A Montreal artist living with autism draws a stunning drawing of the Old Montreal skyline and garners hundreds of thousands of views on social media
WATCH: A local artist with autism is rapidly garnering a huge following on social media and recently completed a stunning drawing of Old Montreal. As Global’s Amanda Jelowicki reports, Casey Vormer’s work is remarkable in many ways.Montreal artist Casey Vormer proudly is showing off what could be his greatest work — a sprawling, 10-foot-long multicoloured drawing of the Old Montreal skyline, a piece that took him 900 hours to complete.
Vormer started drawing as a toddler as a form of escapism. He would draw cartoon characters and animals, and took comfort in them. “To grow up like that, it has a huge effect on your self esteem, wondering why you are struggling with everything,” he said from his St. Laurent Boulevard studio. “I have a lot of daily struggles, like getting groceries, prioritizing tasks, communicating with customers, things like that. The drawing is going good but everything together can get extremely overwhelming.”
