#monostache

Now that the summer convention season is over, I finally have time to breathe and work on catching up on things that I've had to put off! Today I updated my shop, and added lots of my new items! http://monostache.storenvy.com/

It can be really hit or miss. I basically went to every Mandarake (and tried to revisit ones that were close enough if I had time a few days later). Sometimes there would be next to nothing and sometimes there would be a ton. The Akihabara store had nothing at all this time around, but Nakano Broadway, as always, didn’t let me down.

I needed to reorder my business cards, so I updated the design a bit to include some of my new stuff! I get these printed with printdirtcheap.com, who I love because they do rounded corners on their cards, which is a nice touch~

I think you have to take into account the neighborhoods a bit? Like haha, MGS doujinshi seems a little unlikely for (what seems to me like) the male dominated population of nerds of Akiba and maybe a little too WAR GAMES for the female dominated Ikebukuro (although I did find some time time). Nakano has always been my sweet spot. <3

Working on vamping up my hair clip display! Deciding what background fabric to go with, leaning towards the minty flower print, which I feel has nicer contrast, but isn't too distracting.

So this was totally the start of my business! Some friends and I won a table from our participation in a silly keyboard cat art show, and the prize was an artist alley table the next year~ It was an experiment, but I wound up doing so well, I decided to keep at it!

/)u(\ Thank you!!!! That warms my heart! I think you’re crafty as heck yourself!

haha! The designs in that manga were all kind of 90′s improbable but that was part of its charm!!!
