If anyone gets less respect than comic artists, it's gotta be their close cousins, graffiti artists. They bang out massive murals for no pay, dodge constant police harassment, and will all surely die of aerosol-related brain tumours. The good news for graffiti lovers is that the Plateau is overrun with the can-toting miscreants, like the anonymous wizard responsible for the back wall of Marché Coloniale at the corner of de Coloniale and Napoléon (seen here). Come spring, expect another wave of paint-punk pop art.
