Hello! I am Yoshi, an artist based out of San Diego, California.

I am a handmade artist that loves to incorporate parody and mashup art into my creations. Each piece is handcrafted, assembled and sewn by myself. I use fabrics purchased from various small businesses that commission artists for their fan art for commercial use. Some of the previous shows I have participated in include:

• Anime Expo & Anime Expo Chibi
  
• San Diego Comic Con (Upcoming July 2026)
• Wondercon
  
• Los Angeles Comic Con
• Kawaii Kon 
• Sakura Con 
• Fanime 
• Otakon
• Anime Los Angeles 
• Phoenix Fan Fusion 
• Dragon Con (Upcoming September 2026)

In addition to the social media links provided above, here are some still photos of my handmade process for one of my recent backpacks:
