HDMA notebooks
Just completed a set of gocco-printed, hand-made notebooks for the Hand Drawn Map Association. They’ll be given out to all contributors for the month of January 2010. Note to Gocco enthusiasts low on supplies: I used this Gocco alternative from Circuit Bridge called StencilPRO, and it worked great.

Why I like the everyday
Map by Will Haughery of a fictional location. HDMA map #189.
Pictures like this often amaze me for how they accidently reveal a variety of details about everyday life. This is a picture I took this morning of a map drawn by Will. We decided he drew it in his sketchbook in early 2008 at basically the same time as I was creating the website for the Hand Drawn Map Association. It’s a map to a fictional place that he found the other night and cut out to give to me. He taped it up with masking tape along three of the edges. I’m not sure why. Also pictured here is my favorite spicy noodle recipe, Drunken Noodles. It was featured in the September 2005 issue of Bon AppetÃt magazine and is from a restaurant in Queens I’ve never been to, Sripraphai. I just made it again the other night for Beth and I. Christian, Beth and I ate it later that night cold. It was still really good. It’s super easy to make with ground turkey or chicken. You can also see the Marcel Dzama salt shakers I bought Beth for Christmas one year. We have never put salt or pepper in either one, they just sit in the kitchen moving from one place to another.

The BIG FEED
This weekend was M12’s annual BIG FEED. It’s a reason for a bunch of people to get together and rally behind experimental art and ideas. This year’s FEED featured a lecture by Marjetica Portc along with local music and a spit-roasted buffalo.
Also was the opening of Chicken Shack Village at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art. A project by BASELINE GROUP, the exhibition featured a variety of chicken coops designed by merging rural and urban aesthetics. The intuitive structures were created using found materials and the exhibition featured live chickens interacting with the structures.
For more BIG FEED pictures, check out the BIG FEED page on M12’s website or the M12 facebook page.
In more M12/municipalWORKSHOP news, the municipalWORKSHOP’s M.I.K.E. project was recently featured in ReadyMade magazine. And I’ve finally completed my re-designs of both the M12 and mW sites.
