Back from Rainfurrest
15 years ago
General
Wow, I haven't felt exhausted like this in a long time. Even when I attended last year, and even attend some other anime cons, I didn't feel as exhausted as I did coming home this year from Rainfurrset. I feel it was partially I was over prepared and under prepared all at the same time. Plus hauling my art supply up and down the hill from the Hilton hotel to the Marriott hotel psychically drained me. Which it all weighed about over approx 150 lbs.
So how did I do? Well... I can fully assure myself that anime cons and furry cons are almost night and day. So far the anime cons I've attended to are mostly selling prints yet a few sketches and other trinkets. Where as furry cons are selling more badges and sketch / ink commissions. So, being my first time dealer I knew I wouldn't make much money, but my main plan for this year is more publicity.
I've learned a lot just about being a dealer instead of watching them, and I've learned why some dealers price the way they do. However I still maintain my philosophy of being honorable to my guests. Plus, I hate the feeling of owing people commissions or the feeling of turning people down.
So thank you for all whom stopped by and said hello to me at my table. And an extra thank you for all those whom bought some commissions from me.

OP
I am definitely going to be there next year, and I am already planning on to be a dealer again. Hopefully with a ton more updated arts, and less luggage to haul around too. ^^;
