I feel like I've been making my presence less and less known as the months drag on. Could be that maybe February has still been gnawing at me, which is quite lamentable seeing has how it's not getting me anywhere. Seriously, I don't know how long I'm gonna grieve until I'm quite back to my former self. I'm not used to this, and I'm not really ( Read more... )

I had to go back and read your old entries to see what happened in Feb. as I haven't been on LJ much... I'm sorry to hear about the death of Josie. It's frustrating and cold and angering and hurtful... I wish I could do more but I can be an ear. I'll call you next week sometime so we can catch up. Still at the same ( ... )

I wonder about that too.. like I would LOOVE to do all these things but I'm like well fuck everyone likes having things for free on the internet these days. have no use for paper things or stationary or hand made art.

idk.

I DO love those paper models though. hnngggh.... I may make some of those for this next con :3c

I did learn that people are interested in takeaways though, which seems kind of lame but also working on things while you are at the table is fun too. Plus a lot of people bought my $3 GRS comics and asked me to sign them. It was pretty neato.

Still eager to learn more though.

I mean, if takeaways are like those little impulse buy items, that's not so bad. If I'm at a con though, I'd don't think I'd have anything necessarily for free though...I've seen other artists with free items before and attendees just get SO greedy. But then when you actually have to pay for something suddenly your art has composition issues anatomy flaws, etc. It's kinda funny really.

I just got myself a button press, so I might be trying my hand at that before the next con (which is in about 2 weeks for us!)

If I bought any sort of comic book from you I'd totally ask you to sign it. You never know when you become a comic celebrity I can fish that thing out and say "I got this when she was still local" lol!

...or I could just go over the deep end like I've done with one of my friends (which I told her I'd do as a joke but it never stops being funny for us) that I will be super evident in my brown nosing while telling everyone that I'm cooler than they are because we're buddies and they're not, LMAO!

There may be a way to post downloadables online only accessible by codes that you can sell at your tables. Offer things such as maybe backgrounds or something like that. I may be just in the furry community for the most part, but those things are selling like hotcakes. People ALWAYS love buttons tho. Sorry I didn't see you post this earlier. I haven't really logged in too much lately :/

Ooooh, I like that downloadables idea! I've been trying to sell some digital copies on Etsy. I've only made one sale though, but I don't think it's too bad of an idea...this way people can print it or display it how they want. It's cheaper for them and less work in the long run for me. Not having to worry about inventory is a real nice thing, lol!

I caved and got a button press actually...though now I'm not sure what to make! I've been thinking like, zodiac signs or anime emoticons (like the sweatdrop, the dotdotdot, that pinched nerve, etc) but people have already done that and I'm not sure if that's horrible copying or not. Any suggestions?
