My friend and I got a table at a convention in January! So, as we make preparations, we're trying to see what people are interested in so we can get some things ready! I'm excited. I'll give more news later :3

Where is this convention? I have relatives near San Fran so if I were to say, impose upon them around that time I could probably make it (assuming in that area).

I said prints, but original art is a close second.
:iconhyunthesosarian:
I'd want original commissions if only they weren't like $15 for a sketch and $50 for a color -- but then again, artists DO have to make a living...

Don't try to keep thinking pessimistic thoughts. You will run out.

T-Shirts. I collect 'em, and wear them, and love them lots, I do.

I've not been to a convention in ages.:faint:
I voted other.

I usually collect contact info of artists who's work I'm lured to in conventions especially when I've not enough money to buy all that I like.

I also like to pick up artist's portfolio print set which often consists of 5 or 6 color and/or b&w plates. I like b/w! I don't know about now but about 15 years back they were modestly priced around $10 - $20 depending on # of plates and print size (9"x12" to 11"x 17" range).

Portfolio set are prints that can only be acquired in particular set(s) that represent an artist's work at a certain developing point in their career and are often "limited edition prints" hand numbered and signed and sometimes even dedicated if brought to the artist at their table making them even more collectable. But you already knew that, of course. :)

Portfolios were neat to pick up when first released and often fetched more when it became more scarce and sought after as the artist (unlike myself) became more widely known.

I always liked these because the inside page of the folders often gave a brevity of introduction/history of the artist/artwork featured therein and often had one or two exclusive plates that were never seen/used or published before or were commissioned specifically just for that set.

Hope this comment helped.
Too bad I'm in NY otherwise I'd see you at your table. :wave:
Loads of success to you!
