Like many others, I'm headed for MidWest FurFest this weekend. Not as a Dealer or Artist, but as a Buyer. More specifically as a Commissioner -- meaning I plan to spend a lot of the convention going around Artists' Alley and the Dealers' Den requesting, paying for, and picking up artwork. I've developed a process for it and can clear a lot of art in three days. The biggest problem is always preparing my references and descriptions, with the second being coordinating all those kits and sketchbooks with the varying artist paces and my own funding (which this year may be a little tighter than usual).

So all you artists, stay alert!
