    I started journaling & uhhh mood noting? this week. It has helped quite a bit in acknowledge my feeling and take an overview of how my day actually went. Changecmy perspective on what initially felt like bad days.

    Hi, Tuna, I found your animethon (the Edmonton anime expo you went to) video searching for info about the expo then it led to this video. I found this video super inspiring. I always enjoyed sketching but was never good and it wasn't a career thing for me. It's super interesting to hear about what a career in art looks like. I'm also inspired to start drawing again just for fun :)

    As a Maritimer, I'd say most events here show preference to local creators. We don't have a ton of events, and space is very limited, so we really like to support the locals.

    I double checked with my con and am putting business cards on the back of little candy’s this time of year (think sour patch kids that you give at Halloween). Yes it’s a freebie, but everyone loves candy so it draws people to my booth. I’m not allowed to sell them, and it makes them take a business card. I will have to see how it goes.

    The colours remind me a lot of how Hockney paints (painted?) landscapes. I loved it as a kid as it was so different to anything else I'd ever seen. Brings back good memories of going to see an exhibition of his with my great grandmother 😊

    Shipping is a big consideration when buying online. I'm from the UK and whenever we order from outside the UK the shipping is high and we get hit with additional customs charges which can really push up the cost. In the past I've paid more for a product in shipping and customs charges than the item was sold for. Especially during the current financial climate (the UK describes it as a cost of living crisis) people are cutting back and are trying to get more for their money. I work at an independent bookshop and they've noticed a consistent downturn in sales (and the other local businesses that my boss has discussed it with have too). I hope things go better this time but, regardless of the outcome, it's important to remember that there are so many factors outside our control and someone's choice to not purchase isn't a reflection on your skill as an artist 💛

    I’ve been using Atomic for my stickers, and I have found them to be the best balance of price and quality in Canada (I don’t live in BC and I still order through them!). Yes, they might take a little longer when they have their sales, but for me, I just budget a few extra days for production and it is no problem. I’ve had one order where the color was a little off, but I should’ve checked the proof a little better, so that was on me. Overall, I’m happy with them!

    Congrats on the new shop. ♥️ The clothing shots turned out so vibrant and nice with the yellow background, very on brand. 🤗 Using a local manu for stickers etc. would be sooooo nice! In person pick up, talking to an actual person, supporting local etc. -- amazing. I wish we had anything local I could use. (or, actually, we might have but for some reason printers over here refuse to offer prices on their sites and no storefronts 😑 like you think I'd actually call 20 different places about a quote for every product?! no thanks)
