A four day convention with a lot of traffic, cheap tables, small artist alley, responsive emails, and basically unlimited sales hours - I would definitely recommend this one.

On the off chance anyone is actually reading the description, I want you to know that I will soon be stepping away from conventions. I have a handful left in 2018 and the beginning of 2019, then I'm out for a while.

These cons have been the building blocks for my understanding of the business side of art. I have been exposed to artists and art styles, beliefs, struggles, desires, and everything in between of literally thousands of artists. I have grown through other artists more than I ever could have on my own.

I will always love to travel and I will always love to meet new people and I will always be thankful to everyone who has ever come by any of my tables. But I need to be a better artist before I can do anything further. 

I have spent so much time trying to makes sell-able art. So much time trying to grow my social media following. So much time being a businessman and salesman, that I have ignored improving my art.

Vlogging, traveling, money, subs, followers, while awesome, aren't part of what really matters to me. I've talked to long about needing to better myself as an artist first. Now I have to nut up and just fucking do it. Much love.
