Whatisadam – who also sometimes goes by the shorter ‘WIA’ – uses a pop art approach to his work which is heavily inspired by Canadiana: hockey, maple syrup, woodsmen, wildlife such as deers, buffalos, wolves, mallards, fish, etc. Off the streets he is into silkscreen printing and produces various objects, but on the streets his medium has been mostly wheatpasting.

For information on what he is up to, see his personal and Facebook pages. For more photos of his work, see his Instagram and Flickr pages. A bit of Whatisadam at work can be seen in this video on Vimeo.

Whatisadam, aussi connu sous le diminutif WIA, utilise une approche pop art et son esthétique est très canadienne, ses thèmes récurrents étant le hockey, le sirop d’érable, le bucheron et la faune telle que le cerf, le bison, le loup, le canard colvert, les poissons, etc. Hors-rue il produit beaucoup de sérigraphies et divers objets, mais sur la rue son medium principal est le wheatpasting.
