very nice" blog and follow the adventures of "dressed in Supreme new comers" through photographs and videos with Hip-hop soundtrack (Peace to Twinsmatic!): 

they will be the next stars of Paris street art I'm sure! 

They were one of the first to create a special dedication for Dots and I wish them big success!
