Arisia Recap

[mizarchivist]

Highlights include:

• Naughty Nurse photo shoot - and 105 pints of blood donated for the whole weekend- new record, I think. We rule, fandom!
• Seeing kgola for the first time in a year (others as well, but this was a notable for me)
• Acquiring a cavalier/pirate hat to go with the rest of the kickass outfit (lacking good picture of it still- will come eventually) Proof courtesy of ahf .
• Having so many people come up to me to say they'd seen my work in the art show. Unlike other years, I had a full table, a good covering for it, and a real sign that had my name on it.
• Consequently, I sold 8 pieces- a new record for me. 12% of the total brought. Previous occasions, I'd sold magnets, but not this time. This year it was tins and spheres and one set of Cthulhu earrings.
• Not melting down before the end of Sunday night. As expected, my energy is somewhat lacking today, but I knew this would be so and I am taking tomorrow off, too.

Obviously there was more than that, but this was the news fit to print. Picture gallery.

Of the fabulous Nurses, I'd say 'We rule fandom!' comma excised, applies too.

And big congrats on your art auction sells. That must've felt terrific. The bigger pieces are even more stunning up close.

Super, thanks for asking :)

Thanks and thanks-
The art is very much about the texture, so photographs can only do so much.

yay, pirate costume! Glad the skirt worked out.

Question:
Is there a list somewhere of all the artists in the art show?
I grabbed business cards from some artists I wanted to look up, but now can't find them.

There's a list here: http://2009.arisia.org/ArtShow at the bottom. I still have my map of the room that shows where everyone was.

Glad you came through on sales - that's great! Now people need to start remembering your name and looking for you year-over-year. I know there are certain artists I always see in the show and that's cool.

I'm horrified by the pic of myself and Pygment. I look... I dunno. Doofy at best. On the other hand, your pic of Kat's ass may be better than mine - I haven't uploaded and checked, yet.

Do you want me to take it down?

[drwex]

Nope, but thank you for offering. It is what it is.
