Underdog

Whilst taking the Seattle Underground Tour, we emerged briefly into an alley to find this neat example of eight-bit art. This was snapped back in February.

Port du casque obligatoire

Spotted this wonderful piece of street art not far from the Centre Pompidou when I was in Paris a year ago. The title of this post refers to the sign on the door.

Artistic resistance

The underside of the LRT bridge over the Bow River in Calgary is a revolving canvas for graffiti and public art — drawn, cleaned off and replace by new art. Here’s an entry from this spring.

Amoureux

The “I Heart Cheese” meme pops up all over the place in Montreal street art. The image above was captured this April, while the one below was taken in March 2009.

I love cheese!
