Anthrocon Meme 2017

General
*Where are you staying?
Doubletree, as per the usual. Great staff, especially at the bar.
*What day are you getting there?
Monday? Sommat.
*How are you traveling?
By air!
*Who will you be rooming with?
My brother
carandaenor and his man.
*Who will you be hanging with?
My usual Artist Alley PiC
Midnightdraven and my GOOD friend
exturkconner. There are a few other people I'm counting on seeing, as well.
*How is the best way to find you?
Artist Alley, as per the usual.
*Are there any panels you might be attending?
Nope. Always open to recommendations, but Con-time is srs bsns time for me.
*What do you look like?
Bearded, mohawked(undecided on the colour for now), glasses, and likely wearing a college baseball shirt, as per the theme.
*Will you be suiting?
Nope. Just wearing shirts to support some of my favorite NCAA teams.
*Do you do free art?
Sorry no. Business trip and all. While the International flight and hotel costs mean I won't be making a profit, I DO still count on the monies I make at the con to keep my belly full of hot wings and beer.
*Do you do trades?
Doubtful. That feels more like an online thing.
*Do you do badges?
Time got away from me this year. So no.
*What is your gender?
Male
*How tall are you?
5'10"
*Can I talk to you?
By all means.
*Can I touch you?
...We're getting to that section in this meme that gets a little weird. I am open to a hearty highfive. I mean, I feel like I shouldn't have to say that random pokes or sommat just wouldn't be appreciated.
*Can I visit your room?
If invited, which isn't impossible. Had
renamon1983 and
minarabbit up last year for pizza and Cannibal the musical. It was delightful. We haven't locked in our feature for this year. I'd vote for The Devil's Carnival. But we'll still have to decide amongst ourselves.
*Can I buy you drinks?
This has YET to happen. Please, please, PLEASE, don't be shy. By me a drink.
*Can I give you stuff?
I cautiously say 'suuuuure.' But uh, let's not get weird with it.
*Can I hug or snuggle with you?
This is the question, right here. Who's genuinely asking this? Or wondering it? I don't know, I guess there are plenty of you lovelies out there that can get the admirers/creepers. This one just is not applicable to me. I will say, one year, after receiving their sketch commish, a customer asked if they could hug me. I AM a hugger and I was happy to oblige. So, for the hug, I reckon ask first. Snuggles are off the table though -- amazing at them, though I am.
*Are you nice?
I am ALWAYS professional, if not a total sweet heart. Again, going up to the "can I talk to you" question, please do! I LOVE and continue going to AC for that good ol' face time with you lovely people.
*How long are you going?
For the entirety of the con. So, whichever days those are.
*Do you have an artist table?
Technically, AC hasn't announced who got a table in the Artist Alley, yet. I believe that's the 16th? But uh, I pre-reg'd, and signed up for all three days. So... yes?
*Will you be going to parties?
I'm done with my 20s. My ability to party THEN, was legendary, I can assure you. Now, I look forward to spending the night in my nice hotel room, throwing a few back, eating a pizza, and watching some movies. IF something chill like that is going on in your room, and you'd like to give me an invite? Yeah, totes. But uh, beyond that? Not planning on it.
*Will you be performing?
Oh, this one reminds me, every year, I hear that karaoke happens somewhere. Okay, this might be my one "partying" exception. I MIGHT be down to do a little Karaoke'ing.
*If I see you, how should I get your attention?
If you shout (or say at a respectable, inside volume, within ear-shot) "Ferv!" "Daddyfox!" or "Fox!" I will answer to it, and likely direct my attention to the outcry. I can promise you though, I WILL be at Artist Alley. You can find me there, and just give me a good ol' "sup?" I really miss that here. "Sup" just doesn't translate. /sadface
*Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Ooooh, I never said "spoiler alert" previously. But uh... cat's outta' the bag. I will be in the Artist Alley.
*What/where will you be eating?
Okay, so there's this Thai place, right? It's like, this little hole-in-the-wall place. I've had it the last two years now, and hope, beyond hope that it never closes (The times we went, it was almost empty). So... I don't want to jinx it, but I will LOSE my $#!% if we don't enjoy some of the best Thai food I've EVER had.
...Seriously, like... okay for instance, I don't even like Icedtea, and they have this Thai Iced Tea? Oh man, it rocks my socks CLEAN off! Oh, and
midnightdraven is a REAL WeichesEi with heat. So it's a real treat seeing her eat something even a little hot. Anyway...
*Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
If invited, yes, which for that Thai place? Isn't hard to do. I try spreading the word big-time around the alley that this Thai place is legit.
*Can I take your picture?
Sure
*What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
This is a business trip to me, to be blunt. However, I do it because I enjoy making actual face-to-face time with people, and not just through the internet. And while during con hours, I'm all business, I'm getting better about making off-hours more fun. So, in general, I'm just lookin' at having a good time, just as with previous years.
*****
This concluded the meme, but while I've got you guys here, I would like to put it out there that the paper format I use for commissions, both illustrations and sketches, is A4. Please be sure that your folder or whatever you transport art in is A4 format. Sorry to be a bother, but European measurements, what can you do?
