Maika

Posted on February 19, 2022 by Mary C

Maika is another Montreal street artist. So far, these are the paste-ups of hers that I’ve seen as I’ve walked around the city.

Red, white, and blue, melting into a puddle.

on a black door, a white piece of paper paste-up with a drawing, head and shouders, of a person. Line drawing. There could be one face or two depending on which way you look at it — One face or two?

a man walks past a wall that has a poster graffiti on it, unfortunately there is a rip in the paper so image is difficult to see but there is a had and a cow's head, image by Maika — The hand of David as a wing but with the head of a cow.

graffiti pasteup colourful image of a hand and open cigarette lighter but instead of a flame there is a small bouquet of flowers — You can’t start a fire with flowers can you? Lit.
