Meet Sean Carlson: 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.

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 January 10th. 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.
WHERE DO I PARK: Self-parking at the hotel is FREE!
WHAT WILL THE ARTIST DO? Sean Carlson will be signing and adding original hand embellishments/highlights to all of his 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 Autographs is Sunday at 3:30 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? 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.
