Some quality murals you have in Quebec City. We have an assortment of artwork in Saskatoon (I should get some pics), but I am still quite envious.

here is some of the street art (not just graffiti) i've found around montreal.































(this is arcade street, from which the arcade fire takes its name.)


















and, just to wrap things up, some images of roadsworth's work, which flourished in 2004 but has mostly disappeared (he is now doing commissioned work for the city and various other organizations):

The work of L'Atelier national du Manitoba.

Nobody really knows too much about this underground artistic group; Except that their posters magically appear over night, usually on top of empty buildings

Winnipeg: Murder Capital
with portrait of former Winnipeg mayor Bill Norrie (1979 - 1992)


Burton Cummings


The Mayor of Main Street: Nick Hill
(a well known Winnipeg furniture salesman made famous by his cheezy commercials)

^^^ OMG I remember the Royal Albert! I think that was the place we used to sit and watch shakers dance, and drink draught beer! LOL!
