Sandrine Estrade Boulet uses multiple different techniques to bring her wonderful art to the streets of Paris and a number of other locations.

Boulet sees wonderfully quirky things in the most mundane of objects.

Sometimes, Boulet uses chalk to create her images.

Such as this face seen in the concrete cracks.

Other times, Boulet will create images digitally.

It's tough to draw on the ocean, so this makes perfect sense.

Boulet is also known to create cutouts and apply those to everyday structures.

There's an interesting self-awareness to her work–Boulet clearly doesn't take herself deathly seriously, and that's refreshing for an artist.

Boulet will also occasionally combine techniques to create really fascinating stuff.

It's almost cartoonish in a way–and her process of combination is very intriguing. She's certainly got her own style, and I find it to be awesome.

What's most interesting, perhaps, is that none of her art is necessarily meant to be permanent.

So, unlike graffiti artists, Boulet does not deface or vandalize existing structures.

She can turn the most unexpected things into fun images, such as this, which I kind of hope isn't puke.

Her work is either completed by digitally altering a photograph, as mentioned earlier...

Boulet's work knows no bounds, which is a must for an artist. Boulet tackles street signs, cracks in the sidewalk, the ocean, and even garbage.

And she manages to make garbage look lovable.

...or it is completed with easily-removed paper cutouts.

So everybody's happy–from artists to building owners.

The street art is a fun reminder to look for the quirkiness in your surroundings.

And it is unabashedly silly at times. Boulet is not afraid to be herself, and that is perhaps the greatest quality of all.
