Poster for my next book, Show Your Work!
If you pre-order the book from BookPeople here in Austin, Texas, I’ll sign and personalize your book, and they’ll have it to your doorstep on release date! They ship everywhere. Awesome deal.
At our Edmonton chapter, designer, urbanist, and geographer Carmen Douville spoke on December’s theme of Make. Along with three partners, Carmen founded Loyal Loot Collective, which creates lovely wood products such as these Caramel Log Bowl made from repurposed wood. Watch her talk . →

The latest illustration from our monthly poster series comes from Chelsea Boos & Foolscap Studio “The city is us, we are the city.”
The quote comes from Carmen Douville’s talk in December.
Thanks Chelsea!

Our CreativeMornings was close to the shortest day of the year. It was cold and snowy and we all came out anyway.

The latest illustration in our monthly series is: ‘It’s not polite to fart in Elevators’ - thanks for that gem Howard! October’s illustration was done by the lovely Michelle McBride. Thanks so much Michelle!

Here’s our favourite quote from August’s talk with Tegan Martin-Drysdale. We’ll be giving away one of these prints to both the person who suggested this quote, and a lucky randomly selected attendee at this Friday’s talk.
Thanks to illustrator Chris Provins for the awesome work and the lovely screenprint from our friends at SNAP

2013/07 Mark Templeton | Space from CreativeMornings/EDM on Vimeo.
Mark Templeton (fieldsawake.com) was our speaker at this month’s CreativeMornings (creativemornings.com) themed “Space”.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Canadian sound artist Mark Templeton utilizes acoustic instruments, found sounds and sampled material to construct textured, collage-like electronic compositions. Since the release of his critically acclaimed “Standing on a Hummingbird” in 2007, his sound has been called “pastoral,” but also “painterly” in an attempt to describe how his sources are crumbled and reconstructed into new forms; a process further developed and realized on subsequent releases for Anticipate Recordings, Staalplaat, Sweat Lodge Guru and Under the Spire Recordings.
Templeton’s works have been commissioned by organizations of contemporary dance, film and audiovisual disciplines. His ongoing collaborations with filmmakers aAron Munson and Kyle Armstrong and sound artists Nicola Ratti and Ezekiel Honig have produced numerous works on various formats. “Resophonic City” (with Nicola Ratti) and “EXTENSIONS” (with Kyle Armstrong) will be released on LP vinyl and a double release of LP vinyl and Blu-ray Disc in 2013.
Templeton has performed at international festivals and alternative spaces such as MUTEK Festival (Montreal), Unsound Festival (Krakow), Eat This Festival (Utrecht), Galapagos (New York), Send + Receive Festival (Winnipeg), Half Die Festival (Rome), Café OTO (London) and Suoni Per Il Popolo Festival (Montreal).
