With some extra funds I had after the tax season, I decided to try flying out to a convention for the first time in my first year of artist alley... but was this decision really worth it? Watch to listen to some of my thoughts as I flew out to Seattle from California for Anime Impulse's event! Some interesting things happen, including my microphone cord blowing up, which meant the last segment of my video was all post-commentary, but do you guys like that style of editing? What else should I try and show in these videos? Should I share numbers publicly? Many more questions still linger as I try to navigate my artist alley journey in my first year starting only with stickers.
I'm a 22-year-old artist who just graduated from college and is trying to live their childhood dream of turning art into their career! I started my tabling journey 8 months ago, and it's been a wild ride so far! Join me as I learn how to navigate the Artist Alley world, learn new techniques to improve my little shop, share tips on my methods, and create more art to spread into the world! :D

I flew to an anime convention in Seattle from California, and lowkey, it was an expensive experience, but at least I broke even on most of my expenses?! What else should I try doing in my first year of artist alley?...

@henryzhou8981 Месяц назад

make haikyuu stickers :D

@EternalNightsCollectibles Месяц назад

Looks like you had a good time. As long as you made back expenses it makes for a good convention revenue wise. Also, you mentioned you want to do art full time which is awesome. Lots of artists do get up to that point where they can so I hope the same does happen for you to pursue your passion as the main source of income. Keep up the good work! From one dealer vendor to another artist vendor.

I definitely had a great time meeting more people and indulging in the solo travel experience! Thank you for your support and I hope we all become successful vendors in this space :D glad to be uplifting the community together

@noahtherockstar Месяц назад

excellent body of work. rip the gopro D: cinematic advice: if you have drone footage, utilize it more. make title screens with it. add text over it. add some cinematic ass music on top of it. slo mo it. the footage looks really good but we need more of it !!

@StickerZooDesigns Месяц назад

yesssir! thank you for the tip! I think next convention I’m definitely going to utilize the drone footage more 🫡

@theflamboys Месяц назад

do more drone shots pls!

@Coloor103 Месяц назад

Nice video! Love your chill vibes! I hope i don‘t sound rude for giving a small feedback but i would really appreciate it if you could let the floating texts in the video stay a little longer! It‘s really quick and hard to read 😅

@StickerZooDesigns Месяц назад

Wait that’s actually a really good tip since I’m working on the next video at the moment, I’m definitely extending the length of the small text! Thank you so much for your support and feedback 🫡

Oh my gosh, I know you don't want to leave your table unattended but please don't hold it in all day. You could really hurt yourself. 😱

@Pretear521 Месяц назад

May I ask when you travel do you get a sales license for that area/state?

@StickerZooDesigns Месяц назад

yeah! usually, I get a sales permit for the area/state, but some events have specific forms you'd fill out when applying/sending in supplementary information to the organizers.
