PARIS (AP) Paris is getting a colorful splash of Olympic creative spirit with nearly 30 vibrant street art pieces that have popped up on bustling metro station walls, a large billboard at the airport and in front of city hall.

One shows a drawing of French fencer Ysaora Thibus in action. Another has canoers paddling down the Seine River. Some others include people enjoying themselves in a busy district. The original art was spread throughout Paris and other nearby host cities around the Olympic and Paralympic sites.

During this time of the Olympics, its a lot of energy and people coming from all over the world, said New York native JonOne, who has lived in Paris for the past three decades and is viewed in the street art world as a graffiti pioneer.

Hes one of six renowned street artists from four continents whose work is currently on display at train stations, airports, taxis, digital screens and billboards.
