A Book About A-holes
Continuing the theme of our fantastic experience at Create Upstate last week in Syracuse (previous post here), we’d like to introduce you to Curtis Canham of CSA Creative Studio. Canham is an art director/designer/educator based in the Albany area with an impressive and diverse portfolio, from sophisticated packaging to illustration-driven infographics to consumer-facing web design.…
Read MoreCandid Camera: Photographer Captures Reading Habits of NYC Subway Commuters
Voyeurism is a term we use loosely here, more referring to human curiosity than anything perverse in nature.

Harrington selected…

In a sea of ebooks and devices dedicated to delivering digital books to hungry consumers, one publisher, Eterna Cadencia, has another innovation in mind. They recently released El Libro que No Puede Esperar – ‘The Book that Cannot Wait’, an anthology…
