Picture of the Day: Geneva

Geneva, Switzerland -- November, 2011
 As I may have mentioned before, Rasmus really likes documentaries. However, I don't much like watching depressing things, especially when they are true, so he generally invites me to watch only the lighter ones now, and occasionally even seeks out such documentaries just for me.

One of these was Exit through the Gift Shop. It was supposed to be a documentary about Banksy -- the mysterious British street artist, but actually ended up being about the rather crazy guy who was doing all of the filming.

Anyway, in the film, you meet several other street artists, including the Monsieur A, or Andre, who is known for his stick figure smiley face with an x for one of the eyes (and usually a top hat). And we were very excited to see one of his 'masterpieces' on a wall in Geneva!
