Featured Artists

Shinnosuke Uchida When self-taught artist Shinnosuke Uchida first presented her work to her favorite manga publisher, they rejected her retro style. Though broken-hearted, not only didn’t she give up, she went big by becoming the world’s only wall- manga live paint artist. Since then she has been invited outside Japan to live paint in Spain, Russia, Italy, Germany and now for the first time in the U.S. at Anime Expo. In partnership with Tokyo Direct (Japanese pop artist collaborators), Uchida will live paint and sell her original T-shirts, designs and other goods.

Jared Yamahata Jared Yamahata is an artist and illustrator living in Pasadena. Jared often uses pop culture references and graphic design to create fun and witty images. His style has allowed him the privilege to work with such as brands as FOX Sports and FORBES Spain. In addition to freelance illustration, Jared also loves participating in local communities and organizations to develop public artwork, most recently Sustainable Little Tokyo’s “Windows of Little Tokyo” and Nisei Week. Anime Expo 2019 is Jared’s first year working with the convention and he is very excited to share the community’s passion for anime.
