CCC's Street Art Contest #219 Shok Ahcer & Soy, Montreal
For the CCC's Street Art Contest #219 hosted by @digi-me, I'm featuring a wall created over 20 years ago, in 2001, by Shok, Soy and Ahcer. It's incredible that a 23 year old wall is still intact without any tags, just the passage of time has had its effect by washing out the colours a little.
Pour le CCC's Street Art Contest #219 organisé par @digi-me, je vous propose un mur réalisé, il y a plus de 20 ans, en 2001 par Shok, Soy et Ahcer. C'est incroyable qu'un mur de 23 ans soit encore intact sans aucun tags, juste le passage du temps a fait son effet en délavant un peu les couleurs.
I've been wanting to take a photo of this wall for some time, but there were often parked cars. But this summer, with the pedestrianisation of rue Mont Royal, I was able to take advantage of the absence of cars. / FR : Cela fait quelques temps que je veux prendre en photo ce mur mais il y avait souvent des voitures garées souvent. Mais cet été avec la piétonisation de la rue Mont Royal, j'ai pu profité de cette absence de voitures.
WHERE
On the corner of Mont Royal and Saint Hubert, near Mont Royal metro station in Montreal.
Au coin des rues Mont Royal et Saint Hubert tout près près du Métro Mont Royalà Montréal.

WHO
Shok, Ahcer & Soy
It's always better when a wall is signed, it's simpler 😀. There's even the year. It was 2001 that Shok, Soy and Ahcer made it with Marsupilami as the main theme. I don't know if you're familiar with this comic strip character created in 1952 by André Franquin for the French-Belgian magazine Spirou. I was a great reader during my childhood
C'est toujours mieux quand un mur est signé, c'est plus simple 😀. Il y a même l'année. C'est 2001 que Shok, Soy et Ahcer l'ont réalisé avec pour thème principal le Marsupilami. Je ne sais pas si vous connaissez ce personnage de bande dessinée créé en 1952 par André Franquin pour le magazine franco-belge Spirou. Cela a bercé mon enfance.
The first lettering is done by Ahcer, an artist I don't know at all. It's the only work I know of him, maybe from another generation. / FR : Le premier lettrage est l'oeuvre de Ahcer, un artiste que je ne connais pas du tout. C'est la seule oeuvre que je lui connais, peut-etre une autre génération.
The second is the work of Shok, a pioneer and writer who got his start in StreetArt in the 1990s with the HYH crew, as shown on the wall. He's still active with more colourful lettering to be seen on his Instagram.
Le deuxième est l'oeuvre de Shok, un pionnier et writer qui a débuté de StreetArt dans les années 1990 avec le crew HYH comme indiqué sur le mur. Il est toujours actif avec des lettrages plus colorés à voir sur son Instagram.
The last lettering is also by an artist, Soy, and it's the only lettering I know of. As for the characters, I don't know who did them. But all the characters of the Marsupilami with his children and the tiger that wants to eat him are really well done. Very nice mural, it's cool that it's been preserved all these years.
Le dernier lettrage est aussi d'un artiste, Soy dont c'est le seul lettrage que je connais. Pour les personnages, je ne sais pas qui les réaliser. Mais tous les personnages du Marsupilami avec ses enfants et le tigre qui veut le manger sont vraiment bien faits. Très belle murale, c'est cool qu'elle a été préservée toutes ces années.
Marsupilami
Bonus
In the alley just next door, I found this little painting screwed into a post with a rather philosophical text underneath. Interesting stuff. / FR : Dans la ruelle juste à côté, j'ai trouvé ce petit tableau vissé dans un poteau avec un texte assez philosophique en dessous. Intéressant.

It's true that for StreetArt it's very rare for a wall to last so long, especially as it's so accessible.
Have a great week too
It is rare indeed.
Thank you, enjoy yours 👋🏻😊

Very cool wall. Love the characters. I don't remember the cartoon but the artwork is iconic - instantly familar.
Yes, it's more of a comic strip known in France and Belgium...
