I’m so happy your experience was a lot better this year! I heard a lot of fellow vendors experience a better c2e2 this year in general, myself included! I’m Ari, the artist who caught you setting up early in the morning Saturday :’) Thank you sm for trading with me, you were so kind and lovely to meet!! So cool to see myself in the vlog😸 definitely hope to see you in Chicago again in the future
Glad that you gave Chicago a second chance! The best part about c2e2 is that it's located downtown so it's easy access to Chinatown for good food and other nice restaurants! Glad that it proved a better con than previously
Honestly as someone who lived in Chicago until relatively recently, we used to do the architecture tours at least once a year even as residents. There are several variations of them, and ultimately it's a chill way to spend an afternoon. You feel like you're out and about doing something, but you can also just hang out on the boat, have some beverages, and relax. I'm so glad that you came back and we redeemed ourselves! Hopefully we'll see you back again soon.
Aaah, it was so good seeing you at this convention!! (I was the spazz with the beanie and Star Wars shirt). I also definitely accidentally lied when I told you I hadn’t seen your other C2E2 video, because the moment you mentioned you getting punched and losing your luggage I remembered the video immediately. ALSO- wow this is long so sorry - I have a bit of a sticker shop now set up on Etsy, and I’d love to send you some stuff if you tell me how!
As a fellow luggage collector, you cannot have too many packing cubes. Especially the ones that double zip so it flattens the contents down to save space. I got a major upgrade in travel backpacks too where the one I have now is like the go-to for people who travel Spirit or other carryon charged airlines. It fits an entire weeks worth of clothing plus electronics and still fits under the seat. It's been a lifesaver!
@@JulianneDoodles Not sure if the link comment worked since RUclips seems to be pretty iffy with links so just in case it's "Travel Backpack for Men Women 17 Inch Flight Approved Carry on Backpack Waterproof Large 40L Luggage Daypack Business College Weekender Overnight Laptop Backpack with 3 Packing Cubes, Black" by the seller Lubardy and it'll say Lubardy on the bag front. It's a mouthful of an item name but I've been using it for 2 years now.
Glad you had a great time this time around! Glad I made it in the video too, thanks for giving my city another try! Really curious to see your next video about the places you went to eat. Great video!
im always in awe when i see you do this alone and i tried it and... its so hard! i am glad u feel a bit better than last time and try this con again! its always so nice to watch your vlogs
Hi!! I got a bunch of stickers from your booth this year, and they’re all so CUTE!!! I hope to get into this con as a vendor as well some day, and I’m so so glad it worked out for you!
It was so nice to see you at C2E2! My friends and I vistied you every day and you were the best deal on stickers out of everyone there. It was the first time meeting you and I am so happy we did. You should check out Indiana's convention's (because that were we are from lol) Indy pop con and comic con are tottally popular and artist do really well there too. I still need to get that Kirby poster from you lol. Hopefully we meet again!
I was just going to ask you about pre-con packing prep and you answered it for me. Suitcases are a great idea! I want to do some art/craft fairs but I no long have an assistant to help me (my hubby passed away in '21), I'm by myself and I have just backed away from doing any because of my lack of help. So thank you!! :)
Cool, you were next to my pal Dirk. I’ve been kicking around doing this show. Maybe next year. I try to limit my shows outside a tri state area to two or three.
Nooooo waaaay you were in Chicago fuuuck I really need to keep up dam I would have cashed out for sure I would love to see The big OG pepper of peppercut!! I hope to come to your stand if you make it out again!
I love your videos! They're so informative. If i can manage to actually make designs and do more i'd totally start my own little side business. Question if you wouldn't mind. You have to still put away 30% of that for self employment taxes and then what about expensing business costs of the flight/hotel/table? Would you be able to give a ball park answer of how much your net is? Or is that already calculated into that final 7k?
Don't forget to make your packing list for any future cons! I have ADD and anytime I forget something, I want to kick myself! Hopefully the packing list will be helpful to you! Love your videos !
That’s so cool! Where do you sign up for art booths and such? I’ve been having a hard time signing up because they’re all currently “going on” but I know I have to be early now to even get in for next year for some conventions 😔
I can only ever dream of hitting 5 figures over a convention. Most I've made was $2k. Though, I have been adjusting my prices on my comics that I sell and adding more variety.
Are these fan art conventions profitable for artist who do original artwork? I come up with my own characters and have my first local market coming up but would like to go to one of these big conventions one day
From my experience you can make it work. It may not be as profitable and it will most likely be a harder sell (the reason fanart does so well is bc everyone already knows and loves the characters) but if you’re ok with that, or, you already have a larger following, you can still get money. A mix of both fanart and OC stuff tends to work out best if you want to sell OC but there’s always a bunch of tables with purely their own stuff too.
Hey girl I’m still in the middle of the video but just wanted to say I love these con vlogs, feels like we’re accompanying you, and today when my day started off wrong, watching these is an even better treat 🪷💞 Side note; If you ever make it to Toronto I’d loooove to meet you! I’m eagerly awaiting my vinyl stickers order in the mail in the meantime (it’s A very ATLA themed one haha)

can we take a second to appreciate the "where have you been loca" flag in the back?? I LOVE IT!!
I’m new here and I saw “I didn’t get punched” in the title and I just have so many questions
LOL not to be that RUclipsr but it refers to my other C2E2 vlog if you’re curious :)
@@JulianneDoodles I’m going to go look for it now, I am so sorry that happened to you it sounds horrible
Glad that you gave Chicago a second chance! The best part about c2e2 is that it's located downtown so it's easy access to Chinatown for good food and other nice restaurants! Glad that it proved a better con than previously

Tell me the name of your shop I’d love to buy some :)
@@JulianneDoodles Omg you definitely don’t have to, I’d love to just send you goodies. But right now it’s called, “JarOfJawbreakers”!
I love watching your videos, thank you for taking us along your journey :)
I’m so happy you had a better experience in Chicago and got to see how great of a city it is!!!

Yay!! Anime Expo!!
Your set up is so cute! Congrats on a successful convention! I ❤ packing cubes too! Your beige bag is soo pretty! Links? 😊

IM SO JEALOUS THAT YOU GOT A RESERVATION AT ALINEA! Literally it’s my dream to go there!
is the music you use in your videos copyright free ? from where ?
I have a subscription to epidemic music :)
I can only ever dream of hitting 5 figures over a convention. Most I've made was $2k. Though, I have been adjusting my prices on my comics that I sell and adding more variety.
Are you still going to Dokomi, Germany? Iirc you mentioned it in a previous vlog 🤔
I have a really thorough Notion AA checklist I’ll send it to you 😂
Mornigggg!!
I hope you loved my city. I wish I would’ve known. I would have loved to meet up. ❤❤❤❤
