[@IrisAndIvy]

Looking forward to BizBaz today!

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

I hope you grabbed what you wanted!

[@karenmckenna658]

Love when you talk about the future of business and can't wait to hear where its going! Love your stuff/style!

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

Thank you!! I’m excited to share all the cool stuff I’m working on~

[@ChoasIncarnate_]

Have you ever thought of making a video on how to make tote bags and who to go through when ordering? i know id lovve to see that process, your tote bags are always so beautiful!

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

I could definitely do a series that does this for different types of merch!

[@ChoasIncarnate_]

i would love that! i love seeing the process @@LeSpiritDesigns

[@ChantelleArts]

thank you for sharing your experiences ❤❤

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

I do my best!! 🥰

[@poppy7740]

One of my favourite things to do at cons is to talk to the artists about their art and there inspo and characters i love learning more about them (don't worry i don't just sit there and don't buy anything i always get something to support the artist :>)

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

We love having people ask about our characters!

[@singlesploot]

I tried to swing by your table before day 2 but you weren't there in the morning hahaha! Simultaneously glad and sad that this was just such a slow convention overall.

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

Dang it!! Hopefully we will cross paths in the future!

[@kiki9204]

I’m on the same boat~. I am planning to cut down in state cons, but I’m going to apply more out of state cons to reach more people. I feel like good amount of Texan pet parents (I live in Texas) who love anime and Japanese cultures know me already because I did a lot of Texas cons. Love your videos always. Thank you so much for your awesomeness ❤

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

I just want to do bigger shows! There are a few big ones here in Cali, but I want to add more to my list!

[@kiki9204]

Cali has a lot of good shows from what I heard. I’m apply for cali cons as well. Hope to see you soon in person!

[@XIXCIV]

hi! would you be able to explain the application process or how someone can apply to this con?

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

So basically when they have apps open, you grab the PDF and fill it out, and pick your top 3 spots you’d like from the AA/Vendor hall map, and email them your app. But if you’re even marginally late (I sent my app for Artist alley like 4 hours after they opened them), you won’t hear back. I had to wait for others to say they got in to email them 3 times to see if I got a spot, and didn’t hear back until I asked about the vendor hall 😅

[@XIXCIV]

@@LeSpiritDesigns ahh ty for the response! it does seem like a shitty process i mean why we gotta email lol do you happen to know around what dates they open apps? im so bad at figuring those out 🫣

[@KayMayCosplay]

Glad it was a good con for you!!! I know it seems strange to say but have you ever thought of doing a year in review pie chart of what cons net you the most profit?

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

Oh that might be interesting! Though it would be no surprise that the answer is always SacAnime 😂

[@KayMayCosplay]

@@LeSpiritDesigns You always seem to kill it at that show and it's always fun to see how things go for you.

[@CateTenmatay]

Hey hey! Again, lovely to meet you at AP. And yes, I was talking to my brother as we walked around that the crowds this year felt less this year. At first, we thought it was just more space in between aisles but even with that, it felt… not crowded. But I hope you guys still had a good time, if not at AP but with the food places around lol. I hope to see you at another SoCal con!

[@LeSpiritDesigns]

It felt crowded from our end, but just seemed like no one was stopping to shop! It’s a very strange con in my limited experience 😂 but thank you for stopping by, it was lovely to see you!!
