Thank you!! :D Aah too bad about the Manchester con. >_< Maybe next year... :^)
I print them on Catprint's label paper option! They come out pretty nice, and they're pretty cheap if you print a lot of different designs on a large sheet of paper. :D Apparently Catprint even does die-lines (?) for you too, but I haven't really figured out how to do that yet on the site yet. For the moment, I just cut them myself. -u-/
I also bought a cheap stickermaker for when I don't have time to order off of catprint. These stickers aren't as nice of quality because I just computer paper, but they're still cute. :D
There's probably better sticker options than this, but that's what I do. ;o

That all sounds like great news! Congrats on the commissions and getting a place on the artists alley! Aha I tried to get a table myself this year in Manchester, but they all got booked pretty much instantly, and also the prices went up sooo never mind.
I'm curious though, how do you made your stickers? Do you print onto sticker paper, or do you have a special print company you can go to? Either way they sound fun ^^

PROBABLY BOTH STRESSFUL AND FULFILLING, YEP... In addition to art stuff, I'm trying to finally get my license this summer so I don't have to keep on asking my parents and sisters for rides. orz
I've just recently been trying to do artist alleys. ;u;7 IT'S ALL VERY CONFUSING FOR ME... BUT I THINK I'M SLOWLY UNDERSTANDING;;;
Wow! You sound like you are gonna have a fulfilling (maybe a bit stressful?) summer! It's great you got into artist alley! O.O I have never attempted to do such a thing so I dunno how it works at all! O.O
Also that's pretteh awesome getting commissions and getting all dis stuff!
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. ;u;7 But nothing will get around the fact that popular stuff will sell better, so I need to make more of that too.
Sure, feel free to ask anytime! :D I'm no expert because I've only done one con before this, but I can at least help out. You can also check what cons exist by state using this website! They don't have some of the really small cons, but it's still useful. :D
I'm afraid I won't be going to DC any time soon, but good luck!!!!!!!!!!
I actually think it's good that you're adding art from a lesser-known anime because that way die-hard fans will buy it when they don't see official stuff.
Honestly, I have a million questions I want to ask because I'd like to sell my art at a con next year. It would probably be a small-time con since I'm not that great an artist. Besides, I like participating at ACen to much to just sit at a booth. I just don't know what cons are out there. @_@
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
