What Does Creativity Mean To You

Illustrators: What Does Creativity Mean To You?

mayamada February 13, 2016 No Comments

Last year saw the launch of our #BeCreative campaign and with the help of 24 great artists, manage to create a one of a kind collection of artwork that answered the question: what does creativity mean to you?

We’re keeping our campaign going in 2016, starting with another installment of our creative blog feature. This time around we’re speaking to some of the same illustrators who contributed to our launch and finding out about their creative process.

Take a look at their interviews to find out what creativity means to these illustrators and just what goes into producing their amazing work.

Earlier this month we made our third appearance at StreetFest at their new Tobacco Dock home. After our first appearance in a while last year, we couldn’t wait to collaborate with the StreetFest team and have some fun (and more food).

We set up in the market area with our range of anime inspired clothing and comics. We also introduced our Selfie Competition where you had to be the first to take a selfie with six of our characters to win a t-shirt or snapback…which is just what our winner Tegan did. Congratulations!

The best thing about StreetFest is al the creativity that goes on through out the day. From musicians to skateboarders to the graffiti artists working on brilliant pieces over the day.

Get Serious!

So far the response to our original mayamada show, The Samurai Chef has been great but we don’t plan to stop there, goodness no! As summer approaches we have plans to bring out more tees based on original mayamada shows and we are happy to reveal some sneak peak info on some of our latest creations!

Show Title: Serious

Big Idea: If you serious about an idea or dream, with hard work and the right people behind you, it can become a reality!

Main Character: Blake Smithe [aka Blake Serious]

Age: 19

Personality: Confident, Cool temperament

Favorite Film: The Social Network

Quote: “One way or another, it’s getting done!”

As you can see this young chap looks pretty serious and we are itching to reveal more about the plot and supporting characters, so look out for updates coming soon.

 

For this show were working with an artist know as Illustriousman, a name  which kind of reminds me of the Illusive Man from Mass Effect 2 only this artist is not nearly  shady.  I personally really like his style and look forward to creating more characters with him. You can check out more of his work here:

We have also been working with a talented animator Washue who has created a cool little gif of our Great Panda Dan from The 11th Hour. I really want reveal more about that show but for now I leave you with this:
