Due to a few artists who I greatly respect reviewing my work and pricing and consternation thereafter, my prices WILL be going up. I was going to do it a week after AC, but I wanted to warn everyone, in case you were thinking of getting anything, so the price jump should hit next weekend. The biggest concern my artist friends had were the badges, so they will be jumping the most but everything is going up some. Will post more progress, and shtuff soon. Cheers! Laura

A-Kon Report!

Soooooes…. for those of you that want to know how A-Kon went.
Well, I went into it knowing it was going to be a learning experience, it was my first Anime Con. Both to go to and to sell at (whee)! So didn’t really know what would sell best and what I should bring. So I prepped. By prepping I made magnets, got a new display for the magnets, which I tested at home, made prints of a lot of my originals, and added more originals to my book, made a new binders specifically for my skulklan work, as there got to be too much of it and I wanted to seperate it from my originals for sale binder, and ran off a lot of ACEO prints that I needed to have extras of. Oh, yeah, and I made stickers.
My First Convention! AKA Furry Fiesta 2010

Furry Fiesta in Addison was my first convention, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Though it does make me wonder why I didn’t start doing this sooner. I came both prepared and unprepared. I was ready to do badges… ish – MANY thanks to myenia for all her help and letting me borrow all the stuff I didn’t have, and to the fabulous person who let me buy some laminating sheets off of them on friday- I just didn’t take into account HOW important they were/what to bring. I was ready for sketchbooks. Didn’t have quite as many prints OR originals as I probably should have. And probably should have had some linework or graphite originals that could have been cheaper than the full color pieces I brough. I need to get a better setup for my pendants/charms/things so people know they are available. Also need to get the ACEO’s cut earlier next year. Had them cut out but never got a chance to finish them in time for the con, and didn’t have enough time at the con either. Met some WONDERFUL people most notably myenia and Lucky Kojak who were booth buddies there. Also a few people who I don’t know if they have DA accounts… so yeaaah. Forrest, Mouse, Mur, SailorAnne, Sisuke (sp?), Taigitsune, Jinx, Ivvy, Mitsu, Friend with the red collar, and the rest of you that I’m sure to have forgotten your names and would recognize you on site – Thanks for stopping by, for chatting, for the commissions. You all absolutely rock, and made my first convention an AMAZING ONE!
