Meet M. Récup* artist, philosopher

I dump art on city streets. You find it. That's the deal.

If you want to share your story after stumbling across one of my pieces, go ahead. I might even read it.

(Side note: Never let a chatbot write your copy. It comes out sounding like a greeting card had relations with a corporate memo. If you can write better than the machine—and you probably can—do it yourself. Same goes for self-driving cars. If you're a better driver than the car, keep your hands on the wheel.)

What they're saying ...

"A cosmic force led me to (the drop site) this chilly day. An elevator suddenly appeared, containing a inconspicuous yet intriguing brown bag. The world tilted on its axis as I took hold of the bag. (on finding 'The Bridge,' Jan. 20, 2026)."

"Marshmallows are for team players. They don't just hand them out."

Mr. M. Récup

"I work at Starbucks in the building. I was leaving out to go to the grocery store next door when I saw the painting. I caught my eye because of the colors. Then I read the postcard and decided to give it to my co-worker who loves art and fall photos (on claiming 'Yellow Wood,' Jan. 14, 2026)."

"M. Récup is a stone cold loser."
