For over 25 years, the artists' choice for books on illustration, animation and comic art
We exhibit at conventions and festivals large and small throughout the year. We've set up an 8-foot table display at Massive Black all the way to 500-square-foot mini-stores at both San Diego Comic-Con and Lightbox!
We are even invited by studios and schools to create pop-up shops on their premises.
You never know where we will show up!
We exhibit at these conventions and shows:

Our 400-square-foot pop-up shop in the center of the Illustrators and Fantasy Illustrators sections and Artist's Alley is the number one stop for hundreds of artists because they know we have "the best selection of art books at the entire convention." You can find us at Booth 5012.

October 25-27 2024 - Pasadena, CA
After years of holding workshops around the world, Bobby Chiu and the crew at Schoolism have teamed up with the creator of Emerald City Comic Con, Jim Demonakos, to bring to life an event that truly represented the art community - LightBox Expo!
LBX was conceived as a way to bring together the best artists in animation, illustration, live action and gaming industries under one roof for the ultimate celebration of art. A place where we can come together once a year to hang out, share our art with the public, meet other artists, further our skills and educate those coming up in our respective industries.
This event has passed. Come see us at the next event.
Keep in mind, we have a permanent physical location in Southern California--a bookstore, that you are welcome to visit five days a week all year around. Customers from all over the country and all over the world visit our store when they are in town. See every book on our website in one place.
