My name is Nick, also known as NikuSenpai online. I’m thrilled to apply for a spot at Anime North 2025! As an artist and founder of SenpaiSauce, showcasing my work at one of Canada’s most celebrated conventions would be an incredible milestone for me.
I’m an American artist who has been exhibiting at anime conventions across the U.S. for over 10 years. Last year, I expanded my reach to Canada and have since participated in Otafest (Calgary), Animethon (Edmonton), and the Toronto Game Expo. These experiences have been incredible opportunities to connect with Canadian fans, gain exposure in a new market, and see how my art resonates with audiences here. I’ve been especially touched by the number of Canadian fans who have discovered my work online and then visited me at these shows—it’s been both humbling and inspiring.
At Anime North, I’m excited to showcase an updated lineup of new artwork, prints, and merchandise, including apparel and mousepads that fans have requested at past conventions. I aim to create a welcoming and vibrant booth that captures the energy of my art while adhering to all event guidelines, including those for NSFW content.
It’s been such a joy to connect with the Canadian convention community, and I’m eager to bring my work to Anime North for the first time. Thank you so much for considering my application. If there’s any additional information I can provide, I’d be happy to share.
Warm Regards,
Nick Silva
