Montreal Street Art: Spring 2015

Knowing how hard it is to paint small pictures, I'm in awe of artists who create large murals on the sides of city buildings.

I managed to photograph some on my last visit to downtown Montreal.

Who paints these? I wonder... 

Are they all done by local artists?














There are different styles - sometimes, even on the same building!

Some look like graffiti - and they may be!

Others are more realistic.

Some are a real mish-mash! (I wonder what the message is here!)

Are impulsive last-minute changes possible, given the large scale of the pictures?

Do artists work on these alone, or in a team?
 

How long do they take to make?!

Do neighbors ever complain?!

(So many questions I'd like to ask a mural artist... if I ever met one!)
