If you had told me I would be tabling at Anime Expo a year ago, I would not believe you!!! This is the craziest experience, and I got the chance to make tons of new friends throughout the July 4th weekend while selling my art?! Join me in the artist alley for five frantic days as we tackle the BIGGEST ANIME CONVENTION in the entire nation, possibly even the entire world??? I accomplished all the goals I could imagine for this event, including making a semi-viral reel about deodorant (since I read so many reddit threads about the 2023 incidents) that people ACTUALLY thought was funny during the convention... even Anime Expo themself commented on my video! I'm so stoked for what is to come in the future despite me being still somewhat new to all this, but I'm hoping for the best in 2025! Thank you all for supporting, Zookies!!
I'm a 22-year-old artist who just graduated from college and is trying to live their childhood dream of turning art into their career! I started my tabling journey 10 months ago, and it's been a wild ride so far! Join me as I learn how to navigate the Artist Alley world, learn new techniques to improve my little shop, share tips on my methods, and create more art to spread into the world! :D
