ConnectiCon was fantastic, as always. Ginormous thanks to Mat and the rest of the staff & volunteers at the con for making it amazing (let's get a food truck festival again next year, that was awesome). Also huge thanks to everyone who stopped by my booth, grabbed a business card, got some buttons, bought my book or commissioned me, just chatted

I still feel guilty sometimes but for the most part, what I charge at cons is comfortable for me. You don't like what I charge? That's okay, I have plenty of other inexpensive, ready to go items. Or move on. I don't want to deal with the super cheap crowd that wants the stars for their meager dollar. The less I charged the harder it was dealing with commissioners.

Since I spend a good amount of my time at my table alone, having to do con commissions takes away from valuable face-time for potential product buyers. I only get 2-4 sketches done per con because I'll spend so much time stopping and starting.

That said I have taken a few super cheap sketch book con commissions because the person who wanted it was super enthused and very open ended. "Just do whatever and I'll give you... $X?" Yeah I can work with that.
