 +Everyone was really nice, we did a couple of zine n sticker trades, and we got a surprising amount of fujo talk for a non-fujo-themed event ๐Ÿ˜„ shoutouts to the people who recognized the ai no kusabi print... And shoutouts to my bigass tomato that's finally turned red after a month.

 +I'm kinda laffing that I did all pet doodles and 0 humans (or otherwise? Fursonas?! Fav characters? ), maybe next time I should have an example of a person out too :p or maybe people just love seeing their pets more than themselves!! Still tryna find the balance between displaying my live drawing vs trying to show off my comix!!!

 +Thanks so much to all the super cool vendors with super cool art, and to the super cool staff for making sure we all had food and water and atmosphere ๐Ÿ˜„ and to the happy customers who chain-mailed each other into getting their pet drawn.
