Dear Montreal -
I love you.

Street Art of the Day: It took 16 long days and over 500 cans of spray paint, but the Montreal-based artist-run collective A’Shop finally completed its massive Art Nouveau-inspired mural of “a modern-day Our Lady of Grace.”
“Our city has way too much gray,” said Fluke, one of the five artists who worked on this project. “So I hope this [mural] kickstarts a mural campaign.”
Watch the mural go from soup to nuts below:

This made me smile - I almost prefer little bits of graffiti you have to look for than the ones that scream out at passers-by and demand their attention.

I love this idea. Anonymous venting can be surprisingly cathartic.
Even though it’s been gone for a long time, I loved Saskatoon’s “Beef” Fence. It was located right off of Broadway on 7th Avenue and was a great place to vent anonymously.
For the next week, I’ll be featuring pictures from the Beef Fence. Merry Christmas everyone. ♥
All of the pictures of the fence can be found here.

Thanks, guise!

Graffiti alley is a series of alley running parallel to Queen Street West, from Spadina to past Bathurst.
And salvio-hexia … and blaaargh … for all providing the knowledge I so desperately craved.
I kind of want to spend a weekend wandering around documenting the graffiti in Toronto. I’m sure it’s been done, but it sounds like a pretty enjoyable way to see the city, and even if the places remain the same the art is always changing. Well … not always. I know Tricycle Kid and some of his compatriots have been up for at least a year, but I’m glad those have stuck around.

wetwork is one of my favorite tumblrs. It’s a really great chronicle of the ever-changing graffiti on Ottawa’s three best known legal walls, plus a few not-so-legal locales thrown in for variety. I don’t reblog it enough, and you should follow it immediately.
