Do you want to read my con report?
17 years ago
Here it is, such as it is.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the table, whether to buy stuff or just say hello. I've managed to commit a few more faces with names to memory for next year! I hope.
Um, my report is pretty boring. Sales were down. I sold a lot of Okami commissions and I don't know how I would have done if I hadn't had those available. They were super fun though, and I will offer more in the future! I worked much slower than I have at previous cons, but the quality was higher than before. I ended up with more homework than I would have liked, but again, the quality was higher than before. Now if only I can get my speed up to snuff!
Art show was awesome. I had a lot of cheap stuff, mostly prints, and "Pint Sized" sold. Nobody bought a print of the piece though! True, I only had the larger 40 dollar prints available so that could have thrown people. Again...the economy blows and everyone is feeling it. I do have leftover pieces that I will pop up on Furbuy later, when I have time to list things.
I am working on my homeworks right now. Honestly, taking sketchbooks and badges home makes for better art as much as I dislike being responsible for others belongings. Less stress, better work.
The Wing Panel!!! It was different working with Nam. We didn't get around to a lot of actually drawing the wings, we talked a LOT about the science of the wing, what its doing and why. We did have a LIVE red tail hawk come to the panel. Some of you at the con may have see her and her human around. It was so awesome to have dead birds, a live bird, and Nam there with me. We work together well. I did get asked how to draw a seagull. I replied by drawing a big "M". >:}
Um, after the con I went to Timberwolf's cabin in the woods to see the pack again with Sidian. Going back there again Sunday! Woofmutts are love.
SO. About commissions: I am finally back on my feet financially AND I am finished with a project that ate my soul and time AND frantic con prep is over. With all that stress out of the way and a good cushion, I feel much more at ease getting my homework and the overdue pieces I have on my plate.
Thank all of you again for supporting my work! All of you who got something from me...thank you. Seriously. I am still glad to do this for a living and be able to do so without drawing porn.
Sheath and bawls are always fine though. :3

And so is your art.
And get out of my damn shower already! Yer using up all the hot water! Just cuz you helped me fix my plumbing doesn't give you a free ride! Ok, maybe it does... Enjoy that pizza and beer while you can. I will send out more bugs for you to inhale momentarily.

So glad I was able to sped so much time with the pack. I really got a feel for them, literally, and it's already reflected in some sketches I've mooshed out. The depth of the underjaw, the texture of the fur, the expression in the face...its all understood just a bit more! Not perfect, but better. Elko was a huge help of course. When he is full grown, he's gonna be the ULTIMATE WOLF REFERENCE. And I guess I will be the ultimate wolf chew toy.
