So, the Toronto Fan Expo has come to a close, and
I am feeling so grateful to have had the opportunity
to participate. Being my first time on the other side
of the table, I can say I learned a lot, and had an
absolute blast. There were so many awesome people
in attendance this year, and it was such a pleasure
chatting with all of them.
I was especially taken by how appreciative people were
of my art. I don't mean that they simply liked it, but that
they actually thanked me for doing it! It blew me away!
Honestly, this is what I do to keep sane, but the enthusiasm
for my work was quite stunning. And I am so appreciative
of all the support and kind words shared by complete
strangers. It has definitely increased my drive to create.
If for nothing else, than to not let anyone down!
Now that the show's over, I have a TON of work ahead
of me. I've been invited to vend at a handful of other
events. So I'll a be looking into the viability of participating
in those. I'll keep you posted as to where you can find me
again. >.o I'm also looking at selling my stuff through a
couple of stores in my neighborhood. Again, you'll know as I
know. Lastly, I did a lot of networking at the show. So,
I'll be following up on those fronts to see what can come
of it.
Overall, I'd say the show was a resounding success. So
THANK YOU to everyone who helped make it so. Whether
you were among those I coerced into working insane hours with
me to help with preparations, or you were my awesome neighbors
at the show who made for excellent company, or YOU, the fan,
who is the whole reason the Fan EXPO is worth coming to
in the first place. Whoever you are, THANK YOU for your
support. I promise, I'll keep it coming.
