Absolute magic how you got everything to fit in your car (in the rain no less!) 💫 Hope to see you at another con soon!!

[@drawnbyivy]

me 🤝 my tetris skills 🤣 always such a joy seeing ya!! see you again hopefully soon soon 🥹💕💕

[@im-venus]

Hi!! I was at ALA for the third day and I LOVED your booth! I made the dumb decision to come back to your booth before I bought anything (my friend was begging me to play Pokémon Go with him), so I couldn't remember the name of your booth 🤡 I hope to see you at ALA next year or at any other incoming conventions!!

[@drawnbyivy]

ahHHH THANK YOUUU 🥹💕 AA is HUGE so i don't blame you (i can barely remember where other artists' tables are and i was there all 4 days 😬) definitely planning on being back at ALA next year and you can often find me at other socal events ᵕ̈ hope you had tons of fun at the con!! ✨✨

[@StickerZooDesigns]

The spilled Vietnamese coffee is a tragedy frrrr!!! But so epic that someone gave you a new one!!

[@drawnbyivy]

truly a TRAGEDY 😭 i was so touched someone went out of their way to bring me coffee 🥺🤧

[@niikaneks18]

Omg I'm absolutely love everything you do but i loove the detail in the One Piece ribbon. Everyone goes in the same direction and then Zoro going wrong 🤣🤣💚👌🏻

[@drawnbyivy]

thank you so much!! i’m so happy you noticed that detail!! i designed it w/ Zoro running the opposite way on purpose LOOL typical Zoro behavior 🤣🤣

[@DvRelyt]

Loving the consistent content!!

[@uniandumi]

❤❤❤❤ love ur vlogs sm 💗😊

[@drawnbyivy]

thank you for watching!! ❤❤

[@That_Emily]

i feel like tote bags also sell well cause people end up with more to carry than expected so it feels like a very practical purchase

[@drawnbyivy]

i agree! people have definitely bought tote bags from me and immediately use them to carry their stuff around during the con 🙌

[@That_Emily]

@@drawnbyivy good advertising for you as well!

[@windrastudioarg]

when you cut your bangs i almost freaked out 😅great video!

[@drawnbyivy]

AHAHA i cut them so often at cons because i don't realize how long they've gotten until i'm spending 9 hours with them poking my eyeballs 🫣🫣 thanks for watching the video! 🫶

[@maroxby]

Love the setup! How did you stand up the keychain board off of the end of the table like that??

[@drawnbyivy]

I attached a mini easel to the back of the board with velcro! it's a bit unsteady tho tbh so i've since switched to an iPad stand ᵕ̈

[@Maelyrra_Art]

Glad the con was so successful! Solo vending seems so scary

[@drawnbyivy]

thank you!! 💕 solo vending can definitely be super stressful and overwhelming but like with anything, it becomes easier overtime! i'm definitely less stressed vending solo now compared to the first few times i did it!! 😤 i just tend to be vERY tired afterwards tho 😪

[@Maelyrra_Art]

@@drawnbyivy Ahhh that's good, guess it comes with the experience!! You're super inspiring, I can't wait to see more videos!! 💕

[@josepenaloza6713]

👏

[@sharonleungart]

Where did you order your ribbons? So cute!

[@drawnbyivy]

I got them from Marco promos (most vendors get their ribbons from here ᵕ̈ ) if you can find other artists to order with, i would recommend doing a group order so you can save some money as well! 😤

[@sharonleungart]

Thank you so much for the suggestion!

[@vidotter]

I saw a vlog where the artist just sold $1 stickers?! 😮 just wondering how that went with y’all - I follow several of your friends 😊

[@drawnbyivy]

Every artist prices their products differently but my price point is to ensure a decent profit margin for myself (gotta pay the bills somehow 🤧) I outsource my stickers to ensure the best possible quality for customers so selling them at $1 is just not feasible for me personally. I would be making nothing 😭 thankfully, most people shopping at artist alley understand they’re shopping with small business so i still have many people buying my stickers to support my art! 🥹

[@femmegalaxyink]

Whyyyy must I live so far from LA?? I only care when I miss cool art events like this.

[@drawnbyivy]

SoCal is really spoiled with so many cool art events 🫣 but anime cons are hosted all over the country if you search for them!! 😤

[@newyugiohguy]

where is the helper

[@drawnbyivy]

not helpin 🫣 (he was busy that weekend 🤧🤧)
