Doors


Ever since Graffiti went from the trains to the streets, doors have become a popular surface for writers in the city. For the most part doors offer a smooth surface conducive to markers and paint and are areas of high traffic offering the writer guaranteed visibility. Many doors attract tags from passing writers and end up swathed in marker, shoe polish, paint, and inks. Back alleys or street fronts, in Montreal you'll always find some bombed out doors. Here are some local doors that I have found over the last few years.

Piecing with DC5 in Chicago

I got to paint with Exhaust, Beond, Like and Jash a couple days before the battle in Chicago back in July. Talk about aloha spirit. My paints hadn't arrived so they let me use theirs for free. Painted the 3 tako (octopus) in about 4 hours.

The pink and blue piece is by Exhaust. He's a beast! He freestyles this stuff starting from the middle of the piece, working outwards.
