artist alley vlog... but it's just me yapping for 50 minutes. (bay area)

This last weekend, we tackled the final Anime Impulse show of the 2024 year, with the Bay Area show at the San Mateo Convention Center (the fairgrounds). After a successful 2023 show, the anime convention made its return on October 12th and 13th of this year, and I had the opportunity of being an artist in the amazing artist alley. I haven't vlogged in a minute, so here's a 50 minute special segment of me yapping... hopefully you enjoy while you work?

I'm an Asian American creative who just graduated from college and is trying to live their childhood dream of turning art into their career! I started my tabling journey a year ago, and it's been a wild ride so far! Join me as I learn how to navigate the Artist Alley world, learn new techniques to improve my little shop, share tips on my methods, and create more art to spread into the world! :D
