    "I turned THIRTY, I can spend all the money I want." I love it. 😂 I'm glad you had so much fun! It's crazy that in California you have so many local markets that you can sell Japanese-inspired goods that you don't even really need to go to conventions. I live in a small town in Arizona and I can't tell you how often I wish i could move to a larger city with more markets that hit my niche. Very very lucky.

      surviving 3 decades = I get to buy whatever I want lol. Yes, I've recently only discovered how blessed I am with how many events there are in the Bay Area! Combined with the large asian demographic means there are plenty of Asian themed events outside of conventions for me to sell my art out there and people actually buy! I'm very grateful. I have heard the Phoenix area is starting to pick up a lot more events though. Hope you find some great little gems of events out there!

    I REALLY appreciate your consistent upload 🤗 I mean how long does it take for you to edit all of this? 😵💫 Also, Cody is 1000% correct! making RUclips videos for your art business is definitely NOT stupid. I'd go as far to say that it is the most effective form of advertisement an artist could do online!! 😆👍it's accessible, more engaging than short form content or IG pictures, and doesn't feel daunting for a lot of people to sit through unlike livestreams. So, keep doing what you're doing because I think it's great 🥰.

    I had a free place to stay but shipping things to my mom's was still a lot. I had two back to back cons (Momocon and Nashville Comicon) and my expenses were still $1331 (the Nashville event was only like $160 of that bc also free hotel, free parking).
    Glad you did so well!

      Dang what a cheap hotel stay!! I feel like we paid so much for our hotel, but I enjoyed our stay and the convenience of it sm that I can't say I regret it. Hope your back to back conventions were profitable and worthwhile!
