The Cockatoo and the Octopus

I found this one near Cihangir while going down to Tophane by the back alleys (Findikli Yokusu).
This stencil represents a cockatoo and an octopus with the writing "Même Pas Mal" just below. It's French for "Didn't Even hurt". It's signed by O&C. Is the artist(s) French or going to the French school or just French speaking ? I don't know. This is the second stencil I find with French text.
Above this stencil you can see another stencil of Bruce Lee that I published a while ago.

No Happy Love

I particularly like this one because the one(s) who did it took the time to do a great job. This is a pretty big stencil (about 1m x 1m) and you don't find it every 10 feet around the neighborhood. This one was found in Akarsu sokak near the Indigo bar in the Taksim area. There were some other nice stencils in this street I will share later on.
The French writing underneath the girl's face reads :"there is no happy love" (Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux).
