On Avenue du Parc, there is a very cool alley with many artists who collaborated on these walls :
The murals are old but still fresh.

It's a shame that I didn't take a whole picture of this alley.

WHO
Tiburon
Tiburon is a street artist from Mexico, he was some years ago in Montreal. There are still a lot of his works on the walls of Montreal and even on a truck...

MonoSourcil
MonoSourcil's character
Born in Montreal, Maxilie Martel-Racicot aka MonoSourcil has a degree in visual arts. Around 2012, she began in Street Art that she found more free and intuitive. She expresses her vision of the individual in modern society through caricature with businessmen, monsters, robots...
The omnipresence of her monosourcil characters becomes iconic in Montreal.

Waxhead & Cryote
Worse than Big Brother, they're everywhere in Montreal 😀... But for the better.
The two artists, Cryote and Waxhead often collaborate if you remembered their work for the Baron's High School (more on Street Art #280). Their colorful universe full of characters is always cool to see.
Flavor & Starkey
Two other artists whose works are often found side by side :
Flavor is street artist based in Montreal known for his colorful wood ice-cream. But you can also find his characters in mural and sticker.
Also based in Montreal, Starkey decorates the streets with his favorite character, a kind of rabbit (if you have a name for this blobby animal, leave it in comment), often in wood but also sometimes on murals or stickers.
WHEN
- Some years ago.

Thanks for the upvote, always appreciated...
There is a lot of cool street art in Montreal. I've seen many of them, but not all and there are new ones every year. I'd have to go on those streets at some point perhaps to take a look at the new ones. I'm always impressed at the level of detail the artists put into them, and how they are huge. I wonder what the artist does if they make a mistake, maybe they paint over it or just go with it.
ep Street Art in Montreal is very active, officially with all these festivals (Mural, Under Pressure, Canettes de Ruelle...) but also thanks to the artists present in the city, there is always something new to see. It's really interesting. I like Montreal for that.
When you see artists working live during festivals, they already have their idea in a notebook with a lot of sketches, then the main lines are traced on the wall ... so I'm not sure there're a lot of improvisation in these cases.
On the other hand, it must be something else when it is unofficial, errors must be part of the game and often errors give better results 😀
I agree, the little flaws that the artist sees but we don't are what make it perfect.
