Sid Lee’s chalkboard project and lecture

Thanks to the Sid Lee COLLECTIVE … I had this amazing opportunity to go to Montreal and meet the people who make up the SUPER COOL AGENCY Sid Lee.

For an entire week I was fortunate enough to experience the unique creative energy at SID LEE … talk with people … have an ART OPENING … give a lecture to a great bunch of local illustrators .. many of who I admire, attend a comic convention… eat raw beef, snail and duck in a can …..learn a little French, talk to taxi drivers from Haiti and have many other unforgettable memories.

I am truly grateful! Thanks for an amazing time and for being such a gracious host.

I know this question has been tormenting you for awhile .. waking you up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat .. you ask “Are the fortune cookies in Montreal bilingual as well????” .. the answer is YES/OUI

    You have such a primitive, wild, exotic, esoteric style. And it looks so good on chalkboard. Great work.

    Just stumbled in here because of a link to the photo at the bottom of that remarkable building.
    Where is it situated? Montreal? On what street?

    Thanks in advance!
