I'm trying to gauge interest in something less about fandoms and shows and more about the attendees and their (potential) dreams.
Would there be interest in something like this? Are there panels like this already offered?
Artist Alley Table 101.
For anyone who's ever wanted to sell their art. Work that artist alley table and succeed in the three core areas of any Artist Alley experience: make money, make friends, and make a splash! Sarah Martinez and Kevin Bolk of Interrobang Studios have spent years ironing out the kinks of a successful convention appearance. Let Sarah help you construct a concrete game plan for your artist alley table at this con or the next one. Get a helping hand with the numbers: expenses, hidden costs, and sales goals. You'll be walked through pre-con planning, inventory considerations, displays, salesmanship, and artist alley etiquette. A must-see panel for any budding artist.
Kevin and I have put together checklists, simple guides, and other physical memory aids for convention prep and execution. When you're tired, hungry, and going to your third (or first!) convention in as many weekends, you want to know that you've got your ducks in a row. I'd love to share copies of our materials, the things we've learned at cons (both anime and non), and help other budding artists avoid learning unpleasant things the hard/expensive way.
