Pendant ce temps …

Some comic-book-style art found on the back of a building on Rue Saint-Hubert in Montreal last winter.

A very meta element of a larger mural in Montreal, spotted back in the winter.

Dragons asiatiques

Another example of the vast quantity and diversity of mural art found in Montreal these days. This photo was snapped back in January 2020 … which feels like a lifetime ago.
