Butch (1974-)
French Graffiti Artist and Tagger

It’s fascinating how Butch Cassidy, the notorious outlaw of the late 19th century, has inspired a modern graffiti artist and tagger in Paris. This contemporary “Butch” has channeled his passion into the street art scene, building a community of like-minded individuals around him. Remarkably, like his infamous namesake, Butch has managed to avoid prosecution for his graffiti activities, despite the legal risks. However, it’s important to acknowledge that graffiti and vandalism are illegal activities that can negatively impact communities and property owners. That said, Butch’s dedication to his art and belief in Hip-Hop culture as a way of life is admirable. He seems to have found a sense of purpose and fulfillment through his creative expression, and hopefully, he can continue to do so in ways that respect others and their property.
