I'm starting a new shop. so some items I sell here at conventions might be at this shop too!

Ok technically I get Exhibitor Booths in Vendor halls. but I'm still an artist selling at cons. I simply outgrew a small Artist Alley table. plus for like 6 to of the 8 years I was in Artist Alley. So point is. If you can make a successful career in Artist Alley - most often than not - you might find yourself to be an Artist getting booths just by doing it so long and expanding. 💙✨ I didn't want to give the wrong impression that I was a distributor for some company as Vendors traditionally are thought to.

Man I desperately need a camera or a new phone. tried running through updates and turns out my phone camera (which is all I got) really truly is. just. that. bad. so haha bare with the like 2010 looking grain on this footage 🤡😂

I hoped anyone interested in Vending learned something from this vlog and got some semblance of advice. I don't think I will vlog all of my conventions- but I think I might vlog more as well. I gave away some little vendor secrets but there's so much to this stuff that I barley scrapped the iceberg or how deep being a full time vendor as a career goes. Just like any career there's gonna be a LOT to it. So I think whenever/ifever I do more Artist Vendor vlogs- I think I'll sprinkle in new bits of advice with each video. Both so I don't repeat redundency but also so people learn something new every time because otherwise the video would be like 10 hours long lol

I also realized looking back at all the footage when editing. that... I am such a little goblin. I know a lot of people play up their attitudes for youtube but I literally am just so unhinged. I vlogged this 90% of the time all alone. So you are seeing my full unfiltered self just making little voices and faces and oh my god I'm crazy. Anytime I found something cringy- I thought about cutting it cuz I'm weird - but then I realized that's stupid and I shouldn't be embarrassed for being my funky self. so I opped to make sure to keep it all lol. no matter how cringy humor it is.
--------------------------------------------
I usually try not to include such horrible atrocities of the world on my YouTube channel. I usually try to keep my youtube channel as a break or breath of fresh air from all the chaos of the world and internet. -But on the day of the super bowl where tragedy struck for the whole world to notice- I was vlogging that same day completely unaware of what was going on with Palestinian citizens and refugees. and the bombing... I'm so sorry. It just feels wrong not to address the overlap. That day will go down in history.
For anyone willing or wanting to help. This link has a bunch of different charities attached and information on how they help on this site. I thought a spread would be best because it gives flexibility to the donor but it should all go to help those effected in the crisis. I wish I was one of those bigger youtubers that could donate a ton. but sadly I'm not. :C so I thought a mention and small donation from myself was the least I could do. I'm sorry I can't do more.
