We’re Westost, a designer duo based in East London. Ken is an illustrator, and Miriam is a screen-printing artist.
Together, we create unique, handmade, limited-edition screen prints and apparel inspired by Japanese pop culture.
We’re also passionate collectors of anime figures and import rare figurines from Japan to offer to fellow collectors at our convention stalls. We’ve been on our Westost adventure since 2015, running stalls at MCM Comic Con, Hyper Japan, Japan Expo, the Satanic Flea Market, and many more events.

how it all began:
ken draws miriam a comic every evening (since over 15 years and ongoing)
so one day she asked him to create an artwork with all their favourite cartoon, manga, anime and comic heroes.
the operation took several months as the list seemed to never end.
when ken was finally done, the artwork counted over 200 characters and turned out to be quite cool.
we asked a local screen printer to print us our first "cartoonist manifesto" tees.
that was the birth of westost!
a few months later we had designed a second shirt "wonderful villains" and decided to book our first stall at mcm london comic con.
we've since set up a small home studio, have learned how to screen print, have been running stalls at different conventions and markets and have met a lot of amazing people on the way!
