Ville St-Laurent - Une chance en or

I grew up on these streets. My first bike was from Cycles St-Laurent. A second-hand ugly blue metal thing with streamers. Riding around near Decarie Street was an exciting trip “downtown” for us Ville St-Laurent suburbanites. Visiting the abundant comic book stores, we spent our allowances with reckless abandon on back issues of Spiderman that were religiously bagged, boarded then carefully stacked in comic boxes, until the day they might become highly valuable. They never did of course, but early investing in the comic and sports card bubble of the 90’s taught me a thing or two about supply and demand. At least all those hours copying the artwork of Todd McFarlane paid off in spades.

An art print poster on paper by illustrator Jason Wasserman. Part of the Montreal Neighbourhood Series. A deep and dirty dive into the architecture and citizens of the great city of Montreal.

This unique series of posters is executed in the artist’s signature bold black and white style. Wonderfully detailed and created from a 100% hand-drawn illustration that you can stare at for hours, this drawing is absolutely littered with Easter eggs. Inspired by the unsung heroes of Montreal, the image is remixed through the lens of vintage comic book cover art, with a unique vocabulary of original typography and graphics.
