Naru2U

Naru2U was eventful to say the least. Nothing was wrong with the convention, the convention was great, just the hotel wasn't. But I don't want to dwell too much on that. So I bring you some convention pics! 

The first couple of pictures are of our tables, and I say our because I was there with my friend Kayla who runs her own shop RococoNeko which she sells mainly hand made clothes and various accessories. And the picture on the right is my table. I was unable to put up my backdrop because I lost a little piece that was supposed to make it stand. Oh well I made do with what I had. The left part of my table was used by some of my other friends to sell their wears :) I think it was their first convention selling so they were a bit excited. :) They helped me sell a few of my things as well, while I went looking around and sneaking a peak at other people's stuff.

This is a closer look at the set up of my booth. I got my self a magnet board which had a cork frame and I was able to write on it too! I was so happy with that purchase. One of my other friends was able to spare her grid so I could have a proper display, which I think I should have done something more with it to at least make it bigger. However at that moment I was feeling discouraged and winded. I was happy to have help from my friend J.R. I'm so thankful I got so many people helping me! 

And not having a wifi enabled phone would have been disastrous for me. I don't have one but my friends did! Again THANK YOU! :D I was able to look up what characters look like, and get the colours done right. The first one is from Yugioh, a dark magician man, I think that's what it's called. And the other is one of Chibi-Moon :D I will be doing more Tangles of her in the future (Anime North!) And they were so happy with the paintings they gave me double the amount I was asking for!

Till next time! 

ConBravo Hoopla

The last weekend of July had me heading off  to ConBravo in Burlington with my selling partner Kayla and my Boyfriend Paul. We were actually expecting a longer ride to the convention area, but were pleasantly surprised when we only had half the drive time. Here is a picture of our booth set up and yes that is Kayla behind all that stuff. 

So on to some awesome art news! I've got two new paintings to show, well three, but I'll post up the other one soon enough. DeadPool and Mario!

I heart DeadPool. He looks like he's just so happy and care free to do whatever he wants. He so cute I can't stand it. :P He's one of the tiny ones sitting at 2 inches by 2.75 inches and I sold them to quite a few people who wanted  him as magnets. I hope he brings joy to their refrigerators.

Also another popular painting at the con was Mario himself. A Mini painting, Mario stands at 2 inches by 2.75 inches. And by popular demand was a magnet and a button! I was able to fashion a makeshift button for my boyfriend with superglue and one of Kayla's button backs. I don't think I would do this in the future as an option to customers due to the amount of time it takes for the glue to dry. However I'm looking into a way to make it work. 

ConBravo is a relatively small convention, and it was only on its second year, I probably will be going to the convention next year, I found it to be a really good place to meet new artists and get some advice from the artists that have a lot more experience. 

My next big Convention is in Ottawa at Naru2u in November. Hope to see some of you there!
