I feel like small markets are great for new folks trying to get their name out, but once you have a ton of followers, hopefully an online store would also be profitable. Right now I barely make any online sales so i look forward to big markets. It'd be so lonely just sitting behind the computer though. Meeting people at markets is so social and fun! Love that you did so well at Vancoufur! Excited to see you again! (Hallo artist alley lead here) Thanks for all this helpful info!
Thanks for always being so inspiring! You inspired me to try selling at markets last year and I ended up doing 22 and really loving it! Definitely feels like throwing spaghetti at a wall sometimes, but I’ve learned a lot.
Lemon Pig is fantastic haha Thanks so much for this breakdown! It really is an eyeopener. I'm surprised that anime shows do less than niche for you! I would have thought it would have been the other way around, huh! That's really cool. The social aspects of markets is so true! I think I've met more people in my realm (artists, pop-culture enthusiasts) than I have in my entire life haha Definitely find where your people are. Here's to 2025!
I really don’t know what my anime con curse is about, but it is what it is! Makes me wonder if there are some niche shows worth traveling to, as I did all pop culture and anime travel shows last year! Wishing you an awesome 2025 and can’t wait to hear about what you accomplish 😊🙏💗
All awesome advice. Also love your haircut and colors! Also ewww taxes... I'm starting an online shop and I do feel like it's going to be slow build up because people are more likely to buy art in person at events. And I have no confidence in getting into most of them as the competition to get in has skyrockets over the years.

That is legendary for a first year!! You’re killing it! Best of luck in 2025!
Thanks so much for being so transparent with your finances in terms of markets with us!

for magnets, I've gotten the avery magnet sheets off amazon for a decent price, worth it if you're willing to print them yourself
Great tip, thank you!! Reminds me that you can actually turn stickers into magnets, simply by sticking and cutting on magnet sheets!
Lemon Pig!?!?! Why have I never heard of that before????
My absolute favourite nonsense tradition hahaha!! The world needs more silly!
What your expectations for this year
