I also really appreciate the transparency in this video a lot of artists don’t share what they made just say they broke even or made what they estimated.

Thank you! I find these types of videos so useful too, especially for my first time doing Artist Alley I wanted to know what to expect. So I'm hoping this video will help other people in the same way :)

Hello, fellow artist here! Later this year I'll be vending at an anime con for the first time. I've been watching videos, preparing for the con, and I find this video very helpful! I admire your transparency, I feel like you covered many topics that many artists don't cover such as exact earnings, profits, and other details. I'll make sure to watch more videos from you in the future. Thanks!

🍅 congrats on your first artist alley! I’m so nervous about drawing and producing my own art… I love your honesty. I will probably cry when I make my first sale. Will def be vlogging that experience lol. I saw ummheather’s idea of the draw in my sketchbook and loved it too. I loved that you showed the doodles they did. Keep going! You got this! 💛

I love this!! The gingham cover is so perfect. And you gave me the idea to do mystery bags! That sounds like it would be so fun.

Congrats on all your hard work paying off so much at your first con, your setup is amazing for a first time and your art is so cute! 💖 Got recommended this video by the algorithm and was pleasantly surprised to hear another Aussie! I'm in QLD and have only done Brissie cons so far but have heard the same about Sydney and Melbourne cons so hopefully we can both table there in future and I'll come say hi 🍅

thank you so much for making this video, it was so helpful !! I'm applying to do my first artist alley this month that will be in April, do you have recommendations on how much stock to bring for an alley with approximately 1000+ attendees?

@eraserheadarts 5 ай бұрын

You're so welcome! Honestly just as much as you think you'll need, and then double or triple it lol. It also depends on what you make. Stickers are my main seller so I try to bring at least 10 of each and at least 20 of my more popular designs. For keychains it's the same. Prints aren't as popular of a seller for me so I might only bring 5 of each print.
