Sorry I didn't really make a new journal until almost a week after the con (and just a couple days before NDK)
I lost internet here at the house because xfinity decided to do things. Supposedly itll be 'screamin' fast now.
Anyway! So this was my first year selling in the artist alley at a convention... and it didn't go...super well. I know it was my first time, and I wasn't sure wtf I was doing, but honestly I think it went so poorly- in terms of artist alley.
First off the con itself was great and exciting. Got there thursday night, got my badge friday morning (like, 15 before check in for the artist alley) and was off. I set up, had a banner which to me was exciting, and was all set up.
Well, the weekend went...not great. at least not from a selling standpoint for me. Im not blaming anyone, but to those who didn't go, the artist alley was separated from the dealer's den by... a lot it seemed. and the artist alley shared space with the headless lounge. It seemed like the only chance people saw us was by accident looking for the dealer's den or by going into the headless lounge. I wont lie being in there got me a chance to get a lot of fursuiter's pictures (SunnyDingo for one, Telephone for another) and several other's with super cute designs I'd never seen before.
Other than that, I was kind of disappointed. I know I didn't have any furry specific art, and my table didn't like, blow up or sparkle, but I was really hoping I'd sell a lot more than I did. Lot's of comments about lack of furry/feral art, or 'Im not gay but your art is cool'
So... yeah. Will I give up, no. Do I almost want to? Yes, but then again why give up after one try.
Do I hope that Denfur will listen to the comments, yes. Do I hope to get into the artist alley again with a little more to offer? absolutely.
To those who went and stopped by my table, thank you for coming by! If you bought something doubly thank you!
