Craig Watkins – Spotlights ON
Playing a show is something very private, intimate even. Each time you give a piece of yourself to your audience. But it also puts you in the spotlight. From one minute to the other you have to be ready to rock, even so you have no idea who will attend your show. Fans, friends, family, ghosts, monsters? On his cover, Craig Watkins, combines all those intense feelings of excitement, fear and adrenalin and he gave a piece of himself to AMOS. We definitely feel a big excitement about this cover.
Technique: ink, paint and some magic dust

Steak Zombies – Work in Progress
“‘Showtime is the time when most people would rather die. For some an addiction, for others panic. For everyone, it’s a challenge to come out and show the world everything you have (or you don’t have). Steak Zombies approaches the issue of self-exposure from the counter-phobic perspective asking ourselves what could be the ultimate embarrassment. At Steak Zombies we think people shouldn’t be ashamed of their bodies and the things their body produce. AMOS Showtime is an opportunity to celebrate that. Viva fertility! Congratulations you are alive! It’s Showtime!”
Established in Berlins Haus Schwarzenberg by Penelope Grabowski and Christoph Petersen, Steak Zombies moved to London in 2005 and is currently formed by Penelope and Daniel Kupfer from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Steak Zombies is an art project that blurs the boundaries of fashion, art and design. It is a reflexion into the art process and an invitation for people to take part. Steak Zombies established through a variety of medias such as plush dolls, accessories, costumes, cat walk performance, physical installations, illustrations and character design. Steak Studio is the kitchen where the commercial work of Dani and Penelope is cooking, have a look!

Tattoo Freestyle, Felix – Artwork Submission
Die Freude über die Vielzahl an hervorragenden Artworks ist so groß, dass man an die Decke springen möchte. Was dabei jedoch passieren kann, zeigt dieses Wahnsinns-Cover von Felix. Felix ist Tätowierer bei Tattoo Freestyle in Hamburg. Laut eigener Aussage ist das Ganze spontan und unter Zeitdruck entstanden, weil er so am besten arbeiten kann – und zwar mit Aerosol, Tusche, Marker und Drucker.
