Anime Boston Artists

Anime Boston 2019 was awesome, and there was a ton of cool cosplay, official merchandise dealers, and also the great "artists' alley".

Here are a very few artists and a few merch dealers I thought were cool, missing many of the artists who were also cool just I didn't note them. I am overlooking so many cool works by people, I love the creativity... the dice people and die-rolling mats, the old console sellers, the videodisc sellers (so old school)... In no particular order:

Tea Fox Illustrations had a really cool Okami print I want to get.


Ruby Art had great red and black images, very striking, also some on metal. I really liked the Yin/Yang koi print.

Studio de Sade, incredible color palette and level of detail, and, Star Trek, Firefly/Serenity, and Dr. Who. I spoke with Nigel, very cool people there.

Nat Rodgers, who was awesome (we spoke, she of course has a great name) and I loved and was shocked by her chickadee print, with the chickadee saying, "I will end you." So innocent. Killer. I've bought a laptop sticker version of it from her online store.

Comiku, two awesome artists, from whom I bought a minimal print with poem in Japanese. I also liked their snow fox print, really lovely.

Alternate Universe Geeklectic, cool stuff (although I can't figure out their internet presence at the moment). Enjoyed talking with them.

Skimlines have some very cool ceramics but they do more than that.


Merch, ok yes artsy (some of these are hand-made) but IIRC not the artists' alley.
