    if you’d think you’d benefit please come to fan expo philly next year on the east coast! i bought things from jyk doodles (who i’ve seen in your videos) and while it’s also a comic-con and not all anime, it is definitely more anime than not. i would buy so much from you since i’m an annual goer.

    I gotta get to the east coast sometime and do a show. The aquarium looks awesome! Thanks for the fun vid. Oh, what would you say percentage-wise is fan art vs. original art at your booth? Keep goin'!

    thank you for watching!! it was definitely a very fun experience doing a show in the east coast! the aquarium was absolutely AMAZING and i hope to come back Georgia and go again 🥺🥺 i'd say my booth at AWA was 80/20 fanart vs original? i'm trying to create more original content this year tho so am anticipating those percentages changing overtime!

    @@drawnbyivy That's cool. Yeah, I urge everyone to push original content. I know it's not easy to get going compared to fan art. But being able to have a booth that's all your own art, it's a really good feeling. What art do you have of your own that you'd really want to push?

    Where did you get your wooden display stands for your mini prints? I'm struggling to find a stand that isn't absurdly expensive.

    I got it on amazon! it's called the Barydat 4 Tier Greeting Card Display Stand. I have it linked on my amazon storefront under convention essentials! you can find it here: drawnbyivy.carrd.co/ ᵕ̈ it's the perfect size for my small prints!

    Another stall holder who doesn't say what they make or even ball park figures..So frustrating when you are trying to work out if it's worth it. Why can't you just say how much you make.

    I’ll be honest, I was waiting for this as well. I’m grateful for the overhead breakdown, but it’s not as helpful if the creator doesn’t share whether those overhead costs were covered or if they made a profit that justifies the expense…

    I mentioned in the vlog that I made back all my expenses within the first day of the convention ᵕ̈ so everything for the next two days was profit. and that I would do the con again despite the overhead expenses (which I assumed would imply the profit was worth it). sorry if it wasn't clear!

    Everyone has different takes on this but I think it is rude to assume people are going to share their figures online. It is a touchy subject. The artist already broke down her expenses and even shared certain merch items (+ the qty) of how much she sold certain things. That’s your ball park /o/
