20131005_MWCon2013_1147 (Medium)

In our efforts to expand the experience at this year’s Macross World Convention, we decided to add on an art show that would allow well known artists in the pop culture circuit to interpret the Macross Universe in their own unique style. This show featured some amazingly talented artists, who include Heejin Park, Maria Vitan, Cole Lemke, Mary J. Hoffman, Tou Vue, Sho Murase, Danny Doublin, as well as a few familiar names, Jerome Lu, Chito “KWESTONE” Arellano and Tracy Tubera.

Though many of the pieces sold at the show we do have a few left that is now available for those that couldn’t make it to the convention. Check out these artist’s pages and if you’re interested in any of the artwork, please email art.macrossworld@gmail.com to make a purchase. Each piece does come framed and ready-to-hang. Please be aware that prices do not include shipping.

Known to Macross fans as the voice of Lynn Minmay from the original series, Mari Iijima now lives in the U.S. as an accomplished musician, actress and advertising model. She has graced our convention before and as always we are very excited to have her return to perform and sign autographs. With the bigger venue this year, we are hoping that everyone will get a good view of her performance. But get your seat early, because it’s always a packed house when Mari starts to play.
