GENERAL CONVENTION INFORMATION
The MEME to end all MEMEs for cons...

How can I find you?
I typically wear aqua, orange, or yellow at conventions. I'm 5'3'', a pudge-muffin, half shaved head and look like average. My hair is dark brown and dark blue.

What do you sell?
Stickers! Enamel pins, charms, prints, bookmarks, buttons, and other little things. I also do badge pre-orders and typically take 4-8 commissions at con as mom-time allows.

How are your con prices?
My prices are usually a bit less at cons, since online shops take a lot out of my profit margin.

Do you do take home art?
I usually try not to, but if my queue at home is empty I may, or if I am short on cash for the trip home. If I do it will be free US mailing, and no more than a loose paper sketch or badge.

How can I pay at cons?
Card mostly through square, or cash. I charge tax with card since I also have to eat card processing fees.

How can I contact you at con?
If you have a commission, I will likely give you my cell for text messages or my telegram iggiink or alstroarts

How are you like at cons?
I am usually very talkative or very tired. Now with kid in tow, I'm more smiles but just tired. I won't party, but I will look for occasional low-key art jams.

Can I buy you food?
No, I don't take food from people I don't know. Water may be an exception if it is an unopened bottle. I most likely have my own snacks.

Can I buy you stuff?
Sure, but I typically don't like gifts. I can't usually offer anything in return. I usually come to cons to make money as much as have fun. If I buy you something, or give it to you. I don't typically expect something in return beyond a hug. :p

Can I touch you?
Not without asking. If you know me on a real life first name basis, sure. I do not appreciate flirtatious advances, poly or not. In general I do like hugs but usually refrain so I don't get con crud and pass it off to my kid.

Can I go out with you and your mates/friends?
Only if invited. I usually am more keen on small groups of people I know.

What are your pet peaves?
People asking for my child's name, loud high pitch noises, unbathed people, those who are rough with my binders, those who leave my adult art binder open regardless of stickers, those who like to stand behind me when I work. I probably won't say anything if you do one of these, but you might get an angry look from it though most likely I'll ignore you till you walk away or be pretty terse.

Is there any ways I can help out?
Mostly, I'm usually with my husband or ultra-close friends and we take turns helping each other out with direct needs. You can help me out by making sure to know my name if you show off my work or merchandise so others can be directed. Alternately, giving out my business cards if you know someone is interested.

Do you do trades at con?
I like to, but take-home ones are preferred or trade 'pre-orders' are better! I love swapping badges or sketches in sketch books if you are a dealer or plan to work in the alley! At con trades may be more rushed, so the more planning the better. I do enjoy doing merch trades with other artists.
