So.... what now?

The exhibition is done and dusted and to be honest it has left quite a void. After spending such a long time planning and putting the show together, with it all finished it feels a little strange not having anything to do! We took a few days off to recover but now it's time to put on the thinking caps and get to work on robotandspark 2009!!

First things first though is to get the new website up and running. With all the confusion and technical difficulties surrounding the hosting transfers we hope to have something online within 10 days before unleashing the new and improved robotandspark website by the end of the month.

To celebrate the success of the MY NAME IS ROBOT show, we are planning a limited edition coffee-table book to celebrate the exhibition, the robots, the artists and photographers. Still looking at the logistics of getting that done but hopefully we can get some funding from some of the third parties that were involved in the project.

After being let-down by the manufacturers in the US / CHINA we have had to source an alternative supplier for the robot toy. So unfortunately there has been a delay in production of the toy, but we are hoping that the new guys can turn the project round by the Summer! We certainly are feeling more comfortable dealing with these new chaps as opposed to the cowboys from drastic plastic....

We are also going to be pushing mr logo big time in 2009. As the economic downturn truly bites the Middle East, we feel there is no better time for a cost effective branding and design service to make it's mark. We already have 3 exciting projects lined up for March.

And finally, a lot of  people have been asking about the follow-up to MY NAME IS ROBOT, and whether there will be another custom toy show. All we are going to say for now is yes, probably at the end of 2009, but it will be even bigger, crazier and more international than our first effort....
