Things change fast
But this too shall pass
Better carve it on your forehead
Or tattoo it on your ass

So, now that FC is over, I've had some time to reflect on how my table went this year. I made some really awesome connections, and I learned a lot. So I've decided I'm not going to go to Rainfurrest this year. Instead I am going to spend this year beefing up my portfolio and beefing up my table offerings.
So, since I'm forgetful and need to write everything down or I forget I've compiled a list of what I'm going to do and make to get ready to have a stronger more successful table.
-Spend the next three months in study. Focusing on drawing wild life from photos and by going to the zoo. Practice with realism using a combination of makers and colored pencils.
-Take that figure drawing class next semester.
-Compile a book of samples and originals, sell originals as "make offer"
-BUSINESS CARDS. So many people asked for them and I didn't have any to offer, this is bad. My aim is to make a double sided card, my art on one side, and starlight kigurumi (my kigurumi business) on the other. Give them out while in my Kigurumi as well as have some at my table
-Finish one or more portfolios ( I have two in the works and a third has a concept I'm toying with.) Ask artists who make portfolios if CDs or Prints sell better.
-Take Pre-orders for Con badges that match the convention theme
-Put art in the art show. I have paintings and drawings of wildlife that I have been meaning to put in the art show, I just need to actually do it this year.
-Have small premade things to sell. Like buttons, stickers, keychains.
-Collaborate with my table mate, stupidvamp on some stuff to sell and on what we'll each bring to our table
-Reserve our own dealers den table not affiliated with Sacfurs.
I've also decided to take the opportunity I've been given to spend more time at home, taking online classes and unable to work, to not only work on my art, but also to work on my music as well. However, I know that unless I have a rigid schedule to keep everyday I will NOT get anything done. So, I'm working on a schedule to keep to make myself stay focused. I'm also thinking about getting my office ready even before my doctor appointment in 14 days.

Either you will have put the art in the art show, or I fully expect you to be driving the BattleWheelChair of doom.
