Howdy!

I’ve been hanging around Ontario street down in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve recently (it must be something in the water…) and I came across this street art. Great idea and concept, some of them could have been executed slightly better. If you want to click on the link that adds no more information try this or peristylenomade.org.

Something about the bright orange stripes caught my eye.

Between the apartment building, the McDonald’s, the Metro and the concrete, it pretty much is.

Just in case you missed it the first time around.

Street Art in Montreal

Howdy!

Back in April I was passing by the Atwater metro, and I saw that someone had been very creative with some garbage bags…

Flatter and from the back

They had made what appeared to be blow-up animals, that were inflated by the exhaust from the metro.

I unfortunately, like with most street art, have no idea who made these.

But congrats, while it isn’t completely an original idea, it was very nicely executed.
