I survived my first Anthrocon
14 years ago
And I would totally do it again, just as we did it! This was again a major learning experience and I have figured out what sells, what I can accomplish at my table, and will definitely limit the number of things behind my table art making wise.
Snake charmer pendants were a big hit, not completely overwhelming, but I made some sales, got some custom orders, and lots of compliments. I think I will name them dragonskin pendants in the future, who knows, thoughts anyone?
I made SOOOooo much money and that is a huge thanks to Lagarto. I have essentially purchased his laminating franchise, which seems to be a huge relief off his shoulders. I can't speak for him personally, but I think he was absolutely correct his leather business keeps him far too busy to maintain the laminating business, and I must say I am eager to find myself equally busy in the future.
Sooooo Lagarto Laminations are no more, Sssage needs a business name for the furry world. Herpaintology is great at reptile breeder shows, but the pun seems completely lost on the furry world.
Taking a huge tip from D, and I am getting a proper tote that the union teamsters can't break (yep they broke stuff). Also totally table splitting with lagarto in the future, I like his idea of getting a couple more tables so we can spread out and stuff :) I also agree with rukis, if I want to sell anything in the art show I need more dog penis

If you have bookmarks left you could probably throw those into the lot too. It looks like we'll have five of us between two tables, but Van and I will be spending a few hours face painting (which will pay for a portion of the tables, I'll tell you about it in email) so you might be at the sales table with one or both of the other two who are coming with us.
Hey, how do you reg for a tax number?
Can't wait until we meet again, hopefully the attention i brought your way helped... it made me squee to see my badge used for your advertising.
Yay Cons! May they forever more be worth the effort.
January - FC
June - AC
September - RF
November - MFF
The other cons, you will do about 15-30 pieces. FWA varies. I still think you should do something clever with my old signage, signaling the transition :)
Enjoy!
and it's ectothermic, thanks very much ;)
As a fellow scaly, I know that my blood runs HOT when the time (and location) are right...
This is at 25% scale, let me know if you'd like a 300dpi version...
