TABLE WITH ME! ✿ artist alley vlog ✿ two-day convention, prep work, set-up, how much I made :)

[@beihly]

tip from a fellow vendor!! throw a big sheet or table cloth over your setup when you leave it (and even clamp it down) to prevent theft!

[@ummmheather]

GOOD IDEA TY!!!

[@ChoasIncarnate_]

I absolutely love all the extra work you put in to your products and table; the extra packaging, individual labels and backcards, etc. It really just shows how much you truly love what you do and how you really put your all into everything you do. Your style is so unique and matches you perfectly. I've been watching for a while and i love love love your content and art. You deserve all the success and happiness 🤍

[@ummmheather]

OH MY GOSH… I CRY 🥲🥹🥰🩷💜🩵 THANK U FOR SUCH KIND WORDS!! I truly do love making art SO much, I’m glad it shows 🥹

[@ummmheather]

hi friends! welcome to my GeekCraft Expo vlog! this was a big event for me, so I hope u enjoy seeing the process of how I made some things and how I set up my table! got any Q's? lmk! 💜🧡💚

[@mrs.quills7061]

I just found you, but this is fun to watch! I want to be independent one day and have been watching expo/con setups from artists. I wanna say if you’re worried about the plastic (which is understandable) there’s sellers on Etsy who make con display stands from wood. I watched another artist get it and put it together.

[@ummmheather]

omg hi!! I love watching convention videos from other artists- I'm glad you found me here 🥹 I should definitely get a wood stand- that sounds awesome!! I wish u luck on your artistic journey :)

[@xisipstea]

💜🧡💚 Showing how you set up your stand was super interesting!! Thank you!!

[@ummmheather]

I'm on a computer so I have to just say purple emoji lol. I know I'm a year late, but I LOVED this video. I'm looking forward to setting up my first booth this year and this gives me so much confidence. My sister, the reason I love anime/nerd culture passed away last year so seeing all your friends and family get to see your set up and support made me teary eyed, but in a way that makes me smile. (: Thank you for posting!

[@ummmheather]

oh my goodness, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. It sounds like she inspired you a lot. I know she's proud of you, especially with your first booth coming up! I hope it goes so well for you- you deserve it!!!

I have those acrylic stands - they're so fiddly to put together. But nice and sturdy. I LOVE that sketchbook idea! I'm doing my first convention in 8 days - can I steal it?

[@ummmheather]

PLS STEAL IT!!! It’s so fun!! Good luck at your first con 🥹💜 I hope everything goes smoothly!!!

[@fallingfreelyart]

I love the community sketchbook idea! How did you connect your wire cube panels? I like how yours feel more open and don't have the bulky corner connectors like I see most people have.

[@ummmheather]

ty!! it's cute to look back on the sketches :,) and the wire cubes I literally taped them together with scotch tape lmfao

[@fallingfreelyart]

@@ummmheather Lol, if it works it works! It looks great :)

[@stephh_606]

Everything looks so good! How do you hang your art prints on the grid panel?

[@ummmheather]

Aw thank you!! I actually tape them to the back, usually with washi tape or something like that!

[@DebLavern]

💜💚🧡 I really enjoyed your video. I hope you continue to have great success.

This was a very helpful video, thank you for posting! I was wondering, do you have any issues with selling fanart/do you have any precautions that you take when selling fanart at cons (regarding copyright/legal issues)? Or has it never been a problem?

[@ummmheather]

I've never experienced any problems! (crossing fingers) There's always a lot of fan art an conventions :)

[@slowlivingmajick]

Love your vlog. I have a technical question. How do you hold your wire grids together without those bulky end pieces?

[@eileenkds3630]

I was wondering about this since I’ve seen a couple of artist alley vlogs by different creators. But I’ve seen a lot of masks, is this something that is compulsory still?

[@ummmheather]

I just wear one still! not everybody does tho, and I haven't been to a con where it's required in a long time

[@BugsyBugYT]

i have a question, im thinking of making fanart as prints but im not sure how to legally do it. Since you have art of characters belonging to brands (like the kirby and goomba keychains) i was wondering how i could legally make fanart to sell of characters like them

[@ummmheather]

it's tricky. I don't have any good advice other than make the fan art unique to you and your style/brand! and pray that no corporate meanies come to shut u down :,)
