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.

Daily Dose: Plateau Shots

So here are a fe random shots from the other day, caught a nice Labrona paste on my way to my buddy's place to move him and a few other things. The nice weather is back in effect for a little before fall moves on in so you can't go wrong with sidewalk chilling. There are some rooftop spots I've been watching for a little bit, sharpening my knives and gettign ready to flick them proper but it just seems like the timing and conditions are never right. In any case I hope to get them soon and drop another mad rooftop edition at some point. In any case check these fwe flicks for now and more to come soon.

 More soon, lots more soon.

Rosemont May 2010

So I took that trip over to Rosemont metro a couple weeks back and did some trekking around the area and then along the tracks. I had not been to this area in quite sometime, definitely over a year, and it looks like pretty much the same areas are being hit along the tracks at least. saw some pretty nice stuff, some old stuff, and some interesting work by a good number of writers and artists out there.
I got a lot of pan shots of some of the long running walls in the area too and I think some of them came out pretty nice. There's a lot more on the streets that I wasn't able to get but I'll be going back in the near future to catch all of that too. Until then enjoy what I was able to snap with my glass and check back for more from the TA Wall and Factory that I shot last week. And head's up to those who like to frequent that area: it's under construction by the city -more patch work and maintenance of the existing structure of the Ville-Marie Expressway -but its loaded with construction crews and security that'll bust anyone painting the area if they can catch you. And police are cruising about the area more frequently too I think. So be extra aware and pay attention if your in the area.

As always I wasn't able to label everyone in this post, I am limited to 20 a post apparently so I've tagged whoever I could. All in all I have to say that there was some pretty nice and interesting stuff out there. I've got a TA Wall & Factory update to post this week too so keep in touch. And thanks to those who have posted comments, I appreciate your interest and remarks.
Till next.
