This book just got launched a few days ago: Picture This! Posters of social movements in Québec (1966 - 2007) There are a whopping 659 posters featured, and 44 of them are featured on the publisher’s website. There are accompanying essays etc, all addressing “Québec’s social history and political imagination”. If you click through, they have included a table of contents and media files of press they have received on various radio stations and so on. I’d link directly, but they unfortunately designed their website in frames (blah!) I haven’t seen the book personally yet, but I’m willing to bet it’s an excellent documentation of evolution in poster/street art aesthetics.
Cumulus Press seems to have more than one title of interest to us here. While you’re there, check out the book Extraction! Comix Reportage.
What a wonderful article. Congrats! Its great to see such a huge article covering illustrators in the paper.
Ohh... thanks for posting this article. It means a lot to me as I'm about to moving from Maracaibo (Venezuela) to Montreal and I hope to be a professional illustrator someday :)
Thanks Susan!
Great Susan! I don't think you sound cranky - what you said is so true and very important.
Excellent, Susan! You don't sound cranky, just telling it like it is. It IS like how you said, people don't understand it's hard work. Oh, and I was surprised to see my name in the initial listing! I never hough of myself as a Quebec-based illustrator since I straddle the continent. Thanks for posting this!
Congratulations Susan, it's nice to be recognized this way. I agreed exactly with what you said - I thought you expressed yourself really well.
