I keep thinking we’re much closer to August than we actually are. And hey, I’m out of ink again, because of course I am. And I’m having…

Before hiring an event planner, you must look closely at their work profile and what reputation the planner shares with the previous client.

I'm at Geek Craft Expo Seattle! Find me at booth #B-08

My final show of the year is this weekend at Hangar 30 / Magnuson Park | Seattle WA. It's a Holiday show, but it's also basically if you took the artist alley/exhibitor hall from a geeky convention and let you get in for just $2! Ok it's literally that :D More info at this link

I'll share some images of a few things I'll have this year, but there are a TON of new prints, especially in the hand embellished Limited Edition Category.

There will be a bin of Original artwork including a few on sale (PS my shop will be closed for a week for the show)

I'll have bundles and singles of my new Rune Owls stationary planner series

And a few other things at my booth: tons of stickers, washi tape, prints, mouse pads, and gaming playmats / deskmats.

And there will be a limited selection of discount blind bags for old and retired prints packed up all nice like this! There are different themes, like dragons, fantasy mix, and animals and nature. Each pack has 15 prints for $30. If any are left after the show I'll throw them to my mailing list.

I'll also have B-Grade enamel pins in these absolutely adorable gift boxes. The black box has 4 pins for $20 ($60 value) and the gold box is $40 ($120 value). These are ridiculous "I desperately need to move these ASAP because I'm tired of them taking up precious space" prices. Again, if there are any left over I'll toss them up on my site next week to the mailing list. ;D

If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by! It's ALL local, small artists and artisans - the best way to support small businesses for holiday shopping and just in general.

full transparency~ sales and interactions went super well!! but not quite hitting the numbers that would ~encourage~ us to do [many] conventions outside of our home state lol. sucks to say, but yep! patrick and I work full time, and i think we're coming to a point where we needta talk about how much time/effort/money we'll be putting towards conventions to succeed! for now it's a fun hobby that pays for itself, but we would love to expand--

proper online shop/sticker shop in the future??!! hopefully!!

for now~ i'll get back to finishing ko-fi commissions and inbox requests! thank ya for your patience and thank you guyssss for hanging out and supporting us!! ( ๑ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و ♡

Comic fans and residents of the DC/Maryland area—I’ll be at table K7 at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD this weekend with my buddies Vron and Lee!

I’ve got a bunch of new goodies to debut and plan to put what’s left in my Etsy shop after this weekend 👍💖

[cat-boyz]

has anyone here ever had a booth at the oddities and curiosities expo? I want to eventually try doing a booth there, and I tried to see if any vendors had any reviews of their experience but I’m not really finding anything. I’m wondering what it’s like to have a booth there and if it’s a good investment.

Come Show Us Your Support on December 11th 2024, in Atlanta, Georgia... The Elegant Suite hopes to see you soon!

Heading to Geek Craft Expo Seattle at the end of the month! If you're in the area and have a need to go to an artist alley without dealing with the rest of a convention (or the high cost of getting in!) this is the place to go! It's quite literally an artist alley, over 100 vendors and artists with geeky stuff, NOT a craft show. Think of Emerald City CC's Home grown section with a bit more variety ;)

A quick note that my online shop will be closed Nov 24-27th while I'm at this show!
