Meet <a href="https://www.seancarlsonart.com/" title="https://www.seancarlsonart.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sean Carlson</a>: Born and raised in New York where he has been creating and studying art for his entire life. As a freelance artist Sean is self-taught in a wide variety of traditional mediums, ranging from charcoal, to colored pencils, to acrylic paint, sometimes all on the same piece. Through traveling the comic convention circuit for nearly a decade, his work is owned by some of the most famous names in the industry, including Tom Hiddleston, Oscar Issac, and much of the cast of the animated X-men series, including the voice of Wolverine, Cal Dodd. By keeping a wide array of influences, Sean’s work runs the gamut of many different styles; from photorealism, to expressive, to the entirely abstract, all in order to give the viewer a sense of something they have never seen before. Artist Sean Carlson will be signing all of his purchased artwork and will add original embellishments/highlights to his purchased prints turning your print into a one-of-a-kind original at no additional charge.

(1) VIP TICKET FOR $15 gets you 1 free premium VIP print of your choice. There are typically about 50-60 print options to choose from ranging from different fandoms. Each premium print is sold at the event starting at $40. You also receive 1 hr early admission to the event before the doors open to the general public allowing you to skip the lines &amp; meet the voice actors/artist &amp; see the art first without the crowds. Lastly you will receive two of the 9"x12" prints of your choice (these are in addition to the prints you receive for sharing the event on social media).(2) VIP TICKET FOR $30 gets you all the perks of the $15 VIP ticket + 1 additional 12"x16" premium print which includes several options of the actor's character. These actor prints are also sold at the event starting at $40 but are NOT offered as options for the $15 VIP print. Please note actor autographs are NOT included in these VIP options &amp; instead are purchased at the actor's booth.

These are all the same event! We are limited in the amount of characters we can type in an event title. Since our event encompasses: Anime, Game, Horror, Marvel, DC, Disney, Star Wars, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter &amp; Lord of the Rings, this is simply too long to put into an event title. To make it easier and in order to reach fans of each theme, we have created separate events for these themes but keep in mind, it is all the same event.THIS EVENT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS A LEGITIMATE EVENT? We encourage you to Google us at "amazing art expo" where you will see many updates, reviews, etc. We have over 51,000 followers on Facebook, 21,000 on Instagram and have been in business since 2016. We have hosted over 100 events during that time.WHAT WILL THE ARTIST DO? The artist will be signing and adding original hand embellishments/highlights to all of their purchased canvasses turning them into one-of-a-kind originals at no charge. This adds $200 value to your canvas!IS THIS EVENT COMPLETELY FREE? Yes, everyone is free to attend and no purchase is necessary. Autographs and paint embellishments by the artist are free.HOW DO I GET AN AUTOGRAPH FROM THE VOICE ACTORS? Autographs may be purchased at the event (voice actor's booth) using cash, credit card or Apple Pay. Last Call for Voice Actor Autographs is Sunday at 4:30 pm. There will be other options as well to upgrade your signature to include larger prints, Funkos, swords, statues, quotes/doodles, voice/video recording, selfies, etc. Those prices will be determined at the event itself. You may bring to the event your own product(s) to be signed including print(s), Funkos, swords, etc. Remember, this is also a pop culture art expo and there will be lots of super cool prints relevant to the voice actor available to purchase at the event. We encourage you to take a look at the art show first before getting in line with the voice actors. If you plan to purchase autographs, we recommend you also purchase a VIP ticket since it allows you 1 hour early access to the voice actors before the doors open to the public, at which time the lines can get lengthy.ARE KIDS ALLOWED?
