Downtown Montreal Murals October 2021
Most of these murals are from Murale Festivals years past. Some of the murals go back 10 years while others are only a year old. These pictures are from October 2021.
Make Noize Slap
If you walk around Montreal you will probably see a Slap by MakeNoize at some point in your travels. I’ve spotted a few of them in Toronto but Montreal has a lot of yellow smile slaps !

Maxilie Martel Mural
Local artist Maxilie Martel also has a lot of murals all over downtown Montreal – this one overlooks a park.
“Near the end of her studies, Maxilie found interest in the world of street art and graffiti that she finds more free and intuitive. She will get into it for four years before undertaking a master’s degree in sculpture in 2016 at Concordia University.”

Jason Cantoro Mural
“The World Within” by Jason Cantoro was done back in 2018. This is his largest mural and he seems to be mostly a canvas artist.

Loup XIV Graffiti Mural
Found that and noticed that it is signed Loup XIV but I am not sure if that is the artist. Its fun to find little murals like this all over the city. It looks like it has been there awhile.
Drew Merritt Mural
Krotchy by @drewmerritt – 2018
From Drew’s Website :
“i don’t want to talk about it.”
To be honest I did not know who ‘Krotchy’ was or is.. so I had to Google her.
She is Sarah McDaniel who “is an American model.[2][3][4] She appeared in the music video for Mark Ronson and Kevin Parker’s songs “Summer Breaking” and “Daffodils”,[5] and was the cover girl for Playboy magazine’s first non-nude issue in March 2016.[6]”

She is famous for her eyes which are different colors.
Mateo Mural
Across from the Drew Merritt mural is this one by Mateo. The mural was apart of the 2016 Murale Festival.

I noticed a lot of people taking selfie pictures in front of this mural. It makes for a nice background. The textures are beautiful.
