AMPW Pop-Up Shop Prep

Just started preparing stock for the KK Outlet x Amos pop up shop as part of the forthcoming Amos Miniature Plastic Workshop. There'll be a bunch of stuff that has never before been available outside of Japan. I didn't realise how much we'd managed to accumulate for this. This is just a taster!

There's a nice surprise coming too. More news soon.

New tees available now.

JJ and Will Sweeney at Heavy Pencil

A couple of weeks ago, Will Sweeney and I took part in the Heavy Pencil drawing extravaganza that took place as part of the Pick Me Up graphic art fair at Somerset House in London. We appeared at the kind invitation of the supremely talented Andrew Rae. 

You can see more pictures here. 

Special thanks to Rob Green for the musical accompaniment.

The Second Amos Miniature Plastic Workshop

We are pleased to announce that Amos will join with KK Outlet who will host the next Amos Miniature Plastic Workshop, in London's Hoxton Square.

The format will differ slightly to the Tokyo event as this one will continue through most of May.

We are still finalising exactly what we will be happening but we will definitely show some of our classic vinyl and plastic figure work, on display together for the first time in the UK.

Shipping permitted, we hope to have the large format five foot Caleb's on show for photo opportunities, probably for the last time as at least one of them has already been purchased and will be provided with a permanent home straight after the event.

James will have a side gallery of A4 (and a couple of A3) drawings which will be offered for sale, another rare opportunity as with the popular online gallery from a few years back.

And there will be an Amos pop up store selling branded products, one or two hard to find imported items, a few other Amos favourites, and the odd surprise.

More information soon.

Events in Japan

Like everyone one else we are shocked and moved by the scenes and reports that have come out of Japan since the devastating earthquake last Friday.

Some of those who read our posts will know we have many good friends in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan. Thankfully, from what I have heard so far, they and their families are all well and doing their best to get through these terrible days.

Our thoughts are with all our friends there and the other people of Japan. We very much hope that things settle soon and they can actually begin to deal with horrors of the last few days and start the process of healing and reconstruction.
