Mural Fest Montreal 2013

 
Finally got some time to put out these flicks from the Mural Fest that took place in the plateau back just over a week ago. It covered a good amount of space from Sherbrooke Street up St Laurent till Mont Royal, or thereabouts. The murals were on the side streets at intervals along the way with street meat, clothing, and other vendors selling their wares to the endless throng of people passing through. Twenty murals were done by a really talented group of artists from all over -Escif from Spain, Roa from Belgium, Pixel Pancho from Italy, Reka One from Australia, Phlegm from England, Ricardo Cavolo from Madrid, LNY & Christina Angelina from the United States, and Omen, Patrick Botkin with En Masse, Chris Dyer, Wzrds Gng, Peria Crew, Other, Le Bonnard, Labrona, A'Shop Crew from Montreal, Toronto, and other parts of Canada. It was a pretty international event actually. Being that it was a pretty large area to cover I didn't actually get a cahnce to flcik every mural while I was there, and I was covering the A'Shop wall a little more than the rest of it. I still managed to flick a bunch of shots of the spots from Sherbrooke till about Rachel. Apologies to those who I missed out there or didn't get to chill for a minute. Here's some of what I got from the couple of days I was out there.



Big ups to A'Shop for the three day block party and a good time, Scan for the lift on Thursday to snap some cool perspective shots, and everyone else involved in the event. I'll have more of the finished pieces when I get a chance to stop through the plateau in the enar future. Or you can just go and check them out yourself. some of them are pretty grandiose. I heard that the Phlegm piece was crossd out already which kinda sucks since he was a guest at an event, but that spot gets bombed pretty much on the regular. Hopefully most of the murals get some deserved shelf life and the event gets put in again in the future. In any case, stay posted, more from my Berlin trip and Montreal streets soon.

Rooftop Edition: Vol 2

I got the chance to flick a few more rooftops at the beginning of the month. I wanted to lock down a couple of spots along St Caths, particularly above Sex Cite and Super Sex. I was able to get up above Super Sex, but the rooftop above Sex Cite required a little more foot work and the shitty boots, wind, and ice didn't make for the best combination for a rooftop escapade. In any case I think I got me some pretty solid shots of the area. The last time I went up was easily a few years ago so it was nice to get re-aquainted with that upper part of the city.


Again, these are shots only from a few select locations in and around St Caths and St Laurent. I know there are plenty of spots out there, and believe me, I'll get to them in time. And when I do I will most definitely be posting them up here. I tossed in a couple from TA too, for the RIPs to Mitch and Dylan. And some of these aren't really rooftops, but they are close enough, high up at the top of stairwells and such. Regardless, if it's high up there, it's gonna get represented.


Lots of nice stuff up there too, some of it going back easily a few years. There were some shots I wasn't able to fit into the last rooftop post so I threw them into the mix here  which is why some of these shots look from a few months back. These are some great spots with cool views of the city and streets too. Here are the rest of my most recent rooftop shots.


I got some juicy stuff from the streets and some goodies from the vault to let out so stay posted. I also attended the Monk-e exhibit at Sino Shop on Friday night so I'll be posting on that shortly.
