It is difficult to appreciate this mural along Boulevard de Maisonneuve Ouest in Montreal from up close, at street level. I didn’t get to take in its full scope until I saw it last November from one of the upper-floor lounge areas at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Extra love for Mom, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Someone’s added a tasteful and loving tattoo to the character in this mural, which is painted on the shutter of a shop in Calgary’s Chinatown. The “tattoo” is technically graffiti … but I’m having a hard time calling it that!
