folks who have been to cons and did photo-ops with the celebs, are there any do's and don'ts. i suppose there would be to avoid any mishaps but i always wondered if there was a list, especially with photo poses because I have seen J2 do a lot of poses with the fans (cute ones of course) but i wondered if there's still a decorum that needs to be maintained

₊˚⊹♡ how to decide if a particular artist alley is worth vending at for you ♡⊹˚₊

Whether or not you perform well at an artist alley/art market is dependent on a lot of different factors. Many of these are out of your control, such as how well the event advertises or where you're placed in the hall. However, there are data points you can use to make an informed decision on whether a particular show would be a good fit for your work!

♡ Event Type: Is is an anime convention? ComiCon? Craft festival? The type of event will set a baseline for what kind of people and vendors you can expect to attend. If it is a very hand-crafted, traditional art fair, then things like digitally drawn art prints might not do as well. ♡ Audience: The event type isn't the only thing that determines who will attend. Check out the list of guests, panels, and workshops. Are there anime voice actors? Comic book artists? These are all hints for who/what the event is catering towards. Sometimes you can also see the artists who attended the previous year. Ask fellow artists who have vended at this event before. They'll have the inside scoop for what really sells well. ♡ Your Budget: Vending at any show is taking on a certain level of risk. Avoid signing up for an event that requires you to spend more than you're willing to lose. Aside from your table fee, little costs can add up such as gas, insurance, lodging, food, and booth supplies. ♡ Location: How far are you willing to travel? Would you have to get a hotel? Is it far enough out to fly or take a multi-day road trip? Be honest with yourself about your personal limitations. Driving 10 hours might not be worth it for a single day show, but it might be for a large scale 3-4 day event that has a good reputation. Again, ask other artists on social media for their perspective. ♡ Your Goals: Sometimes the goal isn't just to turn a profit. Attending an event is always a chance to learn and network with other artists. Sometimes it can even be reason to take a vacation. For example, if you're new to vending and aren't too worried about being in the green, that local small event might be more worth your time compared to someone who is trying to hit a certain profit margin. At the end of the day, there is no way to perfectly predict how a given show will go for you, but keeping in mind these points will give you a better idea of what you're getting into. I personally believe that almost every event is worth trying at least once just for the experience, as long as you're staying within your budget and most importantly - taking care of yourself!

Any Comic-Cons in Illinois?

So I’m a crazy fangirl. I haven’t been to a single comic-con or cosplayed. (unless you count halloween...) Does anyone know about any Comic-Cons happening in Illinois, specifically in the Chicagoland area? Also, if I want to cosplay, I’m going to need help choosing because I am obsessed with way to many things. Here are my ideas:

- Agent Peggy Carter

- Hope Van Dyne / the Wasp (but i’d be in the wasp costume)

- Claire Dearing (either movie)

-Blue the Velociraptor

- Newt Scamander

- Tina Goldstein

- Marinette Dupen-cheng, aka Ladybug

I’m a brunette, which probably won’t work with half the cosplay ideas, but oh well. :D

If I brought my little sister (8), she’d either be Wanda Maximoff or Angie Martinelli. Most likely Wanda. My brother (11) says he just wants to dress up like someone who would be well known, but there is no way in the world that if I’m Claire I’m letting him be Owen. Ick.

My littlest brother (5) would probably dress in his Spiderman costume (when he plays dress up that’s literally what he wears all the time. He was Spiderman 2 years in a row.) If not, he’d dress as something from minecraft.

Other things my brother might be: Bucky Barnes, Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Owen...maybe even Alan Grant. (but if he’s Steve or Owen, Peggy and Claire are out!)  

Anyway,  this would all probably happen AFTER Covid-19 is over, and I’m only going to go with my siblings if my parents are okay with watching them. I’m not old enough to go by myself anyway. I can’t even drive! LOL. Anyway, Reblog and respond your thoughts. And if you know of any Comic-Cons in my area, mention them! :D

Stay Safe!

For those who may have missed it, here is the photo of me with Catherine Bach, who played Daisy Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard, holding the illustration I created and gave her, now as its own post! I have more information about my time at New England Super Megafest @supermegafest in the previous post, including the print she and the other main actors signed! #comiccon #comiccons #comicconvention #convention #cosplay #daisyduke #merchandise #poster #print #prints #thedukesofhazzard #comicconventions #comiccon2019 #comicconvention2019 #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B6d1RLJgjtf/?igshid=1v3ef96kqzxw8
