My work mixes 90’s influence with what’s hot now. I focus on 3D-printing pop-culture pieces; anime, Disney, superheroes, Pokémon, all of it. I keep the designs solid and straightforward, the type of stuff people recognize right away and want to take home.
I’m an illustrator and character designer with a love for fun, colorful artwork!
My work that I’m bringing to this event is based on fan-favorite franchises such as Kirby, Sonic, One Piece, shows from Cartoon Network, and more! You’ll be able to have art featuring your favorite characters on high-quality art prints, vinyl stickers, and pin buttons.
I’m also bringing free art prints featuring my original characters, so you’ll have a taste of my original work!
Eco-spiritual/ whimsical fantasy artist who expresses emotions through bold colors others can feel. Nature, women and fantasy are at the core of my acrylic paintings, but I also enjoy creating fanart of powerful anime characters in a colorful pop art style. My 15 year art collection is available in prints, stickers, enamel pins and an oracle card deck – alongside handmade crafts and original paintings.
Throughout my life, I’ve had an interest in the more underrated pieces of media, more specifically from the 2000s. I have a great fondness for nostalgia and the overall aesthetic of the times I grew up in. Although there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the more popular things, as I do enjoy some of them too, I’ve always loved talking to people about the things that I rarely see anyone know about. That all being said, all my art and merchandise are made to meet people who like anything and everything! I will always make art of more popular media, but my specialty is the art involving media that I grew up with and media I currently enjoy that isn’t often spoken about, art that I want to make for others who wouldn’t have expected to see any content of.
Holis! I’m demonimoni, a Puerto Rican artist based in Florida making kitschy and playful art that doesn’t take itself too seriously. My work is full of personality and whimsy inspired by pop culture, nostalgia, and the little absurdities that make life fun. I make art for the oddballs out there just trying to make life a little less boring.
Spend the day cosplaying, dancing, gaming, meeting local artists, and making new friends under a canopy of trees at Kendall Indian Hammocks Park in Miami, Florida.

What is Anime in the Park all about?
That feeling you get when you find a new town in an old school JRPG, or when a traveling adventurer group finds a cool city in a manga or an anime… that’s what we’re creating.
The framework revolves around a marketplace of local artists who have their original wares for sale. By the way, we stand firm against the use of AI, and will permaban anyone caught trying to sell AI slop. We also feature a few vendors selling retail items. Branching out from there, this year’s event offers three shelters that will house panels, gaming and main events. Under those shelters, expect a wide variety of entertainment and interactive fun. There’s a little something for everyone. Also, one of the more unique elements of Anime in the Park is Theme Camps, which offer interactive art and events in a themed environment. In the parking lot area we will have food trucks, and possibly Itasha cars.
At the core, we’re simply building a space for cosplayers, weebs, nerds, geeks, normies and everyone to feel safe and hang out for the day. Take away all the programming, all the events, all the hype, and you’re left with something that’s honestly the most important element… community. Anime in the Park is an effort to breathe life back into a world that has become cold and disconnected. Just show up and be yourself. You will find a network of people who accept you as you are. This is the whole point.
We are currently processing applications for artists, vendors, panelists, theme camps, etc. and will update the website as they are confirmed. Register now to be a part of the show!
