My friend Marcus' art studio (below is a photo of Marcus in the studio). Marcus is an American artist from Arkansas who has been living and working as an artist in Paris for 11 years now. Every Sunday he does an open house and anyone can stop by his studio and talk to him, have a cup of coffee or tea, and check out any and all of his works (and buy some). More on the weekly open house here:

He lives in the 11th, on Rue St. Maur. It's a gentrifying, trendy neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants, though Marcus' end of the hood is pretty much a working-class Arab and Asian neighborhood, which is kind of fascinating as you'll think you're in a non-French foreign country.
You can see more of Marcus' works here, on his Web site. And, for you New Yorkers, he's going to be participating in a show there from September 6 to 29. I think only a few of his pieces will be in the show, but he'll be there as well, at least the first few days (and I suspect at the opening, which is Sept 6). More on that here:
