Otakon AA Question!

April 15, 2015April 15, 2015 Alex Heberling Leave a comment

Anyone out there purchased empty AA tables at Otakon before? Interested
to hear experiences, when/what time you got to set up, how many spaces
were open, that sort of thing. I haven’t been back to Ota since my
first time a few years ago (lottery system woo) but I will have my new
book out when it rolls around THIS year, so I’m wondering if it might be
worth it to schlep out to Balti and take my chances at snagging a
no-show.

First time trying this display for sketch cards. Lots of people looked, but I’m not sure it was so obvious they could commission them.

The pony button bucket ended up being a good call. I didn’t have to go get every single assortment of buttons whenever someone wanted them.

THE BIG EAR OF CORN. No takers on this one. Saturday and Sunday, this space was taken up by a display of kanzashi hair clips that I was selling for a friend.

Linkara’s autograph table was across the way, so I crushed his head. ;)

Yoruichi (Bleach) sketch card commission.

Youmacon post-mortem!

These are some pictures of my Artist Alley table, some various things from the con, and the two sketch card commissions I drew on Sunday.

On Friday, there were a lot of empty tables in the row I was in, and a completed empty block of tables across from me. So my neighbor and I decided to move across the aisle to the very corner, where there was a lot more foot traffic, and I think that helped a lot. :) I think Youmacon has a way bigger supply of tables than the demand apparently merits, which is something they could improve next year.

I handed out lots of my cards to folks, most of them Homestucks, since they make it so damn easy to tell that they like webcomics. :D

All in all, it was a pretty good show to close out my year, and I look forward to Ohayocon in January.
