A friend of mine shot these in Montreal last summer.
Montreal celebrates Street Art with festivals from June – September
Thank you, Norman!

From Montreal – 2016
Graffiti Lux Art & More 
Good to be back, my sweet friend! I missed your lovely place! 🙂 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Beautiful murals!
Montreal is rich in street art!
Love the cartoons
Cartoons are always fun, and quite popular in Street Art!
I love the ducktales/all dogs go to heaven peace, a throw back to obscure 90s cartoons really hits the nostalgia ducts.
I never saw that, but it looks adorable! AND all dogs do go to heaven. So do cats!
All very interesting, Resa; well done to Norman.
The dancing couple image has me curious! It almost looks like a medium of some thickness (not paint) has been used to create this gorgeous image. Do you/Norman know what it is? Or is it paint? 🙂
Signed: Bewildered… 😉 😉
xoxoxo
I wondered about the dancing couple too… it looks almost three-dimensional.
LOL! Yes, it is paint! It fascinated me, too. I thought it was glass at first. There’s all kinds of talent out there. 😀 xoxoxo
Totally agree, Carolee…!!! 🙂
I totally thought of you when first saw this painting. It is paint, and the artist has a knack for 3D painting. I thought it was glass when I first saw it! 😀 😀 xoxoxo
It is stunning; I love it. I haven’t ever seen anything like this before! And yes; totally agree about it looking like paint… Absolutely gorgeous… 🙂
xoxoxo
Looks the The Tassie Devil!
I’ve been called that! LOL!!!
It was the 50th anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival of ’67 in June. The Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Mamas and Papas. One heck of of show, man!
Kind of unrelated, I know, but seeing Mon in the title and all the psychedelia made me trip out.
Good trip out. You can trip out here all you want. I love it! xx
I wish I had been there! I’ve seen the movie, of course, and in the Showtime movie “Hendrix” I got to recreate his wardrobe, the whole band, really. I also got to recreate “The Who” ‘s wardrobe. I still have it all!
What a fab time it must have been! Last concert I went to was “Drake” on tour with “Future” …Rihanna performed, too.
Not the same.
You should do a blog post about that – The Who’s gear. I’d buy that for a dollar etc. They were in their psychedelic stage so looked all fancy, but Pete Townshend started wearing boiler suits after that for some reason.
One of my fave gigs, anyway, just behind Woodstock. Not that I was there (duh), but the clips are great.
I would love to do some kind of post about that. I also have a repro of Hendrix’s Woodstock jacket.
I’d be honored if you would check this tribute out. Maybe the idea can grow from there. https://queensend.wordpress.com/scrapbook/jimi-hendrix-costume-tribute/
How many blogs do you have, madam!?
Looks cool though! Hendrix, Woodstock – slightly iconic, non?
3 blogs and 1 static website for work.
I used to have 1 blog because I wanted to be a writer. Then I made a gown, and it became the hit. Then, I discovered Street Art. I’ve considered amalgamating into 1 blog, but everything seems so different.
I think I might be overly creative. Like an illness or something.
Like someone says to me regularly, you need help! Creativity is your problem.
Yet, I function in the real world… sort of.
Busy, busy! Busy, busy, busy as a bumble bee. Well why don’t you still want to be a writer, eh? Oh I see, the allure of ILLEGAL graffiti and hooliganism took over. I got you.
Overly creative is good. I think I suffer from that. It makes my world tick, though. Without it, I’d simply sit staring at a wall going: “Muh…”.
Perhaps I should post it here on GLaM? I do have some Hendrix Street Art I could start with.
As we say in Manchester: “Go f’rit.” It is a good saying.

Such a great assortment here of street art! Wonderful that your friend sent these to you 🙂 ❤
I’m a lucky ducky when it comes to Street Art! ❤ Your pics will be going up soon. Within a week, I believe as I have started the post. Hope you don't mind, I did bit of cropping for presentation purposes.
A wonderful Sunday to you! 😀 😀
Love the variety of the collection. The first one took me back to the Golden Age of Cartoons. Thought the second set was wonderful (thus my fav). The third set was big and bold – definitely in high-quality street-art in a modern art. The last one made my smile!
PS: I have another Cincinnati mural on the way. You should receive a ping-back very soon.
Happy you liked the assortment, Frank! I love your Rosemary Clooney mural post! It’s totally super. I’ve got several posts lined up and I’m hot on finishing a new Art Gown, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to reblog it here in 2-3 weeks.
Glad you enjoyed the tribute to Rosemary Clooney. I knew you would enjoy the mural’s gown! The reblog is in your hands, so whatever you do (or not) is fine with me. Cheers!
I really like these, Resa. They’re beautifully created. We have a chalk festival coming up too.The art is created on the street. They close the street for 2 days. I think the artists are generous to create their art and then have it washed away with rain and cars driving over them. Wonderfully captured …
Isadora 😎
I love chalk Street Art! If you go, take pics and submit them! I’ll do up a guest post. Then I put one of your pics on my side bar and link it to your blog!!! ⭐
I do hope to go this year. The artwork is always outstanding. Will take a lot of photos. 👍🏻😎
I love the mural of the child with the farm animals. Brilliant !
Hugs with added love for you dear Resa. Ralph xoxoxo ❤
TY, and hugs with added love for you and Natascha! xoxoxo ❤
Great shots. They are all so interesting but the one with the eagle and skeleton …that’s my favorite. 🙂
Cool!
I have a WordPress question for you.
Eddie Two Hawks used one of my pics for one of his posts. I would just reblog, but he doesn’t have a reblog button.
Can I use Press This?
Is that what you use when it’s not a reblog, but you have it on your blog?
Whoop! Remarkable show! I adore the dancing couple and the farm girl.
It’s so wonderful when people send us pictures of street art from other places! The dancing coule is amazing, and the girl with the animals is endearing. 😀
I love the way the girl is seated on the window. Lots of great stuff here, Resa. I loved the collaboration between you and Eddie. He is so soulful. Can’t wait to see the other new things in the alleyway.
The Eddie post is awesome! I think he’s going to use another pic of mine in the future!
The alley was a joyous discovery! The alley cometh, along with a slew of other pics I’ve taken recently. I even went to an Open House for a home on sale so I could get onto the second floor balcony to take shots of a piece that was 3 stories up and across the alley. LOL!
LOL You are a slave to your art. 🙂 And, no doubt, a fun, spontaneous person.
