This unusual sight was captured on Seoul's metro line six. French street artist Thoma Vuille is famous for his graffiti cat known as Monsieur Chat, which sports a mischievous grin. He has been drawing the popular cat image around the world including key spots in Paris such as the Pompidou Center plaza in an effort to promote peace and justice. For his latest project, he was invited by Seoul Metro, Seoul's subway operator, to showcase his drawings inside a train. Seoul Metro says it was the first time in Korea to attempt drawing inside a running subway car. The firm hosted the event so the smiling cat image can be a source of joy to Seoul citizens. The artist completed the subway mural in about an hour. The very first compartment of the subway train running on line six where the picture is drawn is already attracting passengers who come to take photos.
