Meh, all this AC stuff is getting me bummed.
18 years ago
Not because I'm not going (I'm hard enough pressed to go to MFF, not sure I would even want to go to AC to be honest), but because it just reminds me that it's been over a year since I started looking for a printer and distributer and all three fell through, either through complete lack of contact, or in one case a rather spectacular crash and burn in the long run. Still no luck. I can't even find anyplace I can bring my art to to get printed (the adult stuff, that is) to store and market myself. My own printer sucks, and I wouldn't run it off at home unless I had a laser anyway (too expensive) because I hate ink-jet quality unless the printer is as good (and thus as expensive) as a laser.
As such I'm completely at a loss as to what tack I'm going to take at MFF. The absolute last thing I want to do is plop down in artists alley, never see the con, and just churn out sketchbook drawings (especially since I could never charge for anything like that in a million years, since my line art either comes nowhere close to anything else I do, or it takes so long I'd be booking a hotel room to draw for three people). If I did artist's alley, it would be with prints, and doodling for nothing (because it WOULD be doodles, silly stuff for friends and the like, or for people who want to plant their tail and hang for a few while I sketch them and hand their book back); I'd do this because very few people would want their time wasted with a doodle so we all win that way. But with no prints, it's not even worth my time to sit down. So now I'm wondering if I should just leave all the arting stuff at home period.
On the third hand though, I'm going there to see my brother and his mate more than anything, and they'll be doing con stuff, and the "we're perfect furs, learn to be like us" panels have no interest for me; so I'm back to watching DVD's in the room. Then it's a matter of why am I even going.
Ah well. Have fun at AC, everyone.

Laser printers *Sigh* Ultra high end... ultra high price tag.
Not my bag either.
Why? Because it's to damn far, and I hate planes...
I don't like driving through states. So, that means no AC for me ever. ^^
FC is near me, I'll go there insted.
But hey, I hope you get your printers in order.
... he needs to UNmove away.
Sorry, I'm stuck without even a scanner to share my love with the intranet :0(
XD last time i printed of my work at the 2d computer art class I had...
I miss abusing that printer... it got recalibrated everyday... also the computer screens where fixed everyday.... god bless my teacher...
I don't know... it's bad to stick yourself down during a con unless it's to your advandage...
I think my friends didn't mind swapping a table between 4 friends to keep it occupied but everyone got lots of roam time....
I don't know.... Buy me a ticket and i'll hold the table while you got find a printer to steal XD
