Pencil (crayons-créons) - a photo on Flickriver

Brussels -Molenbeek
Schippersstraat - Rue des Mariniers

Since the end of summer 2010, pencils have been showing up in waves in Brussels. Yves Calomme, specialist in this phenomenon, explains what he has observed over time: “The evolution of the pencil has gone through many stages. In the beginning, they were simple and sharp. Then they gradually started to be drawn around the corners of walls. The artist added legs to them, made them into lady bugs, made them into Indiana Jones. Then they were drawn undressing themselves and even riding a camel…”
The hot question: who is this graffiti artist? Unfortunately nobody knows or wants to know the response. Graffiti is a bit of a sketchy subject, since the authorities are always keeping an eye on these sorts of things.

There is thought to be several artists responsible. Connoisseurs have managed to distinguish different stroke styles in the drawings. Certain ones are more detailed than others. According to Yves Calomme, “There is collaboration between the artists. They communicate with each other. There is an exchange going on concerning this pencil graffiti.”
