Tekko 2024
Posted by Alesia Gitter on
Normally I was picking events based on locations where I had friends I could visit. I didn't think I knew anyone in PA at the time I signed up for this (apparently one of my WoW friends lived here though and I was like oh yeah much later lol). Actually, I only even registered because people said it was a good event. I had never been to Pennsylvania any time previously either. It's just one of those states I had no reason to visit.Applications had a super short window. I applied on Nov 11, 2023 within the tiny window of...
Furry Migration 2024
Posted by Alesia Gitter on
I was told at some point in 2023 that my products would do really well at a furry convention. We have a local one in Minnesota called Furry Migration, so I opted to go ahead and try it out. I applied January 21 for dealers as the way the artist alley works is much different than other conventions. If I understand it correctly, you can show up for a table or if you apply you have to be doing commissions or something? I don't remember. I was accepted into the dealers den in May. Since I'm local I didn't have...
Madison Comic & Pop Culture Expo 2024
Posted by Alesia Gitter on
This event was something I signed up for rather impulsively since many of my artist friends were attending already. I grabbed a random hotel in Stoughton (which I checked out on the way back from Tekko in July) since all the Madison hotels were either booked full or very expensive. I paid for my table June 4th, so basically right after I got back from Nashville Comicon.So around July, they sent an email mentioning hotels being booked out due to Alabama football stuff which explained also why I couldn't find a hotel easily at the time I was looking. They...
2D Con 2024

So I adore Kikicraft so much and I have been so excited for this event for months thanks to her! I will say that August has been a bundle of chaos for me with medical issues, trying to get back into shape, everything in my house breaking, trying to get business stuff prepped and organized, family visiting from out of state, back to school prep and my daughter's swim team starting back up.I was also unable to actually use their emails because I have a teenager who clicks all the things, and a husband who disables ads and trackers through whatever crazy...
Animate! & Nightmare Weekend Des Moines 2024
Posted by Alesia Gitter on
So this event I applied to in December 2023 and got accepted in January 2024. I was not aware at the time this was a second year event even until I got there the weekend of. Frankly, it didn't matter. This event felt so professional I never would have guessed it was only a second year event.They charge you upon being accepted. I also didn't realize until I arrived that I got an extra badge for some reason? I'll get to that later but just know the table usually comes with 2 badges and 2 chairs. Jennifer Sample of Dragon...
