63 creatives. One blank sheet of paper. One community tote.
What happens when you ask a room full of Vancouver creatives to make something together?
At a Creative Pulse event, award-winning Vancouver artist Carson Ting handed everyone a black marker and a blank sheet of paper.
One simple invitation: create something.
Dozens of commercial creatives contributed their own drawings, each with a different style, perspective, and personality.
What started as a room full of individual ideas eventually became one original piece of artwork.
And now, that collaboration has turned into something you can carry with you.
Introducing the Chairman Ting × Creative Pulse Community Tote.
A different kind of artist collaboration
Carson Ting has created work for Nike, the NBA, and some of Canada’s biggest public art installations.
Most recently, he was named an official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Artist representing Canada.
But for this project, Carson tried something new.
Instead of creating the artwork entirely himself, he invited a room full of Vancouver creatives to become part of the process.
No complicated brief. No specific style to follow.
Just a blank sheet of paper, a black marker, and the chance to make something.
From individual drawings to one original piece
Dozens of creatives took part, each bringing their own ideas to the table.
Some drawings were simple. Others were more detailed. Every contribution had its own personality.
Carson then brought those individual creations together into one original piece of artwork.
It’s a pretty cool reminder of what can happen when you give people the space to create something together.
And that’s really what Creative Pulse is about.
Bringing people together, sharing ideas, and giving local creatives a chance to connect outside their usual work.
Turning the artwork into something you can carry
Once the artwork came together, we started thinking about what we could do with it.
The result is a limited-edition tote featuring the collaborative artwork created by Carson and our community.
Produced locally with our friends at MAKE Vancouver, the tote brings together the work of dozens of Vancouver creatives in one piece.
It’s a first-of-its-kind Creative Pulse collaboration with Chairman Ting, and we’re pretty excited to finally share it.
Helping more people learn their own way
There’s another reason we’re excited about this project.
We’re donating 100% of net proceeds to Lightwell Learning, a Vancouver-based charity that helps children, youth, and adults with learning differences thrive.
Through personalized instruction, specialized learning programs, and financial assistance, Lightwell helps learners build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
