Bonne St-Jean

by matt on June 25, 2008

I’ve had a few conversations in the last few days about this city and how much it means to me. Yesterday was St-Jean Baptiste day here in Quebec – a provincial holiday which gives us a chance to reflect on what is unique and wonderful about this place.

There was a party on my street, with the local shop owner giving away free Kefta to all the neighbours.

I’ve been here for three years and it’s simply my favourite city in the world. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else right now.

Bonne St-Jean.

Fantastic sketch/drawing/illustration (not sure how to describe it :P). Anywho, love it.

Great sketch. My wife and I are visiting Montreal for a week in October–I’ve heard nothing but awesome things, and can’t wait to see it!

Your beautiful sketches always remind me of edward ardizzone, with their lovely quiet expressive feel!
