Are you ever curious what sells the best at anime conventions, especially the largest one in North America, Anime Expo? I spent the weekend selling as an artist in the artist alley, and managed to ask a whole lot of fellow artists about their best selling products, and why it might be doing well this year in 2026. Quickly navigate to an artist’s segment using the timestamps below that I’ve helped chart up for you guys!

Stay tuned next week for my artist alley vlog of this show!
This video would not be possible without my friends and helpers at my booth @kwoo.jii (Kayla) and @onzispace (Sid).
**Disclaimers:
I only asked artists if they had a helper/was not busy and tried not to distract them from sales, I asked artists across all four different days, hence why my outfits changed, which can skew some answers.
