Tags and pieces can be beautiful but it is usually something that appears to be a well thought out concept or a social issue that usually grabs our attention in a way that makes us say, yea, now that is the kind of public art I want to see.

The thrid picture is smashing. In particular I like the picture of the picture itself painted into itself.
This is graffiti taken to another level and sure beats looking at the personality-less cement walls built by planners, architects and politicians such as we see (sic) all along the “Autoroute des souvenirs (the 20).
One day this sort of art will be integrated into urban spaces in a very cohesive manner. I can only hope the artists will benefit.
I’d like to see more of this sort of graffiti - somehow I feel it is a contribution to society. And, hey!, stop all that name scrawlling, you’re nobody anyhow, like dogs and cats marking their territory. If you’re going to mark something do it with class, make a statement. Stop wasting canvas space.

Hi,

The band-aid graffiti is everywhere in montreal too. Is this a gang tag or something?

Permission to hotlink requested, sir? I can’t upload images to the TeenyManolo site because of the Flash uploader, and I can’t add images to my own WP right now either. I promise to move it over to our account ASAP.

It just isn’t possible for me to love Banksy any more than I do right now. The Bethlehem project was amazing. Did you see on Gawker the fellow in NYC who painted over a Banksy mural? It was graffitied in hours.

That is almost too powerful to bear. Amazing, shocking, appalling, moving, and completely, searingly human. It’s so much more comfortable to dehumanize the mentally ill.

There might be a bit of a scattering, newironshapes. Of course nothing would work better in this city than some inter-borough exchange of community ideas.

so have the turcot activists talked to the autoroute ville marie activists? maybe they could team up to present their demands to the MTQ
