Ubu.

Je ne sais pas si c’est un effet de mon imagination ou si il en est de même pour vous, mais il me semble apercevoir ce mec sur tous les murs décrépits de France et d’ailleurs. A tel point que j’ai fini par lui donner un nom : UBU (Urban Boy, Universal :) - nom qui lui va à ravir compte tenu de son don d’ubiquité.
Sur tous les murs donc Ubu me sourit. Un sourire sympathique qui s’accorde avec un regard avenant, sans malice apparente. Il semble parfait Ubu : moderne, connecté, élégant avec son noeud papillon bleu...Mais, en fait : est-il vraiment mon ami ?


I do not know if it is an effect of my imagination or if you share the same experience, but it seems to me to see this guy on all the decrepit walls of the Western world. To such a point that I eventually gave him a name: UBU (Urban Boy, Universal :) - A perfect name considering its tendency to be ubiquitous.
So, on all the walls Ubu smiles to me. A nice smile matching with a pleasant look without detectable mischieft . He seems perfect Ubu: modern, connected, elegant with his blue bow tie... But, I wonder : is he really my friend?

Yes, he does look like Urkel. I wonder if the artist did that on purpose....

I think you should consider him a friend until you know he is not a friend, but caveat emptor. I like the stuff around the mural too. V

A great piece of street art that looks like Steve Urkel from "Family Matters." I think Ubu is a great name for him. V.

It is a thoughtful question about is he really my friend? I hope so but every walk through life has a different experience/background. He may be a good person but not relate to you.

Nice capture....these wall artist always amaze me......V

perhaps not a close friend, yet certainly a sympathetic character...he does indeed reflect contemporary connectivity, and the diversity of France too....superb capture..

A pleasant enough expression for sure. As to whether he is your friend- I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him (building and all). Cool capture- love the vibrant colors.
