Plateau Doors

Got some fresh new doors from the Plateau . These are great namely because of the layers of paint that have accumulated over the years.
Most of these doors are from back alley's behind St. Laurent and Mont-Royal, just a sliver of the plateau but a good one.
Some of these doors still had tags and characters from a few years back, plus plenty of new hits. Plateau doors are always soaked in paint, they represent some of the most organic, flowing surfaces in the city.
Whenever I need a good dose of graff these back alleys are a solid reminder of the grimy character of writing in Montreal.

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.
