Here my entry for the CCC's Street Art Contest #30 with a collaboration between Wüna and Hest1 during last Under Pressure festival :
Very colorful mural with cool characters and some clichés about Canada and the city of Montreal : beavers, poutine (French fries with cheese and gravy), donut, subway, construction cone... But I wonder what the flying saucer is doing there (top right), I have never seen it yet 😀

Wüna is a French street artist from the south of France based since 2012 in Montreal. She discovered graffiti in the skatepark as a teenager and started writing and break dance in 2001. In 2005, she studied in Toulouse (south of France) and met many other writers.
Wüna, more about her in this very interesting interview done by Bombing Science
Hest1 aka The Wild Child, is street artist from France and based between Paris and Montreal. He started the Street Art in 1989 thanks to a BMX racing event. Always great lettering with a character with a hoodie.
There is an inscription for Hoar on the top left : Big Up Hoar. I don't why but also great street artist from Montreal with his funky pop style.
Thanks @digi-me to host this contest and all success to all participants
