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.

• Anime Expo (2022, 2023 Annex)
  
• San Diego Comic Con (Upcoming July 2026)
• Wondercon
