Again a work done by Hest1 in his usual format, a stunning lettering with a character in hoodie :
I like the snow, it goes well with the white and black colors chosen by Hest1 to make this work. And the flames to warm up the alley a bit 😀
WHERE
Alley between Chambord and De Brébeuf Street, Montreal, Canada.
Position on Google Maps
WHO
Hest1 aka The Wild Child, is street artist from France and based now between Paris and Montreal. He started graffiti in 1989 after a BMX racing event when his father took him. In 1999, he moved to Montreal and one of his first job was social animator for the city Montreal.
Very cool character with a hoodie and his spray can.
Music is very important when he created a new work (as you can see in the Bonus Video). In 2003, he joined the collective Nomadic Massive, music group composed of several solo artists who sing in different languages (English, French, Creole, Spanish and Arabic)...

The tree even without leaves doesn't allow to see well the work 😕
