For the CCC's Street Art Contest #243 organized by @digi-me, I propose a new tribute to Scan aka Alexandre Veilleux, see my last post StreetArt #776 for more information on this incredible artist. The story behind this mural is truly atypical, as you'll read in the rest of this post.
Pour le CCC's Street Art Contest #243 organisé par @digi-me, je vous propose un nouvel hommage à Scan aka Alexandre Veilleux, voir mon dernier post StreetArt #776 pour plus d'information sur cet incroyable artiste. L'histoire de cette murale est vraiment atypique comme vous allez le voir dans la suite de ce post.

On boulevard Saint Laurent in Montreal. The mural is just off Graffiti Alley, where in 2023 the artists created another tribute to Scan, see StreetArt #617.

For the 2024 edition of the Mural Festival, a first tribute was done to Scan with this wall covered with the "signatures" of 54 Montreal artists (see photo below 🔽 or StreetArt #704 for more pics and info). But this wall belongs to a bank whose manager didn't really appreciate the work. But I liked it...
Pour l'édition 2024 du Mural Festival, un premier hommage avait été fait à Scan avec ce mur couvert avec les signatures de 54 artistes de Montréal (voir la photo ci dessous 🔽 ou alors StreetArt #704). Mais ce mur est à une banque dont le directeur n'a pas trop apprécié l'oeuvre. J'aimais bien...
So 5 months later, Mural Festival, under pressure, had to redo the mural. Fewer artists were involved, but friends from Scan produced a new version : Jher, Serak, Axe, Dodo Osé, Ekual and Rathbone. Who says the bank always wins? 😅
Alors 5 mois plus tard, Mural Festival, sous la pression, a du refaire la murale. Moins d'artistes impliqués mais les amis de Scan ont réalisé cette nouvelle version. Il s'agit de Jher, Serak, Axe, Dodo Osé, Ekual et Rathbone. Qui a dit que la Banque gagne toujours ? 😅
I don't know about you, but I preferred the old version with all the signatures and Mr Can Do It, as it better showed the huge respect this artist still enjoys in Montreal 8 years after his death.
What's your favorite version? On the new one, I really like the squirrel holding his watch.
Je ne sais pas vous, mais je préférais l'ancienne version avec toutes les signatures et Mr Can Do It, cela montrait mieux le respect dont jouit cet artiste encore à Montréal 8 ans après sa mort.
Et vous quelle est votre version préférée ? Sur la nouvelle, j'aime beaucoup l'écureuil tenant sa montre.
And I'll end with the reality of Graffiti Alley, it's not all murals and lettering. There's also a fair amount of tagging. That way, if you're in the area, you know what to expect 😀.
Et je termine avec la réalité de la Graffiti Alley, il n'y a pas que des murales ou des lettrages. Il y a aussi pas mal de tags. Comme cela, si vous êtes dans le coin, vous savez à quoi vous attendre 😀.

Always great to add a new Mural on the WorldMapPin Map. Now a lot of Montreal StreetArt is shown, so good 😀
Thanks for this feature 👍
I like the older version better too.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great new week!
!HUG
You agree with me, maybe that's why we're not bank managers 😀
Have a wonderful week too
Haha that’s it… 😋🤣
Thank you, enjoy yours.
I finished the dining room today and put everything back into it. Making progress luckily…
Hey, how cool is this mural. The more colorful they are the more I love them, and it's that color in street art makes me escape from reality. Maybe later you share the photo of the squirrel alone, and I realized that even though the grays stand out it's perfect hahaha, I think it's my favorite photo. Excellent participation, it's always nice to agree with your posts ✌️
Yes, StreetArt can add color to the monotony of a city's concrete walls. It's true that this mural is very colorful, and this neighborhood isn't lacking in color thanks to the Mural Festival.
Have a great week
Cool little squirrel 😂 I think I like the old tribute better too. But the new work is good and very ambitious.
I also preferred the old version... but in a completely different style, this one's not bad either.
Have a great week
