below: Missmam, another “La chat fortune” but this time, the lucky cat is getting a bouquet of tulips and balloons from an amorous seahorse by Industrie Tarte. This lippocampe comes ready to divide into sections – filet, plat de cotes, bavette, flanchet – which are all cuts of meat.

artwork on outdoor wall, intricate painting of a moth in browns and blacks, one sign is very realistic, and the other side shows detailed mechanics, cogs and gears and levers and such

below: Sitting above a window, the cat eyes the bird. Together they make a story. The bird with the goggles is the creation of nevoul_art (La petite Fée du Street Art) while the grinning cat was drawn and painted by liAXrt

below: Seahorse by Industrie Tarte – hippocampe nageant sur un mur. It’s been divided into sections – bavette, entrecote, collier, filet, faux filet, similar to the way a cow would be divided into cuts by a butcher.
