Daily Dose: Cope2 & Indie in town, TA, Stinky's, strung up teddy bears, and everything else in between

This daily dose thing is not as easy as it may appear. Especially when I walk 10K and flick a tonne of updates. But I'm trying to keep up as much as possible. So please bear with me. Odd side note right off the bat: I got this weird side photo thing with abandoned teddy bears and dolls. Yeah, weird, I know. But I find them wherever I go and they seemingly move around after people do stuff to them. Anyway, I've got as bunch of shots locked away somewhere and I'll eventually do a special post. Here's the recent addition to the teddy bear Golgotha that I've collected from the TA Factory. Someone strung them up too. Poor bastards. Here's a bunch of shots from the past week, and a couple from the last month or so.

I didn't do much trekking about this weekend but I was out a bit last week to follow up on a little gossip going around the town and to get that last end of the summer feel from the streets. Although Can You Rock was canceled, it looks like Senk, Sniper, Scien, Klor, along with Cope2 & Indie (who were in town) decided to grace the walls off of Cabot Street with a nice production to pay hommage to the spot. Solid production too, deep colors and the always fine lettering by some of Montreal's finest and company.

To be honest though, I didn't pass through looking for that wall, although is was really nice to have come across it. It was a precisely executed production and a nice collab. I was there to document some cross outs by Cope2 on a couple of local names. Whatever the issue, he felt it necessary to not just cross them out, but to make a  post of it on his blog on 12 Oz Prophet. You can check it here. He says that he's rocking on some Montreal toys. Interesting to say the least, and predictably the start to another beef that will escalate in the coming future. Whatever the beef, whatever the history, I hope  these gents work it out and no real bullshit comes out of it. But hey, I just document. So here's my shots of the cross out at the spot from last year.

I also got the chance to stop through the TA Wall and Factory area, and good ol' Stinky's. Noticed soime tunneling and rope ladders at the scene, heard soem activity inside, but didn't have the time to get all down and dirty. Soon. Really liked the collab by Five8, Dyer, and Quiz at the TA Wall too, positive creations going on there. I'll have more from St. Henri and TA soon too.

 

More Soon. Stay posted.

Daily Dose: In & Around the last bit

Apologies for the break in the daily dose, life is busy. I didn't get around on the streets that much this past weekend. But here are a few pics, some recent, some not, from all over the place. I found a few previously hidden to me locations in some unlikely areas, maybe not the most vibrant of spots but some pretty interesting shots. Also a few I have to go back and revisit. I like to get great shots of rooftops and hard to get to spots but not at the risk of being ticketed, getting myself in a jam, or baiting the spot. I got a few posts this week to drop that I know you're all going to like, a couple of which are from the vault. Enjoy these for now and more soon.

Stay posted.

Can You Rock?: Finished Walls

I finally got my camera back from Canon! I felt like I was missing a limb for the last while. Shout out to my boy Thom again for passing me his spare in the mean time so I could get some flicks. I'll be posting a tonne soon now that I'm done writing my thesis and can put some solid time on other things.

So I stopped by the Cabot Street spot a couple of weeks back to get all the walls. I really, really tried to make some solid pan shots of the walls end to end but for some reason or another the pics a re just slightly off making that impossible. I'll tinker with resizing them and stuff down the road and if they work out I'll post them then.

In my opinion, K6A killed it with their mad doctor and pills production. The finest crew prod that went up that day that stuck to its theme and turned out some solid pieces. I really enjoyed the WWF throwback done by Crazy Apes too. Others had some nice colabs going on too like Otek & Ensu, and a few writers from TFO - JKR - 156, KP10s, Astro, Scien, and lady Klor. MSK had a solid bottom running prod of pieces -no particular theme but the colors, style, and lettering was awesome. Finally OMB put together a nifty monsters prod in the back area too. All in all the event was a success and the quality of work was for the most part excellent. Can't wait to see what they got in store for next year.

Got some stuff from MSK still to post and tonnes of stuff from the streets, TA, CBR, Turcot and more.
