Claude -
Still Alive
Street artist, urban cowboy, a man whose hardscrabble life is etched into every line on his face — but a survivor. With paintbrush, humour and friendship he brightens the shop windows of Montreal lifting up the hearts of merchants and the spirits of passersby. Sign-painting is a vanishing trade. Claude Dolbec has chosen life on the margins for its access to fellowship and to beauty in its truest sense. Inspiring and uplifting, this is a tale of love and of remarkable resilience.
