The Night of the Living Gouzous . . .

.

If you read the post just a couple down from this one, you know by now that Gouzous are graffiti art figures which appear in odd places all around the island of la Réunion, produced by an artist signing his work as "Jace". Spotting them is a challenge for any visitor. Here are a few more examples of Gouzous to give you a better idea of their variety and versatility. Gouzous are simply super little creatures . . .

The baby Gouzou at lower left here is barely visible, I almost missed it, although the beer bottle with a baby bottle drinking nipple on it caught my eye driving by right away. This is a take-off of the omni-present Bourbon Beer advertisements which are painted on walls all over the place on Reunion Island, "Bourbon" got transformed into "Biberon", which is French for baby bottle. Bourbon Beer, by the way, is a locally brewed Reunion Island beer, which is excelleng for quenching one's thirst there in the tropical heat . . .

Guess this Gouzou witch cast a spell on us . . .

Some Gouzous are evil, but are dreaming of becoming pure and good . . .

Gouzous are world travellers . . .

Some of the Gouzou scenes left me feeling like I'd just been listening to Bob Dylan's tune Ballad of a Thin Man, where there's the part that goes :

.

"And you say "what does this mean?"

And he screams back, "You're a cow

Give me some milk or else go home"

Because something is happening here

But you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones . . ."

This last one may be about my favorite Gouzou spotted to date, I think he was on his way to a Grateful Dead concert . . .
