    I tried my best but unfortunately could not get the social media handles of every single artist I saw T___T I got the booth numbers for most of them, but some didn't have their info listed on the Design Festa site (a few didn't have any socials listed at all)--next time I'll be more diligent about collecting business cards!!
    also--I got permission from Design Festa to film beforehand, but if you do end up going and want to take pictures/video, just ask the booth artist! ^^

    Ok first: Thank you for putting the names of the artists in the video because I saw sooo many artists that intrigued me. Second: Man I WISHED there was something like this in germany. I swear I went to 3 anime cons in my life and I usually run to the artist alley and I always noticed that the artist doing og art or non anime specific art/no fanart always have the smallest stands as well as the ones with the least people at it and the stands located at the worst locations. Like this girl I saw at my last con I went to in summer last year. She had these handmade koi fish pencil cases which where super adorable as well as very cute stickers. But she was located in a corner basically literally in the shadow of two super big booths. One being fanart of demon slayer themed and the other was jjk I think. I went to her because of the pencil case and she was such a sweetheart. Super nice and so happy I bought the case and seeing how I was super hyped right on the spot.
    I have nothing against fanart artists or fanart in general, usually not my thing to get tbh, but at conventions these type of booths always overshadow the ones not making fanart but original art with oc's and such which is always kinda sad I think. I always try to go to these booths especially but due to stupid location you miss a ton. I never seen a con like this here that was just for og art of all kinds but I hope something like this will be picked up and done here as well

    Wasn't expecting to cry watching this.
    My cat, pictured left, passed away after a very long battle with diabetes. We called him Kitten because that was the only name he came to. Rescued him out of our apartment complex parking lot. He was skin and bones when we took him in, but a voracious eater! He blessed our lives for 6 years.
    He lost a lot of weight near the end. It's been 7 years, and yes, I have 2 adorable and healthy fur babies that follow me around everywhere and step on my face when I try to sleep, and I love them more than anything, but not a day goes by that I don't miss Kitten.

    The chubby cat one hit me hard. We had to say goodbye to our cat of almost 13 years this past April. She was diagnosed with diabetes, and the treatment was very expensive and would've had her being constantly injected with needles (which she hated). The vet described what she was going through as she was absorbing her own body to survive as the diabetes effectively stopped her from properly getting the nutrients she needed from food. Though we tried managing her condition with a special diet, the vet revealed the treatment (though it would've removed her quality of life) was the only option where she'd survive. Our cat lasted about a year with her condition, but in the end we opted to have her put down. Her name was Cody and she was the bestest cat anyone could've asked for.

    This event is a perfect representation of how creative anyone from any segment of society can be if they put in dedication and consistent effort. I like how this event showcases obscure art pieces made by independent artists who are probably just regular people and how you probably will not find these exact things anywhere else. All the examples of the things you bought showcase how eventful an obscure personalized experience could be. You really seem to live a good life traveling so much and doing all these things while making money off of your love of animating and anime.

      @@starsantheoriginal not really. When you draw fanart, you are actively learning from the people you make fanart for. Also having fun drawing is above all other things and that's what keeps you drawing. You're not stunting yourself by drawing fanart. You're taking inspiration and skills from people you look up to to create a piece of art. saying that making fanart "stunts your growth" is actually the worst piece of advice you could have told. Alex Ries, who was a concept artist for Subnautica: Below Zero got hired because he made fanart of the ORIGINAL Subnautica. There are many, many more instances of that.

      i wouldn't say it's underrated. animals and costume animals exist in various forms. it's just no one who isn't them actually cares. i still find it dumb when furries say furry stuff is underrated or the animal stuff is some niche like it literally isn't absolutely everywhere and at the top in just about everything. this is why i see them as obsessed, they want everyone to be in the furry lifestyle.

    I cried at the last one :,[ I had a big chubby cat, but he got sick and died at only 5 years old. He likely had cancer that was noticed too late, and near the end of his life he lost so much weight and was skinny. It broke my heart and I still miss him so much. I think their reason for making cute chubby cats is so beautiful 🩷

    At 15:45 i actually started crying(and am still crying) because my chubby baby black cat Patrick passed away this last August from kidney disease and he was also so skinny towards the end.. I miss him so much everyday. I hope he knew how much I loved and appreciated him. He was always such a calming presence and having it gone was harder to deal with than expected. I wasn’t expecting to start balling in this video Emily whyyyy 😭

    1:56 As an architect, that building really does something for me every time i see it. From a time we used to dream just a bit bigger. Dunno if the kids ever saw it, but within the same mentality, we were to have pyramid cities on water. Shimizu TRY. It was always thought out for 2030, so there's still hope and it would've been built in the Tokyo bay.
    It's possible that for some TBS looks very simplistic (a simple solid) but it's the sum of all parts that deems it refined. It's difficult to make a solid into something that won't have your brain "alert alert, that's bullsh!t". When TBS was built, boy... did the conservative crowd in Japan lose their Okonomiyaki over it. :))
    Takeo Satow's legacy (as he was passed away by the time TBS was conceived) really came to shine in the firm's buildings. Big ups to the firm for being able to aggressively move into a sector where other peers couldn't cut it.

    Love watching this to get an idea how Design Festa is! I love artist alleys at anime cons in the US and also local art markets. I've been wanting to go to Design Festa for years and finally the timing has worked out so I'm going to attend the upcoming one in May. Look forward to it!

    Japan can make cute males and cute females, especially when being sex dimorphic on the characters. The arching head with tall and round eyes together design is a classic.
