More samples rolling in… and I’m happy with how they look! You know what this means don’t you? Sorry it’s taken a while but we’re ready for the Bread and Butter Show and you can expect the Ami James Ink line to be available in no time.

We’re starting to get some of the samples on the shelves and organizing the displays to get ready for the arrival of the new line.

The ami-james.com 2011 photo competition kicks off today!
Prizes from the NEW Ami James Ink line will be given away to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.
In case you missed it… take a look at the results from the last photo competition to get an idea of what to expect.
The theme is “Contrast” – light and shadow are elements used by all artists including photographers. Simply put – I’m looking for photographs that speak through contrast.
It’s simple. All posts to the Ami James flickr group tagged “amijamesink” between today, Jan 3rd and Jan 28th will automatically be accepted into the competition.
