I can't believe what a great convention AN'10 has been.
The experience was priceless!
This year was my first time having an artist alley table, and I really want to give a special shout-out to all of the people who came by my table. I want to give a special thanks and appreciation for all of those who took special interest in my goods, talked to me and invested your hard earned money on my goods. It's a really great honour!
Last but not least, a special-shoutout goes to my table, hotel-bed buddy
, who dealt with my hooligans and sleeping-kicks (sorry >_<") for 3 days;
&
for helping out with the table set ups, getting us foods and being wonderful hotel-mates & bed-neighbors; and all of the other members of
(Danny, Nathan, Jason),
for helping us out at the table and decorating;
for her advisory and making all of this possible,
for being the best table-neighbour ever and lending all her utensils, scissors, red-pens and giving us her sugar-treats... and sharing her advice about selling at AN!
I also want to give a special congratulatory message to the guys at
. They sold all of their doujinshi's!
I had a lot of fun with my friends from
. All the fun we had in our connecting hotel rooms (pillow fights, pillow stealing, arm-wrestling and whatnot) was hilarious. When I went home and all the craziness was gone, I felt like something was missing, lol. OTL... adjustment fail.
MAD PROPS to:
for returning home 2 times to get his stuff;;;; lol!!
for going to church on Sunday, despite AN. What more can I say except mad-respect for his undivided devotion to God?
For those who are interested about my finances for AN:
My printing costs were very high because I used the best quality paper I can find (what better way to honour my own art, right?), but I can honestly say I broke even with the printing cost and table costs!! I didn't exactly break even (ie., weekend pass, food, hotel costs not covered), but I am really glad I took the challenge!
Again, the experience has truly been priceless. There was a lot of excitement, stress and fatigue before-AN (planning, arting and printing) and during the convention itself!
I learned a lot!
Signing off, I want to thank all of you again, my good friends, supporters and haters!
Peace out and don't drink the haterade! ;D
<3
Best,
