Feb. 25th, 2016 11:44 amThe convention went … surprisingly well! The first four hours were a bust. I was giving serious reconsideration to my artistic paper cut career, and then BAM! Someone bought two. Then someone else bought one. And another and another! All told I sold 23 pieces!! Yay!
Now I am setting my sights higher on Comic Cons. But do you wanna know what sucks? I can't do any American ones! I've done some research, and it is illegal for me to take my artwork down to the States (I'm in Canada) and sell it. I can go down with a portfolio and get people to commission me, but I can't take and sell in one trip. grrrr
That's okay, there's still 10 or so comic conventions here in Canada, so I will make due.
In the meantime, I've done some more cuts (gotta re-stock!) and I've also tried my hand (with limited success) at paper sculpting. omg so hard!
The Scully was a re-do for someone. I brought two Mulders and only one Scully, so they paid me to make them the set. ;) And yes, I realize that the letters are crooked in the Paper View sculpture. Sadly, I didn't realize it until I was already done. grrrr. Straight lines! Who needs them?
I also made a few cuts AT the convention, but they're boxed up downstairs, so I haven't photographed them yet.
