Carbon & Chemicals was a mini arts 'tour' that we put on by Xynthetic - an arts collective, touring around 3 galleries in the UK (Middlesbrough, Nottingham & Bristol), at the start of 2008.
The show consisted of hand-painted skateboards, screenprints & a Super8 film accompanied by lomo photography documenting the whole process.
The artwork was produced by the xyn family members WASTE, Mr Jago, Klingatron, Richt, Danny Wainwright, Pone & JamFactory, with the photography by Laura Thorne, Lee Page, David Canning and the whole xyn fam.
This film, filmed & edited by Jonny Clooney aka M4KINOV is a retrospective of the whole show, featuring our work at the Middlesbrough & Nottingham galleries… Enjoy!

The creation of an indivisible collection of paint sprays customized by the artists. This collection will be published into an art book printed by the editions KITCHEN 93. It will be made available to the association LE M.U.R. who will be in charge of organizing exhibitions and live events. All the benefits of this association will be fully used to help, promote and support urban artists, as defined in its statutes.
This paint spray is the emblematic symbol of street art : tool and emblem as well, it seems the federative object of this movement, even though not everyone uses it. The collection will be composed of 400 spray cans and therefore 400 artists.
We've been busy in the new waste print shop creating some fresh works for the Carbon & Chemicals exhibition shown in Middlesbrough, Nottingham and Bristol…All the Prints including many one off test prints will be available shortly from http://wasteyourself.bigcartel.com so go and check it out and grab yourself a bargain!!
