Jam & Custard - pictures of the night!

What a great night it was! A fantastic turnout for the show the place was jammed full! Haha get it? Jammed full?…ok no more puns sorry.

Droplets! Yay!!!

Droplets were flying off the shelves as people searched for the ellusive black chase figure, and the seemingly even more ellusive green figure which seemed to get pulled less than the chase! The walls were adorned with vinyl cut-out droplets and lazer cut Jam Factory and Droplet logos with free button badges, stickers, postcards and sugary goodness everywhere!

So many peoples! Boxes galore! Which ones hold the mystery chase? Even more peoples!

Upstairs there was even more goodness to be had with a fantastic exhibition of customised Droplets by some fantastic artists! And on the opposing wall, some beautiful lazer etched skatedecks and some hand-made Droplet plushies! As usual I’ve been rather o.c.d with the photo’s and taken close-ups of every piece, so read on to view all the fantastic customs!

Jared Deal has created this animatic as part of the Radiohead ‘In Rainbows’ competition. I was quite taken by it and so had to post it for all too see!

The animation follows the journey of a small curious sea creature chasing a worm, but soon finds out he’s bitten off more than he can chew!

The video wont progress to it’s next stage unless it gets voted through, so c’mon people get voting! :D

Hazchem Mini-Plushes are here!

Hazchem Mini-Plush Hazchem Mini-Plush Hazchem Mini-Plush Hazchem Mini-Plush

Hazmate and Cloud-X are characters patterned after two Hazchem creatures which I first created as a street art sticker. The expression on their faces together with the red X-sign of “extreme danger” has to induce confusion and some curiosity!

Hazchem mini-plush are now available at the Bytedust-shop or find them at your favorite toy store soon!
