It was a slow con for us too and we made significantly less than we did the previous years. Hopefully 2025 there'll be no hurricane and it'll be a great year! I liked seeing your painting in progress in the video too. 🙂
@@KawaiiStarz yea it was such a drastic change from the year prior for me. I’m sorry it was the same for you too. I’m really hoping more hurricanes don’t go and ruin stuff. Lol. Thank you about the painting. I may forget from time to time to record it but I’m gonna keep trying to show that part.
I'm still mad at Wasabicon for acting like the October show was good to go, and we drove all the way up there after getting wrecked by the hurricane here in St. Pete...just to cancel the show RIGHT after we checked into our hotel lol Between that, and how awful they treat artists at their other shows, I don't think I'll be back lol Which is sad cause they were the first con I boothed at in 2019. :( Cons definitely have a different vibe these days. It's rough out there ;_;
@@Dyvex I feel that. I wasn’t one of the people already there but I was packing the car and I had a friend 4hrs into her 8hr drive. I was not happy about it all. I’m still on the fence cause wasabi is normally a good show for me… 😩
21:10 What day is it? LUL Love the videos, Cant speak for American cons but its been similar here in the UK this year with certain conventions as someone who has tables at some of them I noticed that conventions have been very different this year with attendees etc but dont give up hopefully 2025 will be alot better
@@otakubecky3074 it’s definitely been so odd. It’s crazy how they are weird over there too. I don’t plan on stopping, just got to change plans and strategize differently.
I hope you kept that sign where they spelled your name right lol. Watching you paint makes me want to get back into my acrylic painting. Shows have been slow but you can’t give up, just gotta keep going. ❤
@@hervoniabaker4874 omg I took it but somehow can’t find it now!!! Ugh! Go ahead and paint. Just play around with it. Yea cons have been getting slower and slower but don’t plan on stopping.
@@emmay6744Warhol was a tracer…. He projected other peoples photographs onto the wall. But I do understand your frustration. I encounter wildlife artists who trace or use AI. Very frustrating. Is this true Ivan?
Saturday was a pretty good sales day for me! But Friday and Sunday were on the lower side. Hopefully 2025 will be better since they won’t have to reschedule due to hurricane!(I hope)
@@tuesdaysanyways we really have to hope to the convention gods or whatnot that 2025 is a bit of an improvement. Sometimes these cons feel weird in the air. Not how it was in 2021-2022. 🤣
@@pluviiox agreed. Sunday in particular was so slow for me. Like I was a bit stunned at how slow. Luckily all of you were there to help chill and hang out
Has anyone seen a big changes in conventions in 2024?

We call the leafblower the "useless man" because he makes multiple passes of our apartment at ungodly hours, and the leaves are always still there XD
@@evaempress wow… that was so perfectly put. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
