Want to Learn More About Lucky Cat Market?
Justine is the owner and founder of Lucky Cat Market, she grew up watching animes such as Tokyo Mew Mew, Soul Eater, and Bleach. Justine would often draw her favorite characters from the animes she watched. In 2012 she attended her first convention, Youmacon, an anime convention in Detroit.
While she was at the convention she noticed people were selling art at the convention in a dedicated area known as the Artist Alley.
Growing up Justine was deciding what she wanted to do and spent 4 years persuing photography but ultimately did not see herself persuing it as a career.
In 2019 she began to draw again and was reminded of the people in the Artist Alley who would sell their art. A spark was lit and she began putting all her effort into becoming one of those artists.
She created Lucky Cat Market and later in 2021 got accepted into DokiDoKon, A Kalamazoo based convention. She was inspired and felt like she found what she wanted to do.
Since then Lucky Cat Market has sold her merchandise and many cons from small local cons like Otaku U, A anime convention put together by students at SchoolCraft College of Livonia, MI. To even the largest anime convention in the United States, Anime Expo, which is held in Los Angeles, CA.
She even like to vlog her time at some of the conventions she attends, here you can see her vlog from her visit to 2025's Anime Expo.
Lucky Cat Market began with selling stickers but has since expanded into selling enamel pins, charms, bags, and her most recent focus, plushies. She is always expanding and rotating her offerings to keep her business fresh for people who visit her at conventions or at her online storefront.
She currently offers around 90 enamel pins, 30+ plushes, an assortment of bags, and a variety of stickers.
