So far I'm only confirmed at two conventions:

I'm also hoping to attend TCAF and possibly help with a friend's table!

I'll be at AMA-Con this year, sharing a table with a friend who is coming out from Phoenix, AZ for the event.
AMA-Con info can be found here: AMA-Con 2016

Not sure yet what all I will have but if anyone in the Texas Plains area (near Amarillo) wants to meet me or request a sketch they're welcome to come check out the event.

I don't have many confirmed yet. There are a few I'm working on getting into. Haven't heard back yet.

For sure we are tabling at Steel City Con in April and Sci-Fi Valley Con in June. (both in PA)

me and few friends would go to local anime conventions in my country. They're not big as in japan or america but at least we got some for anime/manga/games lovers to meet up, open booth and sharing informations. They are Comic Fiesta, Animangaki and Nijikai. Nijikai is small event targeting certain kind of fans. There are others too but mostly in small scale.

So far the only thing I have confirmed is London MCM Comic Con in May! Thinking of doing Throught Bubble again this year, too

Now I'm looking at SPX even though it's state-side..Would be awesome to do a con abroad, though D:

I just did a local con- Onyxcon: Sankofa a couple of weekends ago. There I sold my print comic title, The Clique. It was my 1st convention in almost 2 decades- I had a good time, sold books, and made some new friends & fans.

I'm doing another small show the 1st weekend in March- the Atlanta Sci-Fi & Fantasy Expo. After that, I'm doing a larger show in MomoCon around Memorial Day weekend, after that I'm aiming for the 2nd Onyxcon show in mid August. Not sure if I'll pick up anything between June & August, or in the months after mid August.

Shanny8 2016-02-22 19:54:37 UTC #31

Heroes Con is IT! I havent been to that con in a LONG time, but I hear it's still one of the best cons that is affordable.

Shanny8 2016-02-22 19:58:44 UTC #32

I know the panic. I want to smaller items aside from the comics & posters- that's the stuff that kills me to do(like stickers, small cards, etc...).

AnnaLandin 2016-02-22 20:03:59 UTC #33

@Shanny8 Oooh yeah - I'm sending my comics to print this week, and then I'm getting cracking on all the little stuff. I'm definitely doing A5-sized prints (and maybe postcard-sized ones too), and keychain charms, and I want to do stickers but I haven't found a good place to print them yet - I wanna do kiss-cut sticker sheets, if possible.

Shanny8 2016-02-22 20:12:20 UTC #34

Only part that kicked me for the 1st show I did a couple weekends back was that i had a boatload of posters printed- 4 diff posters(the deal was 75 posters for $50 bucks, which adds to 300 posters for $200- it breaks down to a REALLY great amount per poster), but I barely sold any there. I'm not bummed about it, coz these things will last me a couple more cons!

foxowl 2016-02-23 00:28:13 UTC #35

Niceeee! I haven't been to London expo for a while, it's always so crowded ;w; I heard of thought bubble, is it any good?

Zpreader 2016-02-23 00:38:35 UTC #36

I don't sell, but my friends and I have made it a tradition to meet up at Connecticon every summer. This would be the sixth year for me.

I might go to CT Comic Con as well. Had a great time last year. Less manga, so I got to expose myself to alot of artists I'm much less familiar with.

foxowl 2016-02-23 09:55:29 UTC #37

That's really nice! I usually do the same with my group of friends too whenever I go to cons. Not so much this year though.

DeadAccount 2016-02-23 12:50:33 UTC #38

Agreed, London Expo's carnage on Saturdays, Fridays are pretty ok though D:
Thought Bubble is fun, but sales definitely werent anywhere as good as London MCM ones for us. It's mostly good for hanging out with other artists and getting in touch with the scene, I'd say. We've only done one though, so maybe next year's one will go better!

Artist_Block 2016-02-23 14:27:15 UTC #39

I won't be selling, but I'll be at MomoCon this year to cosplay! I'll be going as Deadpool and it'll be my first year there. I normally go to AWA, not sure if I'm going there yet this year.

foxowl 2016-02-23 19:46:57 UTC #40

Yeah, Fridays are pretty calm, for London ahah.
Ahhh, it sounds cool! Would love to go even if it's to meet other artists
