Lost Claws: One of Montreal's most fun-loving graffiti artists

Turn any corner in Montreal and you might find Lost Claws’ work wheat-pasted on a wall, maybe amending a construction sign, tucked inside an alcove or coating a rooftop:

Cartoon skulls, caricatures speaking of religiosity by making the grim reaper a saint, sassy animals with sad quotes and lots of jokes about death.

When asked why they do what they do: “I like to have a good time,” they say, plain and simple. For Lost Claws, there’s a lot of passion in adding to the city’s skyline.

Most of all, though, the art is about pure and unabashed joy for Lost Claws.

“It’s a great feeling to see yourself and your art along a street. It gives you a feeling that you’re part of the city. It may not be meaningful to most people, but it makes me feel good.”
