We believe everyone is creative so seeing people express what creativity means to them for our 2016 #BeCreative campaign has been amazing! We’ve spoken with everyone from professionals to students, illustrators to cosplayers, and the diversity in creative talent is great to see.
Be A Creative Character
As the co-founders of mayamada, a Japanese inspired character brand, we’ve naturally got big ideas on creativity. We believe everyone is creative but not everyone realises it. We want that to change!
#BeCreative 2016 Campaign Sneak Peek
Last year we launched the #BeCreative campaign with the goal of inspiring and developing creativity in young people. Things got off to a great start with the support of 24 illustrators who expressed what creativity means to them through fantastic artwork. It even got featured on London Live TV!
Illustrators: What Does Creativity Mean To You?
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.
#BeCreative Campaign Launch
At mayamada, we passionately believe in the power of creativity to make the world a more productive, engaging, and fun place to be. That belief was the motivation behind our #BeCreative campaign that launched this month.
#BeCreative Charity Drive
We’re excited to announce our new creative charity drive for the festive season! At mayamada we passionately believe in the power of creativity to make our world a more productive, engaging, and fun place to be.
So we’re supporting creativity as well as a great cause this December with a fantastic artistic movement!
Cosplayers: What Does Creativity Mean To You?
London Comic Con is fast approaching and that means a ton of great cosplayers will be gathering in east London for the biggest comic convention in the UK.
This month mayamada is making a return to Comic Con and to mark the occasion we’re bringing you another round of interviews with a fantastic group of cosplayers. Our first cosplayer interview feature included all UK artists, this time we’re adding an international flavour with six cosplayers from different parts of the globe!
Capture Every Creative Moment
If you’ve been following mayamada you’ll know that we believe in the power of creativity to make things better, and more fun too.
That’s why we’re happy to announce the release of our new “Be Creative” range of mayamada notebooks!
Cosplayers: What Does Creativity Mean To You?
We’ve enjoyed talking to different artistic professionals about creativity in our new blog series. So far we’ve spoken to illustrators and musicians to get a better idea of what makes them tick creatively.
mayamada @ StreetFest 2015
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!
Along with us were a bunch of great brands including High Spirit Bags, 4649 Clothing, Flye Clothing, See:Saw Clothing and our neighbours for the day Kam Creates and Kelleys Deli.
We also got a chance to discover new brands on the day including Ricalyce, a brand making quality snapback caps.
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.
And food..did we mentioned the food?
We’re already excited to return to Tobacco Dock for next year’s event. Stay tuned…
