Last week, I announced the end of the One Phat DJ Podcast with the final mix “The Finalé” due for release next Friday 12th September 2008.

Since then, I’ve been overwhelmed with the sheer volume of thank you and good luck messages from regular listeners to the podcast, in the blog comments, on the Facebook group and event page, on email, Twitter and last.fm (to name but a few). It has touched me that so many people have not only listened to the podcast religiously but it has such emotional ties to the individuals. Some of the stories I’ve received in the last week have even put a tear in my eye.

Anyway, enough blubbing - I’ll save that for next week!

To celebrate the last ever One Phat DJ podcast mix, I’m putting out a request…

I want all budding artists and designers to send me your artwork so I can collate a huge series of submissions into a Finalé catalogue.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t see yourself as an artists or designer - send me your ideas anyway!

As an added incentive, I shall personally send my three favourite submissions a small gift as way of a thank you.

To aid your creativeness, have a look through the archive of podcast artwork on Flickr. Here are a select few…

You can also download high-res, 32-bit transparent PNG versions of the One Phat DJ logo and The Finalé text to include in your piece.

• One Phat DJ logo
• The Finalé text

So what are you waiting for? Get listening to some of your favourite mixes from the last three years for inspiration, delve into your paintbox (be it digital or physical) and send your submissions by any of the following methods:

• Upload it somewhere like Flickr or Photo Bucket and post a link in the comments below
• Email it to mail@simonjobling.com
• Upload it to the Facebook event page

I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
