Hey all!
New to the fandom, planning on going to my first con (Furvana in Ocean Shores, WA) at the end of this month. I'm an artist and am hoping to partake in the artist alley. I'm no stranger to vending-- I have many street fairs, art walks, and similar events under my belt-- but never technically an artist alley table at a convention. I'm planning on bringing some 8"x10" prints, 5"x7" prints, stickers, a couple original paintings, and doing small commissions. Perhaps just sketches mostly, and maybe some watercolor pieces. To an artist alley veteran, does this sound doable to you? Is there anything that sells well/terribly? Should I bring a portfolio, have a commissions price list, signage...? When you were a newbie, what advice would YOU have liked to hear?
I'm also wondering if anyone else is planning on going to Furvana! As I understand it, it's a pretty new con.
Thank you!!
