London Anime & Gaming Con

mayamada February 12, 2014 No Comments

We spent this past weekend at the London Anime & Gaming Con. As usual it was a good mix of the wacky and wonderful in a relaxed community environment.

The event also saw us give our first Q&A panel at any convention. We were given the opportunity to talk on stage about the brand and characters, Samurai Chef included, as well as the manga we create.

It was a great two days seeing some cool cosplayers, meeting new fans and we even saw a marriage proposal!

Take a look at some of our photos, and head over to our Facebook page to say hi if we met you at LAGC.

We’re working a new video series which will begin in spring, but until then check out some photos from our day.

Whenever we put together a photoshoot we always hope to work with a great team. Somehow we keep getting lucky because once again we found ourselves working with an amazing group of photographers, make up artists and models.

We set up shop at Workrate Studios in East London to go through the new collection. Take a look at what we got up to and stay tuned for online preorders next month!

We had fantastic make up people throughout, keeping the models look their best.

Pre orders on the new hoodie will begin in October. Get ready!

Studio Photoshoot

Here’s a little peak at our most recent photoshoot at Workrate Studio.

We started bright and early (midday) in the studio with the new logo tees and sweatshirts.

We took a break during the day to watch My Wife and Kids. Remember that Show?

Then it was outside to get photos for the ASOS Marketplace.
