CMC Oberhausen and Leipzig Art Days

31. Juli 2024

A short look back.

Alrighty, it has been a busy few weeks and I honestly didn't really have the time to settle down to write actually about it. So a little look back:


CMC Oberhausen was at the end of the day ok. It did cover all my costs but the day didn't start off well.

The organization had put us directly in front of a column that had tables attached to it. I literally had about 30cm of space behind my table to actually stand there. The chairs? No chance they had space there. I of course directly went to the head of the organization and the response I got was "suck it up". Him telling me he can't do jack (as we found out the tables were interconnected) I turned around and "sucked it up" to deal with the situation. He comes after me and tells me he'd blacklist me for my "hissy" behavior. I was surprised. I mean I pay HIM for a service that wasn't properly provided. I was lucky that my desk neighbor had rented 3 tables at once and let me sit/stand on her side a bit as well.


How about the crowd?

It was more crowded than Köln for sure but the people seemed appalled at the prices in general. I mean... why do you pay an entrance fee to a "Comic and Manga Con"? Some people literally bitched about the prices (not mine but in general) and in general I wondered what the hell they were even doing there. I did my schtick and got my costs in for sure but it feels like this particular gig is no longer worth my time.


I got to meet some amazing people that I am meeting at other events and can't wait to see them there again :D I got more ideas for more merch (as if I had a hard time getting more ideas :D :D damn I hope I will be able to live off of this some day!!).


Leipzig Art Days!


So normally I'd write this CMC thing directly after buuuut I was hellbent on preparing another bookmark design and some stickers for Leipzig. And that is what I literally did.


I made my dragon and my three little cats in the box stickers and I literally was cutting them on Thursday evening and stamping my logo on the back. We hit the road at around 6 am and took our time. We got lucky and were able to check in our hotel early and got to explore Leipzig a bit. Of course I was totally pooped and we got back earlier to the hotel than expected but it was still a great experience.


It was pouring in the morning but we still walked with our stuff (as the hotel was really close). The build up was quick and at first it was a bit slow but we still made some good sales. In the evening we walked around Leipzig a bit more but not much thanks to the rain. Second day was a tad slower but not too much. I even broke my total amount earned at an event. I just found it sad that I didn't get to sell my prints directly. I mean it was an ART fair. Just not my crowd apparently.


Now I have a weekend of break and then off to contaku!

Too many ideas, too little time.
