guess it`s kinda been a trademark for Montreal, there has always been some very cool murals all over the city...since I haven`t been back for a few years I had not seen these...thanks for posting em.
One summer, years ago, I got a license to sell my paintings on the streets of Montreal...great fun.

#3 - it took me a minute to place but then it hit me - that's the guy on the Canadian Tire money ! - LOL

The placement of the pylon in #2 makes it look like the bloody mess is gushing out of the top of it.

Cheers !

it's me You're right there are a lot of Great murals all around Montreal. I think these are new.

Darsk47 Yea that's the Canadian Tire guy. t took me a minute to place him when I first saw it.
Your right about the pylon. I thought it was in the way but actually adds something to the shot.

meeko031 I presume yo're coming into Trudeau.
These are located on the Montreal Paper Cutting building 1625 Cabot Street. If you take St Partick East it is the first street after de L'Eglise (Church). Turn right and go straight till you see the building on your left.
You picked a bad week they are calling for rain everyday.
It is about 20 minutes from the Airport.
Let me know if you need any more information.

A couple more

Thanks for the direction, I'll ask the front desk for more info about the area! As far as the weather go, you can't beat mother nature. I guess I'll have to wait for the next trip!(in montreal 2x a month)
