Riding around Griffintown was frankly a little sad. Once a vibrant hipster neighborhood, now it becoming block after block of condo development. This colourful mural on the side of an old building signified an artistic element not found elsewhere. Normally I avoid painting other people's art, but in this case the mural provided a stunning contrast to the monochromatic construction projects. In the background I depicted the condos in grey scale. The mural was not exactly like this, I wanted to provide a homage not a copy. The artist was gosensi420. A lot of people walked by as I painted this one.
