It’s been a year since my last ‘creative crunchtime’. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to attend Otakon (the gi-normous Anime convention in Baltimore) last May, but something suddenly bit me in the rear and I decided to go crazy and rent an art table there. It was fun and an interesting experience, but my art didn’t really go over as well as I’d hoped, especially since I went nuts trying to prepare for it (I really did spend more money on materials than I made back… I’m not a business major, OK!?!). Drove my boyfriend crazy asking, “Could you print like 25 more of this drawing? Could you print like 10 more pages of bookmarks? Could you please print like 8 million business cards! Kthanksbye!”
Well none of that same brand of madness this time around… or so I’ve promised myself. We’ll be attending Anthrocon this year instead of Otakon, which is a much smaller convention but is still the Mecca of furry cons. And before you get dumb ideas in your head, don’t judge “furries” by what you watch on CSI. Honestly. Shame on you and your network television.
So I’ll be doing a lot of drawing and posting my sketches here in the next couple of weeks. I’ll be sure to take pictures too. One of my main goals is to promote my Sonic fan site… this will sort of make or break the amount of effort I put into it depending on the response I get at the con.
Either way, should be an exciting experience!
