  • Join me behind the scenes as I prep for my first convention! In this video I show you how I prepared, what display items I bought for my artist alley setup, and at the end we also go through how much money I made.
    MegaCon is held at the ExCel Centre near the London docklands. This was its first year in London so I was really excited to check it out. I was terrified the entire time, haha. But it was a really cool experience and I'm already excited for the 2025 event.
    I hope this video brought you joy! Big hugs, - Evy

    Your work is absolutely beautiful and so is your character! It takes a lot to be this transparent and so content at the same time. We all learn from our mistakes and I pray the next time is that much better! Maybe try an event that isn’t right after Christmas etc so there should be looser pockets, allowing people to actually appreciate and support your business as it should be supported. Keep up the amazing work❤

      You are so kind, thank you!!! 💚 That honestly means a lot to me. And I think you're absolutely right about the time of year, January is pretty rough financially. I have two bigger ones coming up in July so fingers crossed they do better 🥳💚

    Megacon was definitely tough for most of the artists I talked to at the event and after, but since it was only the first year I definitely feel like it’s going to get better for future!
    It was amazing meeting you for the first time and seeing your work all together in-person! The whole setup was just so colourful and happy!
    Thank you so much again for my little dumbo octopus too, he is sitting on my peg board protecting my mini-pins at the moment 😆

      It was oh so nice to finally meet you in person! I have your sweet crochet fish hanging over my art desk now, he always makes me smile. And low key makes me jealous of those even stitches, I don't know how you do it!😆 Really excited for next year, I think it's gonna grow quickly. But even if it doesn't, I don't think I could resist exhibiting again. The atmosphere was just so nice!
