MEET NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTIST Adam Michaels: a self taught traditional artist working primarily with ink and watercolor as well as other mixed medias such as acrylic paints, coffee and red wine. Adam travels and exhibits his art worldwide and has been featured in distinguished galleries such as Chicago’s Gallery F and Los Angeles’s Gallery 1988. Adam has been licensed and recognized by franchises such as Halloween, Ozark, Ghostbusters, Firefly and more as well created art and clothing lines for Ghost Adventures’ Aaron Goodwin. He has most recently worked with legendary rock band Creed, creating a poster for their 2024 comeback tour. Adam creates fine original art as well as pop culture fueled pieces which have been labeled “nerd art you can hang in your living room”. Bringing a modern, high end feel that is approachable by collectors and non-collectors alike and spanning all ages, Adam takes inspiration from both the light and dark of life as well as his love of a robust realm of pop culture including Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Stranger Things, Mortal Kombat and all things horror. Adam will be at the event all 3 days signing autographs & adding paint highlights/embellishments at no charge. These paint embellishments will make your canvas 1 of a kind original adding approximately $250 value to your canvas.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
WHY ARE THERE MULTIPLE EVENTS DISPLAYING A SIMILAR EVENT WITH THE SAME DATES AND LOCATION? 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 & 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.
HOW DO I GET MY FREE 9"x12" PRINT? SHARE this event on any of your social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, X etc.) by December 13th. Get another free print by liking and following our Instagram or Facebook page at amazingartexpo. Limit one free print per individual who shared on their own/separate social media & per individual who follows Amazing Art Expo's Facebook or Instagram page. When you check in at the event, use your phone to show proof you shared the event in order to get your free print. There are typically 4-7 different free print options to choose from featuring different fandoms.

WHAT WILL THE ARTIST DO? Adam Michaels will be signing and adding original hand embellishments/highlights to all of his purchased prints turning it into a one of a kind original 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.
ARE KIDS ALLOWED? This event is 100% Kid & Stroller Friendly!
ARE YOU ACCEPTING VENDORS OR ARTISTS FOR THIS EVENT? We are not accepting any vendors for this event. If you are an artist interested in working with us at future events, you may submit examples of your work to [email protected].
IS THERE ANY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) ART AT THIS EVENT? Absolutely NOT! All our art sold on our website and featured at our show was created by human hands and all made in the USA. We do not believe A.I. art is actually art and we stay firm with that decision.
IS PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED? You are welcome to photograph cosplayers, voice actors and the overall event and encouraged to share it with friends. However, Due to encounters of theft, attempts in converting the art via A.I. and/or unauthorized reproduction (bootlegging) of the artwork, our artists request no closeup photography of the art itself please. Out of respect for the artists, this rule is strictly enforced. All Amazing staff members would be happy to take a photo of the art for you in a manner where it cannot be reproduced so easily - just ask.
DO I HAVE TO COSPLAY TO ATTEND THE EVENT? No. Cosplaying is completely voluntary.
