Anybody here going to Fanime? I am. I'm all for having fun instead of portfolio reviews like i did at Wondercon.

On the wrong side of the world for me :(

I LOVE Fanime. I go every year. Are you going to be in artists alley?

as in having a table at fanime and selling commisions there? no. As in hanging out and buying sketchbooks from people in artists alley? yes.

I'm going!  This'll be my first year with a table in Artist's Alley.  Now if only I can (re)figure out my printer settings so my prints look right.

Edit: I take that back.  I just - as in the email just came in - got notified that I'm in the "lottery", so I may or may not have a table.

Good luck with getting the table Dragonimp.

I applied to host a panel on art portfolios. I held the same panel last year and it went very well. Unfortunately, I applied too late this year and the panel slots are all full :C

I'll definitely be stopping by artists alley. Perhaps we should have a PaperDemon meet up or something? I haven't looked at the schedule yet but I should look soon and see what times I'm best available.

Wow- American con tables must fill up fast. I wish NZ cons were so organised. They just charge us heaps and deafen us by wrestling cause apparently local artists don't rate high enough. It makes me sick how badly were' treated here. We're the most unique thing at that damn con :/

I got in!  Just got the confirmation email.  Now back to fighting with the printer.

Fanime has actually been pretty disorganized the last few years, especially with Artists Alley and the Art Gallery.  It's been getting annoying.

Oh, wow! Good on you! 

Oh- I bet if you went to Armageddon you'd think there's heaps of organisation with your con. I didnt' know where I was sitting till the day before so couldn't advertise my location to anyone, they deafened us by wrestling, and we ALL paid $280NZD for our spot, but the spots were first in first served. If I arrived half an hour earlier, I wouldn't have been deaf, wouldn't have made a $100 loss on my stall and wouldn't have been deafened :/ That experience put me off NZ's major con. I'm now only considering Australian cons which is sad cause it costs ALOT more to go to them let alone the stall cost :(

what do you expect? they work for free! all they get is to go to the con for free. i can understand why fanime's staff is getting lazier and lazier each year. just remember...they work for free. they don't profit off of fanime either i think.
