Earlier this month we meet up with music artist Jaunty to shoot some video for a new mayamada project. Spring hadn’t quite hit London yet but Jaunty was out in his “When A Plan” tee as we spent the morning filming.
Check out Jaunty on Bandcamp for his latest tracks and stay tuned for the final video in the coming weeks.
We’re almost there! We’re so close to the launch of the Samurai Chef Kickstarter and we’ve got a double hit for you with two new characters that will feature at some point in the story.
We took a trip around Camden with LP of StarlightPhonics, shooting video and stopping off at every shop that caught our eye. There are always new surprises to check out.
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!
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.
With summer done, we’re turning our attention to the run up to Christmas with some new mayamada designs.
From October, you’ll be able to preorder products from our new line of designs and colour ways across t-shirts and sweatshirts.
Stay tuned for more details on upcoming preorders and an in-store event. Until then enjoy a glance at the new line.
A brand new mayamada website is coming Monday May 6th.
Look out for it this Bank Holiday along with a Bank Holiday promotion.
What’s more, the new Samurai Chef manga book and t-shirt will both be available for purchase. Stay tuned…
You’ve seen the preview, and now the books have been printed. That’s right, the Samurai Chef manga is complete and first run copies now available for order!
It was a long road and we want to say a big thank you to everyone who supported us while putting this together over the last six months.
Now we can’t wait for you to see what’s inside.
The Samurai Chef Volume 1 will be available on the mayamada website in early April.
But you can get your copy early by getting in contact with us before that.
In case you missed the comic preview over Christmas, you can still check it out right here:https://www.mayamada.com/samurai-chef-preview
And if you liked the first few pages, please take a moment to thank our artist Pinali on Twitter (@Pinalinet) for her amazing work on the Samurai Chef comic.
This week will be of special interest to backers of the Just Desserts perk as we can now reveal the New Samurai Chef t-shirt design made specially for the project.
The design features the, err…watchful…face of the Samurai Chef alongside the bold lettering “Samurai Chef” in Japanese.
It’ll be available in both men and women fits and be on your way along with the book itself. Expect an email in your inboxes soon asking for preferred sizes before we make the print run next week.
For those that didn’t select this perk but are wishing they did, we’ll be making a limited run of the t-shirt and will have some left for purchase.
We’ll let you know the details of how to get them in the coming weeks, but you will have to be quick! Once it’s gone it will be gone forever.
We’re very close to the end now we can taste it…no pun intended!
See you again soon with more updates ahead of the book’s release.
So…world didn’t come to a screeching halt after all.
That’s great because we’re still working away on the Samurai Chef book and it would be a shame if we never got to finish it 🙂
In our last update we saw three different pets that were to become extras in the show and this week we can reveal the completed transformations!
Firstly we have our two cats Shiro and Kuro.
And last but not least we have the goldfish Diamond.
All three of these characters are being drawn into the show as we speak and will be seen when the book is finally release.
We’re now about a month away from the artwork for the being completed. Don’t forget that we will have a 15 page preview on Christmas Day too.
On our next update we will be able to show off the Samurai Chef t-shirt design that will be going backers who selected the “Just Desserts” perk.
See you then ^_^
