"Don't fly for this convention" ...oops [AwesomeCon ARTIST ALLEY VLOG]

the guy screaming was manifesting sales and stealing everyone's life force at the same time

It's so nice to see artists talk about money and the way they make it, as someone who hopes to sell my own art one day! I'm glad you made at least a little profit and got to learn something!

I have had similar painful experiences as an anime-styled artist with comic cons in TX, so you’re not alone 😅 it’s a learning opportunity for sure. The artists really do feel like they’re passing a $20 bill around to each other. Traveling out-of-state is a risk I’m unwilling to take yet though, so kudos to you for doing this all solo! Wishing you greater success at your next events!

Not the dragon ball scream 😭

I feel your pain. Many years ago, I ran a photography booth with backdrops and offering digital editing for the cosplayers at a con a with similarly dead artist's alley room. A dragging, awful, expensive weekend.

TIL I LEARNED THERES A CAPSLE HOTEL IN DC WTF I GREW UP HERE HOW DID I NOT KNOW???

The cat cafe was a good treat for you after that weekend! I love artists alleys, even though I live in a busy city (Toronto), there's only 3 major cons which gets too busy for anyone to even walk through. I wish there were a lot more smaller cons in my area.

OOF yeah I was another artist in the AA (I got ur infp stickers!) and yeah everyone said it was mid but...shit STILL managed to be disappointing as someone that lives local to the con 8,D Hope you have fun at Anime Boston tho!!!

It sucks to know you didn't do well at this con. I wish you luck next one around, and I hope you make more Artist Alley videos!!! I love these types of videos, so I hope to see more.

Awesome con definitely leans towards DND/COMIC related things in the artist alley at least. KPOP is also a huge thing especially when a lot of booths dont have this sort of stuff, after that this con really seems to love craft like stuff a lot . i love awesome con and have been going there for 3 years now, i do agree it is not for everyone and it can be a hit or miss, i agree with you on a lot of things you said and this year it was much slower than previous years! i loved loved seeing your booth and at least had fun being around DC <3

Your art is amazing & I hope your future cons have a better turnout 😭❤

DC area local here and I've been to a bunch of Awesome Con. Really, this show is all about the celebrity culture around comics and movies and wrestling. It's a real bummer your stuff didn't do better. Otakon or Katsucon which are also in this area are more suited to anime/manga style art. I haven't done Baltimore Comic Con but that show is specifically aimed at comic artists and doesn't invite a lot of celebs so that might be an option, but I feel like BCC is best if you're a local.

the Kamehameha edit had me dying 🤣🤣🤣

ahhh im so sorry you had a bad con i was wondering about this one so thank you for being so transparent about it! your art is so lovely! i hope to see you at another con! and the capsule hotel is so cool! i didnt even know there was an option! the artist discord is so cool!

YT recommended me your video and it did not disappoint! I really enjoyed this vlog because you definitely showed a different perspective about cons that most people choose to not disclose. Funny how I had a similar problem with the photostand during a convention but ended up being okay! Haha. Also I’m still 1:42 min in the video but I wanna make sure to comment my initial thoughts now. I hope we can meet each other at a convention in the future! I love meeting fellow artists! Also looking forward for more of your videos.

super informative video !! I was pondering doing a con in the near future so this was both grounding and motivating to watch. thanks for the transparency 🫡💕

Sorry to hear u had a rough time, best of luck with future cons

The goku in the background is hilarious only because I don't have to suffer in person

3:50 this shot is my favourite thing ever. Glad to see the capsule hotel was a cool experience! Budget friendly Japanese experience with the con snacks too xD enjoyed this video and the breakdown 😌

Price breakdown was SO helpful! Thank you for sharing!
