Every week, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 37-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
The book David illustrated about the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike has jointly won the CAWLS ACETS (Canadian Association for Work & Labour Studies // Association) Book Prize (best book in work and labour studies).
