Oml in the clip you played of the crowd at 6:45 you can see my friends giant Mihawk sword 😂 He kept it raised up so I’d stop loosing him in the crowd bc of how short I am 💀 In other news I’m glad you enjoyed your time in NC! It was amazing getting to meet you and see your art in person.

Anywhere in the South isn't worth going to. I've experienced it and I'm never going back. They're all lookers. Your best bet for people to support and buy your art are ppl in the east, midwest, and west coast.

Yes! That venue is expensive AF because Miami freakin' Beach! Also parking is quite infamou$$$ there. You might want to consider GalaxyCon's Animate! 2025, which is going to be held where OtakuFest was last year. There's another Animate! in Orlando as well. Do check 'em out. Your level of work deserves good venues! And shout out to my table neighbor JohtoJax! Glad you caught him. He's an up-and-coming artist with great potential. Keep up the cool vids and never let down! Cheers!

Something I noticed in artist allies in the same state, if someone has been to my booth before and I didn't make enough new stock that it looks different enough, people will walk past. That's also why I've been traveling to neighbor states. Good luck!

I was there on the second day! The con was a lot of fun, but the table layout was definitely a bit cramped at times for some of the cosplayers wearing larger pieces (I was wandering half-blind in a TV head that day, not my best idea 😅). Overall though definitely had more fun at this year's con than last year, and the bigger venue was nice!

I have a question! When you pack orders how exactly do you put the customer's address? With a small label printer or possibly just using stamps???
@Lalaineartgeek29 күн бұрын
I have a label printer (Munbyn) that I currently use to print shipping labels! But if the order is super small and they're flat items, I would use an envelope w/ stamps instead. However, lately I've been worried about orders being lost in the mail so sometimes I would spend the few extra dollars out of my pocket to print shipping labels no matter the order size :)

I’ve had the same issue with my munbyn printer is normally a format issue and I’ve solved it by scaling down the design to a 80 ish percent. But I imagine the percentage varies from sticker shape so I’ll say play around with the scale and see what works.
@LalaineartgeekАй бұрын
I was thinking the same thing, scaling down the design so it can easily be separated on each label! Thankfully I have other labels to test so I’ll definitely experiment 🫶 thank you!!
