2021 Artist Alley Prep pt. 1 | First Time Comic Con Booth

🙃 ello
I survived my first Artist Alley experience at the Fan Expo Denver 2021
This is a vlog style video of my prep for this event. I show how I make my waterproof stickers, how I build and decorate my table, some footage from the convention, and share insight along the way from all the research I did prior.
I hope you learned something?
Questions from this video are:
What were you for Halloween?
Have you been to a convention? if so, what was your experience like?

I appreciate your posting your artist alley experience. I live vicariously through these types of videos. lol I absolutely bombed when being in artist alley for the first and only time about four years ago; so watching and learning from other people is great. Keep learning, growing, and hopefully sharing your experiences! Cheers

[@zacurragazzo9432]

Luckily my town has a local art event every month that is very helpful for beginner artists both financially and tolerability, I’m very fortunate to have the opportunity and I’m also very fortunate to have KZbin videos like these to help me get started :)

[@IamtheYaki]

Aww thank you! Good luck on Vending to you!

[@okashiad6930]

Watching all these videos on sticker making has made me decide to just get a silhouette lol. Seems like a lot of people have issues with the Cricket especially with vinyl.

[@aemdesigns3746]

Love this! I haven’t worked up the gumption to sell at a big event like that, only in my town.

[@IamtheYaki]

You should!

[@GriffinStitches]

Thanks for sharing! Though I had my headphones on and legit had a pavlovian response to the CHA-CHING and checked my phone, lmao

[@IamtheYaki]

lolol! That's great :)

[@candibloxham3428]

Thanks for the vid, really useful. Can you do one on sticker making?

[@IamtheYaki]

Of course! Do you have any specific questions for the video?

[@ChoasIncarnate_]

[@allymonville6491]

How many marketplace/cons do you do a year? I'm just kinda starting out and I'm doing my first marketplace in a couple weeks. I'm super nervous 🤣🥴

[@IamtheYaki]

Congratulations! I do about 1-2 a month. I am lucky that here in Denver there are lots of markets. You got this also! I wish you luck :)
