Hey guys! Welcome to another convention video! It's nice to be posting more regularly again eheh
In this one we go to London where I took part on the Artist Alley for MCM Comic Con! It was my best event so far, everyone was SUPER nice and I had the best time.
I share a bit of making the products but also some tips and must haves for conventions and art markets! I've been doing them now for over 3 years and conventions for a full year, so I learned a lot along the way. Hope some of the things I share will help you taking part of a future Artist Alley or market!

⭐ ABOUT ME: ⭐
Hi there! My name is Beatriz Penas and I'm a portuguese illustrator, nice to meet you! I've been taking my illustration more seriously and making a business out of it since the beggining of 2019. I'm always trying to create more illustrations and more products and I thought it would be nice to share my process! Hope you like my vídeos and my work.
Hi Dear- I love your illustration. Just a note, I see u are wearing a medical mask while using resin. If you are wearing a mask for the resin process, you'll need a solvent grade respirator. The medical mask will only protect you from liquid splashes and maybe some dust particles in your work space- but not the solvents, which I think is the danger point of resin. I'm not an expert but do check the box on the masks to make sure you are obtaining the protection you need. Your health is very important!
Hey lovely! Thank you so much for your concern 🤗 I know this but my big 3M mask was in need of new filters and I had to hear something while waiting for them to arrive 😭 I couldn’t use the old ones, the smell was really bad eheh.
Thank you for letting me know! I’ll be more conscious of sharing and letting everyone know while I film because I know the dangers but some people might not know 💛
I just did my first big convention, it was in my city, over 2 days, and I had 2 helpers and I was absolutely wiped out afterwards! The fact that you still have energy to walk around London after doing that massive amount of work on your own is incredible to me! I hope your weekend was very very successful :D
I was just talking about that with another artist this week! I’ve done a lot of cons this year and I feel like I’ve been getting a lot better taking care of myself during the weekends and it shows on how faster I can recover 🤗 I slept a lot on the Monday after btw 😂
It was a lovely con 🤗
Enjoyed this vlog a lot. It was fun to see a bit during the event. Glad you did so well!
Thank you!! I’m trying my best to film a bit more outside the studio 😂
Your vid so productive n warm can’t wait till ur next one
Thank you so much for watching :D
so many fantastic tips, loved the video ❤❤
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed 🥹💛
I have watched your videos for years. Congratulations on such achievements!
One point that you will notice, while your printed bags are so cute and your customers will think so too, it will be garbage the moment the contents is removed. For the purpose of keeping your cost low, consider a customized logo stamp using only yellow or blue ink. It won’t put the wear and tear on your printer or pocket but will take the same time and effort. Another idea is keep the bag white and use your logo sticker to close when the purchase is complete. That will take less time and expense.
Thank you so much!! I gave up on printing them.. I'm making a stamp next week and now I use a sticker ehehe. Thank you for the feedback and ideas! :D
omg i watched this because i was curious if i'd be in it, AND I AM!!! at 28:48, i'm the purple person HAHA
ur art is so cute!! loved watching the vlog!
Aaaaaah that’s so cool!!! Sorry for the blur eheh, just wanted to respect everyone’s privacy 🥰 thank you for stopping by 💛
Não sabia que tinhas estado cá 🥲 Fico feliz que tenha corrido bem 💕✨
E eu nem sabia que estavas aí!! 😂 vou outra vez em janeiro à MegaCon!
Sim fiquei mesmo contente 🥹
Niceee 💗💗 sim eu vivo cá ☺️ avisa da próxima vez! Gostava de te ver 🥰
@@InesAndiasem janeiro envio mensagem 🥰
What a fantastic video!! Love watching vlogs while doing some of my own art things!
How did you find the process was for going to London to sell now that Brexit has happened? I've been wanting to get back to London but I'm scared that there's visa requirements but the govt gave me absolutely no answers... How was it for you to get through customs?
Also I noticed you on the floor plan for Facts in April, hoping to meet you there!
Opaaa tu inspiras tanto nestes videos, não tenho visto muito porque fico triste porque gostava de ser tão produtiva e bem sucedida como tu 💖 mas quando estou com o mood de me inspirar, estes videos são tao bons!!🙌🏻 Obrigada fofa! Já agora se fores a alguma convenção aqui em Portugal e precisares de ajuda dá o toque para ver se posso ir contigo e ajudar-te, porque gostava muito de ir contigo e ter essa experiência também😊
A great vlog as usual.❤
By the way, can you show us how you sublimate the socks? Thanks!
I have a full tutorial on that, did it a while ago 🤗 it’s on my tutorial playlist!
Experimenta usar sacos de vácuo. O peso pode até ser o mesmo mas o espaço é muito menor. Mesmo que não tenhas um aspirador para "sugar" o ar, usas a técnica do "sentar em cima" que funciona na mesma.
O pior é que o peso já vai no máximo, mesmo com as malas não cheias 😂😂 mas tenho de experimentar a ver se ajuda alguma coisa 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Beatriz! Thank you so much for making a video for MCM London. I'm hoping to join them in October this year, but I have no idea if we require a Visa to join an artist alley in London as an artist :')
Which UK Visa did you apply? Any info would be very much appreciated To T
Hello aPenas, I really love your videos and your designs that I have purchased. I have a question, which video did you show creating you sock hangers.
Keep up the fantastic work and designs. Ms "Sam" in TN - USA💕
Hiii! Maybe two or three videos ago? I haven’t post much lately 😂 thank you for watching 💛
I am coming to Portugal in 2 weeks
Yay!! Hope you love it here 🤗
Can you do a video on your sock sublimation
I have one on my Tutorials playlist 💛
I am going to an event soon in the uk to vend and I was wondering if you had to fill something for customs at your arrival or before departure ? Sorry if it’s a bit too specific 😅
Hiii! You can pay for VAT in advance online :) They have all the info in the government website. Good luck!
Hey thanks fo the content. I am curious if we need to apply for any licenses to sell stuff in UK.after brexit
It all depends on your situation and country of origin, I can’t give legal advice! I checked all the info on their website 🥰
It’s nice to see those suitcases nearly empty 😉
Right??? Best feeling 😂
Olá! Vai estar na Comic Con no Porto no proximo ano?
Ola! Vou sim! 🤗
Se essa resina UV é como a das impressoras 3d, precisas de um "respirator", uma máscara específica (tenta ver no Leroy), uma máscara cirúrgica não chega ;)
Eu sei!! Mas tenho de mudar os filtros da minha da 3M, antes assim que nada 🥲 já encomendei novos filtros, os outros já faziam pior do que ajudavam 😂
@@aPenasIllustrator essa só te protege contra salpicos 😅
TIP: put you name on the yellow jacket
I only have to use it for the mounting and then I can take it off and putting it away eheh 🤗
@@aPenasIllustrator its for the next time when you mucht use.
☹️ "Promo SM"
Anh? 😅
