Comments Catchup 515

Last night Weinbeeezy mentioned this update from Jeff Boyes that there may be a few hidden extras in the Desmond print. See the original comment at visualtechnicians.com/ and you can still purchase the print at DamonCarlton andaPolarBear.com

Then we have this small update from Daniel Danger via his facebook page that Ray told us about, and it does hint that, as before, the artists may have a few extra copies for sale at a later date.

Daniel Danger's website is http://tinymediaempire.com and if you go and have a look at that site you will see a slightly different update -

Whatever Happened Happened

No not a new DamonCarltonandaPolar Bear print, however this poster is by a LOSTARGs regular Andrew Hawryluk and deserves a special mention.

New Poster - Not Pennys Boat 183

A new poster has arrived on the damoncarltonandapolarbear.com web site.

It is entitled "Not Penny's Boat" and is by Little Friends Of Printmaking who have a website at - thelittlefriendsofprintmaking.com

The poster depicts the scene from season 6 in which Charlie and Desmond plunge into the sea and Sideways Desmond has a flash of the alternate Charlie.

Everything is for Sale 73

At around 20:30 BST, 12:30 PST the new DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear site started selling its wares, and now nearly 12 hours later, guess what, it is all still available for sale.

We have seen a smooth ordering process, which unfortunately has now been updated to stop multiple copies being purchased in one transaction, and some reports that their order status has now changed to shipped already.

As to when the remaining will be for sale in the Quarantined areas we have no information on when this might happen, but there are eight slots and eight days to the final episode so maybe that is not a coincidence.

LOST Live - Photos and Closeups 255

It has been quite a 24 hours in the LOST world with many people from all over the planet sending me information for which I'm eternally grateful.

Here we have a selection of pictures from last night, click on each picture to see a larger version.

Also if you haven't already seen it in the previous comments Tyson Givens has sent out an email telling people that they will need to re-register on the Damon Carlton and a Polar Bear site before purchasing anything.

Still no word on when that will be yet by the way.

Hurley the Third 12

Reading all the reports from LOST live last night it sounds amazing. Team jack was reporting back @nerderific on twitter)

The picture to the left is of some of the usual LOSTARGs and Lost Community regulars, with the head our old pal Paul Sheer in the background.

Next we have a couple of pictures from the Gallery 1988 stand in the UCLA hall. One of the pictures appears to be the third image from the DamonCarltonandaPolarBear mini series.


Then finally this Tweet from Jensen Karp :-


Thanks so much to Team Jack for reporting back and keeping us all informed, check out Team Jack's new blog We Love Lost - welovelost.wordpress.com

Happy LOST LIVE Day - A Second DCaaPB Image 128

It is LOST Live day and early this morning in the UK / yesterday evening in the US, the Damon Carlton and A Polar Bear site was updated with the second of the three images.


The image appears to be of Sawyer, reading a book of course, sitting in the remnants of an Oceanic 815 jet engine.

Thanks to Andrew for being the first to email about the new image.

The Way Pendant

So we are still waiting for some updates, since the LOST Live event is only in a few days then the next couple of days could be quite busy.

Until then another update from one of our regular contributors Justin Sena through his website http://www.damoncarltonandme.com/.

As you can see below this is a pendant and it was created by the artist Thanh Ngu. It is available for sale at http://www.yougotsomearztonyou.com/ however Justin is running a competition to win one of the pendants plus a couple of small Damon Carlton and a Polar Bear goodies.

108 Objects from Flight 815

While we wait for some Damon Carlton and a Polar Bear updates, we were sent this T-Shirt design from the artist design community "Threadless".

The T-Shirt is called "108 Objects from Flight 815" and is by Nathan Pyle. Click Here to go to the web site.


Click here to read more information about the T-Shirt from Nathan

"I'd originally set out to create a giant, chalkboard-size differential equation that 'explains' the ultimate mystery of the show, using symbols from the show - a polar bear (minus) fish biscuit (times the square root of ) the lighthouse, and on and on to a tongue-in-cheek payoff I hadn't yet determined - probably something about telling Locke what he can't do. As I drew more and more symbols, I realized the equation was unnecessary and I could make the items into a mosaic.


It was so easy because LOST is full of instantly recognizable symbols and physical, tangible things - a broken airplane, a set of knives, a wheelchair, a metal case, the Virgin Mary statues. It wasn't a stretch at all to come up with 108 references - especially because there are so many LOST fans in the Threadless community that helped by using the blog forum to send me suggestions for more symbols.


So the design is a tribute to the very visual nature of the show - stark black and white, physical conflict - (gun beats knife, smoke monster beats gun!) and the physical items that in many cases tie a character to his/her checkered past - Charlie's Drive Shaft ring, Kate's toy plane, Sawyer's letter (He's a complex guy, sweetheart)


I'm a huge fan of the show - in fact, I work in television, and a dream job would be to work on or write for a brilliant series like this. As I worked on the design, I went back to the very beginning and started watching the episodes straight through again. I'd forgotten how much I love the simplicity of the first few seasons - "Guys, where are we??" - but I also love the added layers of intrigue and mystery with each successive season, and of course I'm sad to see it end.


So I hope the shirt (and hoodie) can help soothe the sadness just a little bit and we can carry on in the midst of our impending LOSTless state. In the words of Hurley, "Let's look Death in the face and say, 'Whatever, man!'"

LOST University Post Graduate Course ? 210

Kevin has emailed in a picture of his Lost University Diploma that was personally signed by Damon and Carlton and a big congratulations to all that qualified for the special diploma.

However for once that isn't the main news.








There was a Post it note on the back and as you can see it mentions a date in August for a possible Masters Program.

I'm sure it's a complete coincidence but this also happens to be the date that the final season is scheduled to be released on Blu-Ray and DVD

Tragicsunshine Tweet 33

Team Jack sent us this info about a Tweet from Kevin Tong (@tragicsunshine) the link shows a Facebook update that talks about the LOST Live event, but unfortunately gives no significant new information.

Daniel Dangers LOST Things

This update was posted on Daniel Dangers Facebook page last night, more information when it is available.



(See the comments in the previous post for more information sent in an email from DD).

Thanks to Lottery Ticket for being the first person to email us about this.

The First of the Three 288

Overnight the first update to the new Damon Carlton and a Polar Bear website was made.


The image appears to be either Jack lying in the Bamboo from the pilot episode or possibly Jack running somewhere.

The information about the new image was Tweeted by @GoMerch and Scoutpost was the first to let us know in the comments.

Update - This is an attempt to enhance and resize the image and it does indeed look like Jack in the Bamboo.

Oddly enough he has an orchestra with him this time !

Damon Carlton and A Polar Bear - The Art Strikes Back 295

Out of the blue we have been sent an email to tell us that the Damon Carlton and a Polar Bear website has been updated.

The new information ties in with the LOST Live promotion that has been advertised, and may mean new artwork is in the pipeline.

Stay tuned for more information when it arrives.

Update - Last night in the comments mistersh0w pointed out that the UCLA Live website shows a version of the image used on the DCAAPB website. Also people signed up to ABC.com LOST updates have had an email about the event which also contains the image.

Mathematical Forecasting Initiative 118

Last week someone sent me a link to this site and until today I didn't have time to go and have a look.

The Mathematical Forecasting Initiative is supposedly and offshoot of the DHARMA Initiative and has some interesting threories about mathematics and numbers in general. There are some entertaining videos with Dr Marvin Candle and lots of mentions of Valenzetti and the numbers.

While I'm reasonably sure that this not an official ABC or LOST produced website, as it is Italian in origin and has the initials of a defunct furniture sales chain in the UK, it is rather interesting for those that have followed LOST ARG's in the past.
