- Back at anime cons, and what better way to do so than at Anime Expo Chibi in Ontario, CA! I debuted the crewneck sweaters and new pin designs, and did well at AX Chibi. However, it wasn't easy with the things that took place this weekend 😅 #AnimeExpoChibi #AXChibi #artistalley

As an artist who traveled from NorCal, it ended up being whatever for me LOL. I’m definitely not mad though! Based on what other NorCal artists told me, I wasn’t expecting too much and instead turned this into a free vacation 😛 but it was so cool to explore and experience a new market and demographic! I learned a ton and left feeling super inspired by other brands and artists. And as always, it’s nice to see you and chat for a bit ❤ (SORRY FOR INTERRUPTING YOUR VLOG 😫)
Omg no, I’M sorry 😭 I realized after the fact that it was rude of me to keep going and I should have just continued filming after talking to you 😅 it was so good to see you in a SoCal con!!
So happy I got to meet and give you the painting at anime expo chibi! :) I flew from Mississippi to LA for a festival and drove an extra 2 hours just to see you and get back in time for the festival!! Hope you enjoyed the painting ❤️
Oh wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by again!!
Just recently found ur channel, and it’s been great to learn about cons from an artists perspective! I want to table within the next year or so, so these videos really help! Looking at local cons first before I go big to other states lol😊
Glad these videos have been helpful for you!
I was so glad I got to go to AX chibi and bought your ita bag with a couple other items. The free tote bag was just an extra bonus! Keep up the great work! 😊
Ahhh thank you so much for your support 😭💖
Love the longer vlogs!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying them 🥹
Thank you CZcams algorithm for showing me your channel! Your display was soo cute and your ita bags are adorable!! Liked and subscribed ^_^
love your videos, always watch them with breakfast ❤❤
Thank you so much for watching!
I hope you had a great japan trip! It’s nice to see you back in the con world again LOL 💜
Thank you so much! I had an amazing time, definitely needed it 😅
if you can, I would love if you liked the place where you get your event insurance!
I cant seem to find it in your description.
Just linked it!
This setup is so appealing, THE BRANDING * *chefs kiss* *
Ahhhh thank you 🥹💖💖
Thanks for the informative vlog! I was looking into this convention but opted out since I'm out of state and have to ship freight but it's interesting to see the experience from a local artist!
Thank you for watching! I would definitely wait to see how this con will grow especially since you're out of state and you have a pretty big setup. (I'm also a fan and own some of your bread merch and recently got your strawberry bunny cardigan at ANYC hehe)
always a good reunion w you maci C:
Until we see each other again at ALA :,-)
We have been trying to do food truck events and they've really fallen short since I feel that people end up spending all their cash on tickets + expensive food and done come expecting to buy merch. Foodieland is also coming to our city next year for the first time and we've been really hesitant on signing up...
Good review!! If i make it to chibi, i think i would fly to it to try and hoping that they'll see my name for future con, especially for AX.
Thanks for watching!
Sheesh I’m so sorry they did everyone dirty with the tables… seems like a communication issue on their part.
I wonder too if the lack of people or sales is due to the economy. When I went to a smaller con in October I spent very little, just bought a couple of stickers, a plushie, a keychain and a pin. I would have loved to buy more, but I simply can’t afford it right now.
It may also be the economy, I'm glad I did a bit better than last year but it might have also been due to my new items. I did hear a lot of artists not do so well at this event compared to last year
@@Mualcaina yeah I know the few events and cons I went to, I was very strict and spent a lot less and on lower cost goods. It’s really tough.
The whole table situation was a big ick for me as well!!! Def not worth it for paying extra. I emailed after the fact but yeah prob going up to service first was smarter! I ended up not displaying all of my merch 😮💨
Oh no 😭 I'm so sorry about that, it really sucks and I hope they do something about it
def sounds like icky bad vibes exp with the tables :cc rlly hope y'all get some sort of compensation from them since it was tech a breach of contract ://
@@drawnbyivy I hope so too 😅
I actually got rejected originally but I was reached out to about extra spaces but they quoted me $750 so I opted to not do it (which now makes sense it was a exhibitor table they were offering me) But when I visited with my friend, it was hot in the AA and I had to step out early idk if you felt that either but man the air circulation was bad for me in that tent
Yeah the circulation wasn’t that great 😅 it wasn’t too bad for us in the back since one of the nearby exits was open, so there was some air coming through. But it felt stuffy if you walked around the tent
i went to your booth but u were not there... i hope u did ok! i actually didnt make back my expenses ;-; but it was nice going to cali for the first time tho
Oh no! I was definitely running around at some points 😅 hope future cons are better for you
My guess is that not a lot people went this year cause of Anime Pasadena that happened a week before AXChibi.
Definitely agree with that
Watching this wearing my crew neck from you LOL
Omg amazing HAHA
