#animefusion2018

Lat few months ago, I tabled at Anime Fusion in Plymouth, MN. It was my last con, not just for the year but also for probably my whole life. (But who really knows what the future holds.) I am taking a long break from the artist alley life, and will attend cons as an eager attendee. Some of you might see me helping out at a friend’s booth, or having a shared table, but for now I am retired from that type of work. I decided to take a step back from being on site to being in the shadow, lol, if that makes sense.

On the other hand, I will not be giving up on creating and drawing art.  I am just focusing my artistic energy on something else. I will continue to make merch, for my online store, and I will also be doing more online request, commission, and art trade.

Now, onward to my anime fusion report. I use to love doing these but, there is seriously no time to do them anymore, not like it use to 4-5 years ago.

Day 1

The artist alley had two rooms, and I was in room E, (I think) and I had the perfect spot to the corner strain from the door.  I tabled next to Sewn Together Reflections, and I love the passion you two have. The con’s artist alley opened at 2pm, so I had some free time to roam before it started. The temperature though, I have mixed feelings about, but not at all bothered by it. Set up for day 1 was very nice, and I got everything ready to go. I was also so happy to see my mini drawings on the poster and around A.fusion, lol not that anyone knew I drew them but me.

Throughout the day, I saw many familiar faces from my last con, and many new ones too. I had a very good turn out on day 1, and sold all my grab bags, including my special Kiri-baku grab bag. (I hope you all love it) I only had the Ninja grab bag left. (Sold on day 2)

I also got some commission on day 1, 2 full color and 1 sketch. Thank you so much for supporting my art and me. I enjoyed it so much, and it kept me busy, and happy.

Day 2

Day 1 was great, and yet day 2 was even better. Why? Because I spotted so many of My Hero Academia (BNHA) cosplayers, and the villian-ish!!!!! I was so happy and and thank you to those who did my favor and took photos with the nitotan I have of Kirishima X Bakugou, and Himiko and Dabi.

My friend also got me some things from the other artist’s booth and dealer’s room. My day 2 ended with my friend battling blind boxes to get what she had wanted. Lol.

Day 3

I usually don’t do any sunday sales, but since this is my last one, I thought I’ll discount only on my prints. (I usually have mixed feelings about having sunday sales though.)

It was probably one of the most relaxing day out of the three, just because I didn't have any commission, and I gotta make some last purchases.

Thank you to everyone that came out to Anime Fusion, and for supporting your local artists. I had fun, and lots of fond memories to reflect on, while moving forward.
