      Ah thanks! I've got to credit JellieBee from here on youtube, I got the idea from one of her videos. I'm really glad I've started offering them at shows whenever I have some not-quite-perfect stock to bag up, they're quick to put together and always pretty popular :)

    great behind the scenes video ^_^ I love seeing how other artists organize their displays and products behind the table :)

    in stead of safety pins, You can use magnets to hold the signage on the front of your cloth.

    The spoonflower samples are terrific! I have done dozens of shows and signage is soooo important. Print instead of hand write them.

    Hey thank you for posting this. I'm actually trying to get ready/set up for a table of my own and have been researching what I should do/bring. I'm probably also going to make some videos concerning conventions because of all the research I've done for it . Again thank you for posting this!

    • @SweetIngenuity
      @SweetIngenuity  Před 7 lety

      Congrats, I hope your show goes well! Research beforehand certainly helps make that first show easier, and I'm sure a lot of people would love to see a video about what works/doesn't work for you :)

      Ah, thank you so much! I always feel like my voiceovers are super awkward, so I'm glad they don't sound that way as much to others :P I'll definitely try and put together more videos on those topics :)

    So helpful, thankyou!! One thing I can't figure out is how people get the wire cube stacks to stay in place without wobbling. Mine are super wobbly! They will fall apart at the slightest movement.

    • @SweetIngenuity
      @SweetIngenuity  Před 6 lety +3

      I had that problem with my first set too >__< I think it depends a bit on the brand you got, but one thing I've seen a lot of artists do is use zip ties/string/wire to attach the squares along the sides, adding extra support beyond the corner brackets. It's a bit hard to explain, but definitely ask other cube-using artists at your next con if they use extra supports, and if you can take a look ^__^

    your drawing style is great, not like that of Happy Charms, that the only difference in his drawings are the eyes, he has no creativity
    You should have more subscribers

    I have a question about permits and of the such. Did you need to have a permit or business license before hand on your own or did the Artist Alley have the paperwork and permits for the artist to fill out? Copyright stuff or making a copyright of your work and or artist brand name were those needed as well?Trying research and such before I go to one down the road.

    • @SweetIngenuity
      @SweetIngenuity  Před 7 lety +2

      The need for permits varies greatly between regions. Here in Ottawa, Canada, they aren't required for small non-food, non-cosmetics vendors who are selling at events, but other places may have different laws. It's best to check with the cons you're considering attending to see what paperwork you might require.
      By international copyright law, you automatically own the copyright to any artistic work you create (with certain exceptions). Registering a copyright is merely helpful in case you ever need to go to court to defend it. I'm not a lawyer, but given the fees involved with copyright registration, it isn't something I'd generally recommend to a new artist; just keep sketches and the original files from your work on the off chance you ever need to prove that you drew something.
      Good luck!

    I'm just beginning to try doing a booth, for prep, how many prints should I buy if I'm not super well established?

    • @roselizanheik1222
      @roselizanheik1222 Před 5 lety +3

      Im in the same boat. But i was thinking at least 10 prints each (maybe for each day) and maybe 5 prints for some that you think might not sell. Ive never done a convention before but thought i would share my idea what i was thinking so far. Good luck!

    • @PixelDoodles

      I’m late but I recommend about 5 to start of. It’s better to sell out rather than have a lot left over

    Hi!! I have a question ^^; I was wondering how many prints I should make of a piece (of artwork)? In the future, I want to get a booth at comicpalooza- I also want to sell artwork outside in a busy area of my state.. I am currently searching up things for a setup and stuff I would need... but don’t know how many prints should be made for a single piece?💧

    • @SweetIngenuity
      @SweetIngenuity  Před 4 lety +1

      I'd recommend printing 3-7 copies of each print for your first show, less than you might think! Even my most popular prints rarely sell more than 10 copies at a really busy show, I'm more likely to sell 1-2 copies each of several different prints.

      Sweet Ingenuity Thank you so much!! I will write this down to remember!

  • @lorenzoaparicio4774

    As an artist who sells many different products how many of each product should you bring to a con to ensure you have enough ??

    • @SweetIngenuity
      @SweetIngenuity  Před 6 lety +1

      I usually bring about 5-10 of each print, 10-18 of each card, 8-15 of each pin button, and 1-8 of everything else. I sometimes have one or maybe two items sell out near the end of the last day, but I usually have plenty of leftovers for Etsy and the next con :) Most artists I've talked to have similar numbers; 5-15 of most things, maybe up to 20 for really popular stuff or just 1 or 2 of something big that's hard to transport or doesn't sell often (like my mugs).
