What’s Up #12: Silas and Maria

Just in case you were wondering what Silas and Maria [silasandmaria.com] were up to on their recent sabbatical in Japan here’s a few pics of their recent range that, for the first time, was not available outside Asia. Meanwhile Russell, the big man at Silas, has tag teamed with James Jarvis [studiojarvis.com] on the expension of the Amos Toys brand [amostoys.com], with Tshirts, zines, a blog [amostoys.blogspot.com] and new characters to come. Much of this Amos newness is also exclusive to Japan but (touch wood) it looks like that’s just a temporary arrangement. Phew! Silas illustrator Will Sweeney [bigactive.com/will-sweeney] has recently produced a new print for the Medicom Life Entertainment range too, it’s called ‘Jungle Hop’ and you can see it here [medicomtoy.co.jp/life].
