Roadsworth began painting the streets of Montreal in the fall of 2001. Initially motivated by a desire for more bike paths in the city and a questioning of "car culture" in general, he continued to develop a language around street markings and other elements of the urban landscape using a primarily stencil based technique. In the fall of 2004, Roadsworth was arrested for his nocturnal activities and charged with 53 counts of mischief. Despite the threat of heavy fines and a criminal record he received a relatively lenient sentence which he attributes in part to the public support he received subsequent to his arrest. Since that time, Roadsworth has received various commissions for his work and continues to be active in both visual art and music

Wow, the fish one made me blink & look twice! I love how they're functional, & created with just white & yellow paints. Hawaii needs this guy to beautify our roads, they're hideous, besides being full of potholes & lacking sidewalks!
These are awesome.
I would enjoy walking around just to see those.
Wow, that's really cool. I would enjoy having him in my town.
