Roadsworth - Montreal Street Artist


Roadsworth is more than a street artist. He is a pioneer, and inspiration, and most of all a martyr for art. After several run-ins with the law Roadsworth found himself questioning whether or not to continue his crusade. "Despite the threat of heavy fines and a criminal record he received a relatively lenient sentence which he attributes in part to the public support he received subsequent to his arrest. Since that time, Roadsworth has received various commissions for his work and continues to be active in both visual art and music." You can find images, history, as well as information on the new documentary about Roadsworth here.
