    Wicked Wild treasures here: we made about the same that weekend too! And I also noticed the same problem. We were also located in the hall, and by an entrance of the main dealers room :’) so same issue, people would stop by and then get distracted by the swords and disappear forever.

    This thing is a nightmare. My results with a new blade using 33 force and blade depth of 8 on laminated sticker sheet resulted in half the stickers not cutting through, and the ones that did cut completely, turned out misaligned. I went back to the standard cutting mat, and everything worked perfectly. Not to mention this thing takes up more room than a couch. Sent it back. Glad it's working out for you though.

    Hi, first of all nice vid! 😊 I wanted to ask, you aren't active on Artstation, right? Because a lot of features on Cara are actually very similar or directly inspired by Artstation. Just as a little fun fact. ^^ For example the "Jobs" and "Explore" page are exactly like on Artstation, also that you can add availability on your about page, and the Portfolio options as well. ;) I've already been on Artstation (besides IG, now also Cara), so Cara felt pretty much like home for me right away. 😃 It's like a mix of Artstation and half-IG half-Twitter functionalities. Also since you mentioned DeviantArt: I definitely cannot recommend it anymore, not for artists (which is ironic)! DA has gone really downhill and also very pro ai. Artstation = better than DeviantArt regarding ai, but yeah.. Cara atm = best option for artists who want the social aspect 😉👍

    Wait, people really said that Cara has AI on it bc of Glaze?? 🤔😂 Just bc they don't know what it is? That's ridiculous. In fact I think every artist who's posting online should know what Glaze and Nightshade are by now. For their own art and for feeling safer against ai. 7:04 Oh yeah... DeviantArt has also gone DOWNHILL (and pro ai), I definitely can't recommend it anymore - especially not when you're an artist (ironic i know).

    I just hopped on last week with the big migration. I ADORE THIS APP/SITE! I was afraid that magic would fade away but it's just CONSISTENT! I hard embraced Cara, ended up clearing 99% of my Instagram, and have no regrets whatsoever. I get more engagement and real interraction than I ever did on Insta and I had been somewhat regular for almost 4 years. Thanks for doing this coverage! If you're reading this and on the fence about joining, hop on now! The water's great. :)

      It’s already doing really well and is so small artist friendly. I hate that so many platforms have gotten rid of the options to see “latest” posts because that’s where you going to find those beginner artists looking for motivation or underrated advanced artists who never got a chance to make it a career. And if I wanna look at big artists, I can just move back to the “popular” feed.

      Hey there! My biggest advice would be to have at least 15 unique designs and around 20 of each stocked, order at least 2 months in advance, plan your display before the event, have your stock organized so you can grab them easily, have both a card reader and cash ready and take protein snacks, water and a caffeine drink. It's an older video of mine but I have some tips here too: ua-cam.com/video/zDbOeR0NCBk/v-deo.htmlsi=9MZnw-HxCD55ziv_ I hope you stick around as I have a whole summer lined up with events and will be covering them and also the best of luck at your convention future!

      One of the best things I was ever told was from one of my art school teachers and he explained how even as an experienced artist in his mid 50's, he still had days where he felt his art wasn't good enough or that he wasn't improving. He would look back at his work from his 40's and 30's and would find so much to appreciate in his work from then but also could see how he had improved to the now. Creatives really are our own worse critics and humans in general linger on the bad more than the good, but long story short; keep going and don't pay much mind to the bad thoughts like "never reaching perfection", because every artist at every level has bad days when they feel that but that doesn't actually define their ideas or skills, to those looking at their work or even their future selves.

      I hope you and your daughter have an amazing time! If this year goes well, I'm hoping to travel to other States to sell work.

    🫖Sorry the one market ended up being a bust. Glad you will be attending events that align with you!

      From what I've gathered from both myself and other artist, it's all apart of the gig 😅 just not the scammed part. Thank you though! I'm excited to report on those events

    I am also from Cincinnati and just found your channel. I just did an event at Urban Artifact in College Hill. I thought about doing the Super Cincy Expo but it's the first year and I kind of wanted to see how it goes. I'm still getting the hang of all these events. Best of luck on your events this year.

      Hello local! How was your event at College Hill? Yeah, I'm a little anxious about it being the first year too but I'm hoping with the cool guest they have going it will make people interested to check it out. No matter if it is a flop or success I WILL be reporting on it here!

      @@kirstteas it was good but not as many people as I would have liked. Since I draw in a more kawaii style I have a harder time finding good shows. I will probably drop by the expo I worked for Gamestop for so many years and love videogames, so it's my kind of event. I will stop by your booth and see how it is going if I do.

      ​@stufficorn awww yay I would love that! I know your pain, but I see it as if you make money back to cover the table and gain some followers on any of your media's it's a win!

      @kirstteas this is true. Mainly I love meeting other artists. It's nice to have a network but especially local.
