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!  Read more... (748 words, estimated 3:0 mins reading time)
