This historic collector's item-generating first appearance will be made at none other than Anime Expo 2008! (Held at the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 3rd to July 6th.) The biggest anime-themed convention in the United States, Anime Expo draws an average of 40,000 people and deviantART will be there to support our community and the art of anime in all its forms.
We expect to see as many of you as possible, but don't be mistaken; this convention is not just for die hard anime fans. Lovers of art, cosplay, manga, and deviantART in general will all be present. Anime Expo offers perfect opportunities for socializing, portfolio critiques, collectible buying, and so much more.
Over the next few weeks we'll be announcing our very own programming schedule, contests, artists and special guests. This is going to be a big event, so plan now and keep an eye out for updates!
