That’s right folks, just one day to go until the Nottingham show! Im currently sitting in my room in Bristol, surrounded by artwork and stuff to take back, as in an hours time I make the journey to Notts to meet up with Waste, Klingatron & Pone to start hanging the work!

I really hope you can make it down, we’re going to be working as hard as we can to put on a great show - so from the work on the walls to the live art, you can be sure we’re giving it our all!

The goodie bags are being prepped too, I’ve burnt off just 10 copies of the hand-made / super8 film by Robbie Keast & Danny Wainwright onto DVD and popped them in a random selection of goodie bags, and Ive also put an all-black one-of-two production sample of my vinyl toy ‘Droplet‘ in one random bag too!! (I only received 2 black samples, the first prototypes I ever got to see so it’s pretty special!)

If that isn’t enough to entice you, well then I guess I’d better mention the free drinks then hadn’t i… They’ll be beer & wine available at the show* and then if you’re carrying on to the Orange Tree with us for the after party, show off your xynthetic logo hand-stamp and you’ll get another free drink or two** plus happy-hour price cocktails!

It’s bank holiday Friday, what else are you going to do with your night?

That’s just, just 7 days remaining until the 2nd installment of the Carbon & Chemicals trilogy!! Things are heating up now, ‘to do’ lists are getting longer, feelings of panic are getting stronger, excitement is building… you get where we’re going with this!

Not only are we displaying the work we’ve already created (which consists of painted boards, screenprints, photography and a projection), we’re busy adding MORE things for you to peruse… more boards, more prints, more photos!

So we’ve established there’s more work for you to see, but that isn’t the end of it!

To tickle your earholes we’ve got beats supremo ED209 on the ones & two’s, providing the soundtrack for the evening and to titillate your eyeballs we’ve got live art from myself, WASTE, Klingatron, Pone AND Mr Jago painting prints for you there and then, which will be available to purchase as soon as he’s finished them, how’s that for a slice of fried gold!?

We’ve got free Goodie Bags for the first 30 people that come and grab them - packed with stickers, badges and stuff you need in your life! Don’t worry if you miss out though, we’ll all have some Xyn badges to dish out to you, so just ask us for one!

All in all we’re working really hard to make this Nottingham show as enjoyable as possible so if you’re around, please do come down and check it out! Here’s the details…

There’s an official after-party at The Orange Tree in Notts City Centre so be sure to join us for that too!!

Right then, that’s that, put the date in the diary and we’ll see you next week!

The one & only Mr Jago has got his very own clothing line called ‘Play Nice’ being launcher very soon and let me tell you, it is sicker than your average bear… You can get a taster of the products online @ www.playnice.co.uk and even better, you can download the Catalogue in PDF format to have an in-depth peek at the goodies to come!

Keep your eyes peeled for this because it’s going to be killer, nice one Dunc! 

Richt (aka TeaForTwo) does it again, getting himself a nice 2-page spread on his most excellent artwork in the latest issue of Whitelines Snowboarding magazine!

With just 2 weeks to go until our very first Carbon & Chemicals show, we’re all hard at work doing our thing, getting paintings painted, skateboards finished, edits edited and things sorted!

Word is spreading too, thanks to the kind folk who have been posting about it on various places: Lomography events website, Haxed forum, Modart Magazine, Kitch-en’s website and the Computer Arts magazine diary page…

(Come join us on Friday the 1st for the opening night though!)

So I’ll leave you with a few more sneak peak lomo’s from Laura, Waste & the gang…

Following up in Mr Jago’s CamoBot footsteps, I’ve got my very own vinyl toy in development which I’m super stoked about…

I’m SO so stoked to be able to show you this, it’s the final wax pattern mould for my very first and very own Vinyl toy named Droplet!!!

This little fella is being produced by the most excellent Andy Woo from Crazy Label (makers of Treeson) and it’s all just a dream come true for me!

He’s going to be tiny (2.5inches tall) and collectable with 5 colourways being available first!

He’ll be available sometime in the first quarter of 2008 so be sure to stay tuned for that! Next step is a sample made out of actual Vinyl and then the colourways, so I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Stay tuned for the last on it all @ www.jam-factory.com
