It's already a while ago we reached out to Monsieur Qui on Myspace, because of his amazing artwork we found in the streets of Paris. So you can guess what's going on already! Today we harvest our Spam! from the always humble and extraordinary artists Monsieur Qui! Monsieur Qui is an artist that shouldn't be slept on. Drawings of woman that are as beautiful as the captures that he makes of them on camera. Multi talented and often spotted on the streets of Paris we offer you Spam! with Monsieur Qui.

A big "SPEO" lettering in 1989, purple, pink, with black outline, (it was my beginning in graffiti) ; but the real first thing i put on a wall was a pure stinky cheese...
