As well as the classic, and still-going-strong greats like Nemo and Mesnager and Mosko et associes and Blek le Rat and Miss Tic and so on, there's some interesting newer pochoir Paris street artists to watch out for. Here's a couple of good ones:
Artiste Ouvrier, (real name Pierre-Benoit Dumont--bottom pictures) is one of my favourites of the newer ones, his lush images and narrative richness are just great. He uses a technique known as 'pochoir chinois' (Chinese stencil) which is actually just like a stencil negative, if 'ordinary' stencil is the 'positive'. As well as the beautiful street art, Artiste Ouvrier has created a unique Tarot that you can order from him. His website is at http://www.artiste-ouvrier.com/
Another new favourite is Bonom, a young artist who like Mosko et associes, loves to features animals-huge animals!--including dinosaurs, on the Paris walls he enlivens. He's also jungled things up in Brussels, which is another place where you can see some great street art.
