Drawn! The Illustration and Cartooning Blog

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.
