I was at Vancouver Art Book Fair the last 3 days!! tabling with three other ppl i knew from a bookmaking class at ECU (yaay we love saving money on table fees LOL)
sooo nice to be at an event Specifically for bookmakers and book artists :'''] (i love u raincity comicon n other fanart/illustration type artist alleys but ouhhh it's tasty tasty stuff being a book artist at VABF!!)
I actually only rlly met n talked with my tablemates AT this event lol; esp cause the class we met in I was auditing (sort of Ah essentially I wasn't there all the time lol). Was lovely to meet them n get to know them But it was v funny when ppl came up being like 'ooh is "East Van Student Books" like a collective wht do u do' n we're like oh um no we're just uhh all from ECU and we got a table together to save money n we all were in the same class once LOL
my tablemates didn't bring as many items as me + had varying availability due to life things so we had more tablemates in the 2nd/3rd days! they also all sold out of almost all their stuff!! so on the last day last few hours of the fair I had the whole table to myself haha v nice
That meant we had a lotta reorganizing of our table throughout the fair; kinda fun we had a v dynamic table it twas changing forms throughout the day ~
to talk ~businessy~ for a sec: For a 3 day event, I didn't earn that much more than I did at Raincity comic con which is Very interesting insight to me.. My two main theories are that 1. my books stood out much more as different/unique at the majority illustration/prints being sold at raincity, and 2. (which was the opinion of our table neighbour who has been doing this for longer) that multi-day events don't sell as well per day as 1-day events do as there's less feeling of urgency? they said that lotta ppl were like 'i'll come back tmr!' n then most don't haha fair enough
o man the last like 2-3 hours of the fair idk if it was cause i had the whole table so my stuff was able to be more visible/spread out more or if it was just ppl were starting to get like "aaa its almost closing i gotta hurry n look at everything!!" But it got BUSY. it was 5pm before i knew it goddamn!! last hours of fair i've noticed from my time helping my mentor do this last year is i guess the time where fellow book artists start Talkin to each other and connecting; i got suuch helpful advice and got pulled into much longer conversations in that last bit of time haha AH!! i have like 5 things/ppl i need to follow up on now orz a blessing and a curse... it feels like getting homework after class LMAO i wanna nappp
