Saturday morning was a fine time to visit several million dead people in the catacombs below the streets of Paris.
This left the afternoon for some living people at ARTOYZ Paris.
Michael and Yann-Claude are great, they even hooked me up with a Kid Onion figure and hoodie. Look for Kid Onion along with their new Elements minis to be hitting US based retailers soon, they are all really nicely done. If you can’t wait, you can always get them direct from France!
More pics and things after the break, but first some important facts I have learned about Paris:
- Every Parisian is required to walk around holding a baguette at least once per day. This is not a stereotype, it is the law.
- Every Parisian has an adorable small dog and an equally adorable small car. Fashion ordinances require that they match (or one of the two will be burned).
- Paris pigeons poop 10 times their body weight daily.
- The Paris Metro is far better than the NYC subway system, except for that pesky “not running late at night” thing.

Day 2 in Paris. Stomach flu setting in made enjoying anything much harder. Lots of moaning and groaning and making funny faces, but I was still able to make it to the opening of EXIT and have a good time.
I took over the restaurant area of the exhibit which is right on the main floor with huge windows out to the plaza. It’s a great space.
The walls were huge and flowed well into one another across the space. All the bright colors reflected on surfaces of tables, floors and ceilings adding to the fun.
A slide show of work played in the lobby area.
The walls can be seen on the left, with the main exhibit doors on the right.

I sat down to draw some creatures and my cat wouldn’t be quiet so I ended up drawing another ugly cat. That shut him up.
