    Héhé, le monde est petit!!! Je lisais justement à propos du fait que t'avais eu une galerie d'art, hier dans le dernier post par Julia. Je pense que tu m'en avais aussi glissé un mot (à propos que ton proprio faisait visiter la place sans te le dire) lorsqu'on s'est vu, mais je ne savais pas les détails à l'effet qu'il s'agissait de 2 et pendant 10 ans.

    J'aime ce qu'il fait, j'ai vu ses peintures sur son site web!

    Là, ça m'a également fait réalisé que j'avais photographié une autre de ses murales:

      Now when I do a #photography post on Steemit I also upload the pic(s) on Flickr. That's where I took a screenshot of the photo's details.
