Deepest South: Vending at StratosFur 2025
This past weekend, I attended StratosFur 2025, a furry convention in Houston, Texas. While Friday was a bit of a debacle, I managed to get a seat in the Artist Alley on Saturday, June 7th and Sunday, June 8th. Here’s how it went…
The Big One: Fan Expo Dallas
Until this year, I had never been to a comic con as an attendee, much less as a vendor. The largest event I’d ever vended at was Texas Furry Fiesta this April with 8650 attendees, and it went quite well. While Fan Expo doesn’t seem to keep such exacting figures, I’ve read estimates of upContinue reading “The Big One: Fan Expo Dallas”
Plans for June
May was a very long, very busy month. It began with Harry’s Hay Days in Grandview and ended with Fan Expo in Dallas (more on that later this week). In between, I made some great progress on my Knights of Aralia series (if not enough for my liking) and laid some plans for the future.Continue reading “Plans for June”
Fan Expo Coming Up!
Greetings all! As some of you may be aware, I’ll be vending behind the Bluedrake Books table in the Artist Alley at Fan Expo in Dallas, TX this weekend (Booth A711, to be precise). If you happen to be in the area, I invite you to come on in and see all the amazing shows,Continue reading “Fan Expo Coming Up!”
Harry’s Hay Days…Not Mine
Last Saturday, I vended at my first outdoor event of the year (and yes: my first outdoor event since the disasters of October): Harry’s Hay Days in Grandview, Missouri. It was not a disaster, but nor did it compare to the glowing success of my first street fair a year ago.
Plans for May
This April was about what I expected after the high point that was March. The first week was consumed with preparations for my excursion to TFF, the second week with the trip itself, and the last couple trying to reorganize myself. May is going to be one heck of a comeback–at least if I haveContinue reading “Plans for May”
Harry’s Hay Days
Happy Monday to everyone! Hope your week is off to a good start. Just wanted to remind everyone that I will be at Harry’s Hay Days on Main St. in Grandview, MO from 10A.M. to 4P.M. on Saturday, May 3rd. Look for the Bluedrake Books banner. As usual, I’ll be offering some special deals toContinue reading “Harry’s Hay Days”
When Inspiration Strikes
We all know the feeling. We could be going about our daily lives, doing nothing out of the ordinary when suddenly it happens. What triggers it could be any number of things: something we hear on the radio, a dream, or simply the workings of our subconscious mind. Whatever the cause, inspiration can strike anywhereContinue reading “When Inspiration Strikes”
Return to Dallas: TFF 2025
Last weekend, I returned to Texas Furry Fiesta, once again entering the Artist Alley lottery on a day by day basis, since I was once again not accepted ahead of time. This was my first time ever coming back to a venue I have sold at before, which makes for some interesting comparisons.
